How much it costs for operation and up-keep The PURCHASE of an automobile involve* a considerable amount of money and it should be carefully considered from all angles before a final decision is made. The value of the car to you depends on the value built into it at the factory, how much extra you pay the dealer for dis tribution, selling, financing and accessories and what it will cost to operate and main tain the car jafler-pprchase. Each of these factors, as it relates m the Ford car, is frankly explained below. « ' ^ Economy in production The FORD CAR i« made economically be- cause of the efficiency of Ford production methods. The money saved through this efficiency is put back into the car in im proved quality of material and in greater care and accuracy in manufacturing. The constant effort is to eliminate waste and find ways to make, each part better and better without increasing cost—frequently at lowered cost. f Because of Ford economies in large production and because the Ford organiza tion operates on a low-profit margin, the price you pay for the car is much less than it would be under any other conditions. Yet it brings yon many unusual features of construction and performance* At least $75 extra value is represented alone by the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, the Rustless Steel, the four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers, and the five steel-spoke wheels. The unnsually large number of ball and foller bearings and the extensive use of fine steel forgings instead of castings or stampings are additional features that reflect the high quality built into every part of the car. Throughout, it is a value far above the price you pay. r* •• Nr--.. Low denier charges . i The SAME PRINCIPLES of efficiency and economy that characterize the manufac ture of the Ford car are applied also to distribution. Obviously it would do the public little good to save in production if # these savings were sacrificed later in ex cessive costs of selling, financing and accessories. I The Ford dealer, therefore, operates on the same low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company, his discount or commis sion being the lowest of any automobile . * «» • dealer. He does a good business because he makes a small profit on many sales instead of a large profit on fewer sales.

Detroit) Low charges for time payments throagh the Universal Credit Company ‘A The lower cost of selling, combined with the low charges for financing and acces sories, means a direct saving of at least $50 to $75 to every purchaser of a Ford, in addition to the savings made possible by economies in manufacturing. The money yon pay for a Ford goes into value in the car. It is not wasted in high dealer charges. Loir up-keep costs v It IS IMPORTANT to remember that the cost of your automobile Is not the first e cost only, bat the total cost after months and years of service. Here again there Is a decided saving when you bay a Ford. - The cost of operation and up-keep is lower because of simplicity of design, the high quality of material, —id the redoetieu of friction and wear throagh unusual ac curacy in manufacturing and searwihliug. The reliability and longer life of the car feeptribute to its low depredation per year of use. The intelligent, painstaking service ren dered by Ford dealers is under close fan tory supervision and is a factor in the law upkeep cost of the Ford. All labor is billed at a flat rate and replacement parts * are always available at low prices through Ford dealers in every section of the United States. In two, three or five years, depending on how much you drive, the saving fat operating and maintaining a new Ford wifl amount to even more than the saving an the first cost of the car. - ■ / FORD MOTQR COMPANY 'Ui'rU * si Columbia Monday.
