FOR SALE: Com, fodder, meat and lard for sale. i A. W. SIMKINS. 3-30-2tpd. ] THE UN I VERS AL CAR . During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the mar ket, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no complaints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle are the vital funda mentals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and econo: Ac way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which comes from .jng practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks are serving along; all industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not be as large as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Ton Truck in all classes of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days of modern business methods, this worm-driven One Ton Ford Truck has become an actual necessity. Come in and talk it over. YONGE & MOONEY, Edgefie?d, S. C. H. G. ?IDSON, Johnston, S. C. Long Branch Items. . Miss Cleo Rhoden of Eureka sec tion spent several days last week with Miss Alma Clarke.
