C THE UNIVERSAL CAR Insist On Genuine Ford Parts Imitation "Ford" parts are being sold by many mail-order houses, down-town stores and garages to unsuspecting Ford owners as "Ford" parts. But they are not Genuine Ford parts made by the Ford Motor Company. They are made by concerns who have no connection whatsoever with the F" i Motor Company. These imitation parts are not even made from the same grade of steel, or under the same ..formulas used by the Ford Company. They are counterfeit parts. Tests have shown them to break when the genuine parts didn't even bend, and they generally are from thirty five to one hundred per cent, lower in quality. The authorized Ford Dealer is your protection. As such, we handle nothing but the Genuine Ford parts. They are made from the famous Ford Vanadius Steel and ? each part?according to its use?is heat-treated in the way that will give it the long est wearing qualities. Every part is the same as its duplicate in your Ford -car or Ford truck. Our stock of parts is complete. And our Ford garage and Ford mechanics are at your, service at all times. Drive in when replacements or repairs for your. Ford car may be necessary. Save your car and also your money. SHAW MOTOR CO.
