yesteryear to today’s reality.
In the radically new body design
for 1956, Dodge has carried the
Forward Look into an even bold
er, more dramatic form. Unique
high sweep rear fender tail fins
lend an aircraft-like effect and
mold the flavor of speed into
every line of the car, giving it at
the same time a pronounced direc
tional appearance.
New in’ its basic concepts and
exciting in its beauty and appeal
Is the Four-Door Lancer by Dodge.
All of the youth and vigor of true
hardtop styling have been skillful
ly combined with the comfort and
convenience of the four-door se
dan. Full-width rear doors pro
vide easy access to the rear pas
senger compartment, while full
side vision is assured by a unique
design which allows the use of full
rear door windows.
Four separate series comprise
the 1966 line of cars. Coronet, of
fering four-door sedan, club
coupe, four-door Lancer hardtop.
Lancer hardtop and Lancer con
vertible; Royal V-8 with four-door
sedan, four-door Lancer hardtop,
Lancer hardtop and Lancer con
vertible. Finally, a new Station
Wagon line offers a wide choice
of seven Suburban two-door and
Sierra four-door models.
Both the Coronet and Suburban
lines allow the customer a choice

One of the newest, most exciting automobiles to appear on the American motoring scene in recent
years is the glamorous 1956 Dodge Four-Door Lancer hardtop. All of the youth and vigor of true hardtop
styling has been skillfully combined with the comfort and convenience of the four-door sedan. While the
car shown above Is in the Custom Royal series, the same body style is being offered in the lower priced
Royal and Coronet series.

Those familiar with farms in Newberry county had no trouble identifying Mystery Farm No. 4
as the farm of Marvin Ruff on Route 2, three miles from Newberry on the Columbia highway.
The big pecan trees on the side of the house, and the home of his brother, Raymond Ruff In
the upper left hand comer of the picture made identity easy. One thing that fooled some
guessers, however, was the area in the photo which resembled a pond. Actually, it was land
which had just been turned when the picture was taken.
Mr. and Mrs. Ruff, she the former Leona Dehardt, moved into their home when they were
married in 1940. The farm was formerly owhed by Fred H. Dominick and was used for a dairy
farm before the Ruffs purchased it; It remains a dairy farm today, producing Grade A milk
and some beef cattle. Several bams , and outbuildings have been added since the Ruffs moved
in. A silo was recently completed. When the Ruffs first began production of milk, they sold to
the Borden plant when it opened hers. Fot* a number of years, however, they have been selling
Grade A milk to Pet dairies.
The Ruffs have one daughter, Gayle, who is 10 years old and a fifth grade student at bound
ary street school. Gayle is a busy girl, firon addition to her school work, she takes piano les
sons twice a week, atends church meetings, collects stamps, and has pure bred Jerseys of her
own to care for.
Mr. and Mrs. Ruff and Gayle are members of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, and
Mr. Ruff is a director of the Newberry Breeding Association.
On their 200 acre dairy farm are purebred Jerseys, registered Holsteins, Guernseys and some
Swiss Brown cattle. Their farm is mechanized and they raise hay and a portion of the grain
for the livestock. The Ruffs are cooperators with the Newberry Soil Conservation district.
