You should call at our show room and see the improved Ford cars now on display. While your first thought will be of their pleasing appearance; you will quickl realize how greatly comfort, convenience and usefulness are increased. A pronounced stream line effect is given by the chassis being dropped and the bodies lowered and lengthened. More room, more ease, more style. The seats, low and deep, give a sense of comforting security both to driver and passengers. ANDREW HARPER
