Captain Grant predicted that a service for passengers, mail and freight would be opened in the autumn of 1984. He said that ra gular 30 hour air journeys from Norfolk (Virginia) to European points would be attempted.

SATISFACTORY TESTS.

The first "sendrome" has beon constructed and anchored near her for experimental purposes and has been pronounced satisfactory in initial tests. Captain Grant said that five of these "scadromes" aro to be constructed and anchored approximately 500 miles apart between the American const and Spain or Portugal. They will serve aa landing fields for the trans- atlantic planea. Each "seadrome" will be equipped with accommo- dations for 300 persons, with acro plano shops, hotel, miniature golf courses and other facilities for trans-atlantic passengers while cach "Island" will have a resident personnel of from 100 to 125 per-

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. SATURDAY, JULY 221 1933,

I Endorse It Without Hesitancy-

THE NEW FORD V-8

TIME and again I am told-by my own organization and by others—that I ponalize myself

by quality.

Friendly critics protest our putting into the Ford V-8 what they call "twenty-year steel.' They say such quality is not necessary; the public does not expect it; and that the public

does not know the difference anyway.

But know the difference.

I know that the car a man sees is not the car he drives-he drives the car which the engineer sees. The car which is seen comprises beauty of design, colour and attractive accessories— all desirable, of course. The best evidence that we think so is that they are all found on the

Ford V-8.

But these are not the car. The car proper, which is the basis of all the rest, is the type of engine and its reliability; the structure of chassis and body, ruggedly durable; the long thought and experiment given to safety factors; the steady development of comfort, convenience and economy. These make the car.

A car can be built that will last two or three years. But we have never built one. We want the basic material of our car to be as dependable the day it is discarded as the day it is bought. Ford cars built 15 years ago are still on the road. It costs more to build a durable car-but two items we do not skimp are cost and conscience. A great many things could

But we would know, "get by".

-the public would never know the difference.

!

The New Ford V-8 is a car that I endorse without any hesitancy.. I know what is in it. trust our whole thirty years' reputation with it. It is even better than our previous V-8. It is larger, more rugged and mechanically a better job all round.

I readily say this in an advertisement because I know the car will back it up.
