A TYPICAL STORY!
"When I arrived Home on leave I bought
a second-hand car.. It looked fine, but after 6 weeks I became so "fed up" with all the trouble and expense I was having with it, I sold it and bought a NEW FORD and brought it back with me. Never had the least trouble with the new car and the rest of my leave, was the most enjoyable I've ever had "
THIS STORY IS NOT ONLY TYPICAL 'IT'S TRUE. WE COULD GIVE THE NAMES OF MANY PEOPLE IN THE COLONY WHO HAVE HAD JUST SUCH AN EXPERIENCE.
