Millions of Model T Fords

are still in active service

FOR

•

nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor industry and it still is used by more people than any other automobile." More than eight million Model T Fords are. in active service to-day-an indication of their sturdy worth, reliability and economy.

ד'

Because of the tremendous investment which people have in these cars and because so many of them will be driven for · two, three, and even five more years, the Ford Motor Company will continue to make replaceme: t paits until, as Henry Ford himself

"the last Model T is off the road." says,

For the Ford Motor Company has always believed that its full duty consists not only in making a good automobile at a low price, but also in keeping it running efficiently for you as long as possible at a minimum of expense.

No matter where you live, therefore, you can still buy Model T Ford parts with the same assurance as formerly, knowing that they will give you the kind of service you have a right to expect, and at the same time protect the money you have invested in your car.

All Ford replacement parts, as you may know, are made of the same materials and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled, and are low in price because of the established Ford policy.

So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T Ford over the longest period of time, we suggest that you get in touch with the nearest Ford dealer and have him estimate the cost of any replacement parts which may be necessary to put your car in good running order. You may find that a very small expenditure will maintain the value of your car and will be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional service.
