MjOvd charges for distribution of the new Ford

THESE are days when every dollar counts. The
period of reckless spending is over* People are
? going back to the good old-fashioned principles of
thrift and economy. Value is again being carefully
considered.
Nowhere is this more important than in the selec
tion of an automobile. For the purchase of n car
represents a considerable investment. It should not
be decided On hurriedly, but only after ' analyzing
every important factor that concerns cost, value and
performance. The time to do this is before buying ?
not afterward when it is. too late.
On THE basis of cost, performance and the actual
comparative worth of every part, the new Ford is a
value far above the price you pay. It is made of better
materials and with greater care and accuracy because
of the recognized efficiency and economy of Ford
manufacturing methods.
The value of these methods is known and under
stood by millions of people. It is not generally real
ized, however, that these same principles of efficiency
and economy are applied also to every step in the dis
tribution of the Ford car. The low cost of selling,
financing time payments, etc., means a direct saving
to you of at least $50 to $75 in addition to the money
saved by Ford economies in making the car. Here are
three reasons why this is so.
(1) The Ford dealer does business on a smaller
margin of profit because of the greater number of
cars lie sells. His discount or commission is the low
est of any iiulcmobile dealer. The difference in your
favor, ranging from 25% to nearly 50%, comes right
off the pricc you pay for the car.
(2) The Ford charges for financing are low.
(.1) No expensive extra equipment is needed when you
a Ford. The car leaves the factory ready for use.
Tiie i.o.L. ^rice includes a Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield and an extra steel-spoke wheel, in addition
to four Houdaillc double-acting shock absorbers and
fully enclosed four-wheel brakes. Any accessories you
may wish for your individual taste are sold considerably
below the usual prices. None of these charges for sell
ing, financing or accessories is marked up or increased
to cover a high trade-in allowance on a used car.
Get all the facts, therefore, before you buy and
figure out just what you are getting for your auto
mobile dollars. Go beyond the f.o.b. price and find
out how much more you pay the dealer than
the dealer pays at the factory. Analyze the used-car
allowance. Compare all charges ? item for item? ?
value for value.
WlIEN you do this you will have a new appreciation
of what the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers
are doing to keep down the cost of Ford cars. You
will also know why it is possible to put so much real
value into the new Ford and still retain the low price.
The money you pay goes for value in the car. It is not
wasted in excessive costs in manufacturing or selling.

