S tatistics are of little concern to a person when they
hurriedly place an important long distance telephone call.
They want service.
And they get service. Today, op almost every long
distance call, the distant number is secured while you hold
"the line. Only a few years ago, usually the operator said,
‘ I’ll call you back,” and you hung up the receiver to await
the connection with your party.
The statistics: In 1925 the average time in connecting
a call, 7.5 minutes. In 193d, only l.Sjmiriutes. And during
this period long distance rates were voluntarily reduced.
Consider what this means to you.
At high speed and low cost you can settle business
problems in other cities, buy, sell, collect, without leaving
your desk. And, too, you can pay social calls with friends
and relatives and enjoy a pleasant voice-visit with them
from your easy chair.
■
For information about the service, just ask the long
distance operator about the call you’d like to make to any
one, anytime, anywhere.

you examine the car itself. The Ford V-8 stands for
highest of value at the lowest possible price. The Ford has
the only V-8 engine in any car today under $2300. Every
model in this Ford V-8 includes many dollars worth of
“extras” at no extra cost. Every Ford model,regardless of
.price, gives you the same wheelbase, the same 123% inch
springbase. This new, modern car is the most Ford for your
dollar ever built! Roomiest, safest, easiest riding. And with
all that—this Ford costs less to run than any Ford car made
‘before. See it today. Drive it. Add up the built-in extra
values of the car—and the rock-hottom Ford prices will
., look even lower still! \ ~ ,