AROUND THE WORLD WITH

Mister, Traveler and I*eetur?r te'ls

World.
Mussolini, the Super Statesman. I
No tourist can trAvel in Italy nnd ;
not nee the master hand of Musso- j
lini nearly everywhere, be it on train, !
in hotel, in city or countryside. One
seen evidences of it as soon as they
arrive in Italy. Of course, those who
live in' Italy' are more conscious of
the many reformations of Mussolini
that have been brought about from
time to time. N?r countty in all the
world has had so many changes (and <
all for the better) as has Italy since '
thfe World War. Russia is trying to
bring about many changes, some rad
ical, under the leadership of the So
viets, which may result in revolution 1
I
and civil war, but Italy, on the other
hand, Is* becoming rnore and more
united under the direction and wis
dom of Mussolini.
It is sad that Mussolini has Ids
eye on the Holy Land, and if Italy
should come into the Protectorate,
Mussolini would ' bring marvelous I
changes in the Land of the Cfoss, but
he could not do it as quickly as in
Italy for there is a vast difference
between the Arab, and Italian. Per*
haps he would be cautious, and take
time to achieve his object.
Italy before the war was a land of
strikes and labor disturbances. My
fuide in Florence (a man 60 years
old), told m$ there was a strike In
Italy every week for ^ year at a
time. But with the arrival of Musso- ,
linl into the affairs of the govern
ment there came a great change in
a short time. He tabooed strikes in
Italy, am) managed' to get a measure
through the senate that any man who
starts a strike in Italy will be stood
up against the wall and shot down
by the firing squad. These have boon
no strikes in Italy since this order
went into effect. This is a drastic
move, but Mussolini makes it work
in Italy. Instead of Italian workmen
l striking, they are at work building
up the country. j
. At the time Mussolini went into
power a working day consisted of
eight hours of labor. IIo issued nn
j order that the time would be increased
; from eight to nine hours a day, tto
I that nine hour*, is a day's work In
Italy. This wasoa'great help *,o all
' eortstruction companies, railroads, ho
tela, stores, 'business houses, etc.
Followng the nine hour laboi law
i which he had enacted, Mussolini
J passed the order for (people to go
.back to war bread. He is against all
unnecessary luxuries such nn cabn
rets, confectionary stores, saloons, '
etc. He had all the cabarets closed, 1
all candy stores shut up, and closed
tight 28,000 saloons in Italy. There
ever once violate the law, then he
closos them for (food. Imagine ono
man "in Nngland or America doinr
anything like thatl
One of the most sweeping reforms
Mussolini has made in Italy was that
of the Sabbath observance. In nenrly
all foreign countries there la more
or less work and business carried on
during the Sftlfoaith. England and
Scotland arfl an exception to lhl? rule.
Mussolini gave the order that no
work (except what was absolutely
necessary) or business could be car
ried on In Italy on the first day of
the week. Therefore, no one can buy
anything in Italy on Sunday nave a
cigar, a newspaper, get a meal in
restaurant, . cafe, hotel or ride on the
bus or train. Imagine, if you can,
Enjoys Best Health
In 25 Years
DAVID P?. rn-^TCM.A
"At the age of 79 I am still active
in business and I attribute my entire
present good health, energy and vi
tality to the benefits I derived from
Sargon. I actually believe this won
derful medicine has added "years to
my life.
''For five years my health had been
failing steadily. My nerves were all
to pieces, and I hardly knew what a
sound ninht's sleep meant.
"Since taking the Sargon treat
ment I feel as well and strong a? T
was 25 years ago. I have a fine ap

biliousness and dizzy spells are all
things of the past." ? David S. Beck

some official in America paving such
an order for the people to observe.
He would be laughed out of the land,
and by some church people, too. It is
said, but I don't know whether it is
true or not, that Mussolini hod an
agreement with the Pope on Sabbath
observance.
By putting the people to work, by
doing away with strikes, by restrain
ing the use of luxuries, by economiz
ing, and thrift along all lines, both -
governmental and private, Mussolini
succeeded in reducig the Italian war
debt. By a diplomatic move of his
he gained the ear of our government
and pot an extension of time ofmoney
to us. Every move Mussolini makes
is a move of diplomacy and strategy.
He s a genius for seizing opportuni
ties for his own advancement.
Once again he made a bold move
in the matter of city and town elec- '
tions in Italy. He realzed that there
was an. expenditure of time and
money in municipal and town elec
tions. So he cut the "Gordon knot"
and said that ho would appoint all
the mayors of all the cities and
towns in Italy.
Now the question arises as to
whether the people of Italy stand
/or h11 these reforms? Most certainly
they* 'do. But the reply is that their
liberties are taken away and we
would so regard it in America, hut
lit is not so regarded in Italy. The
| outstanding fact is that Italy has
| prospered under tho leadership of
Mussolini as never before in all her
( history. The peoplo are in much bet
ter circumstances in most every way
; since the inauguration of Mussolini's
policies. Why should they complain
jwhen they have been greatly helped
I and assistod? Let It be remembered
(that the lot of the poor people in
Italy was a sad one at the close of
the war, hut now greatly bettered
by the nonius, wia{iom nnd loader- '
ship of Mussolini. In every city
abroad where I had an opportunity, t
( always walked out along the street*
,of the working class and poorer peo
ple. In Naples, I saw hundreds of
people out walking on Sunday after
| noon, and they were as well dressed
las our people, taking them in bulk.
