In furniture as in everything
but one kind of upholstery ? mo
hair velvet ? r?'m:iir s in constant pop
ularity ever since the invention of
power machinery put It within the
reach of everyday folk. nnd not Just
oC kings ami nobles, as in previous
centuries.
The demand fop furniture covered
with fubric made from the fleece
of the angora goat has increased
steadily until now t tie United States
leads the world in angora goat rais
ing and consequently in the prcduc
tion of mohair materials.
Its great durability is undoubtedly
the chief reason why mohair velvet
Is an upholstery perennial. Not even
th?> beauty and luster of its soft tex
ture would sill lice to win the house
I wife's repeated approval if mohair vel
vet, or velmo as it is often called, did
not surpass all other materials in
| wearing quality. This is partly be
cause the mohair itself is the longest
wearing animal fiber known and partly
because !t is a pile fabric, with the
I wear coming on the ends of the fiber
instead of along the sides. As hlixli hs
-PUHki ??f these sturdy fibers jire found
to the square Inch of mohair velvet.
Some knowledge of the physical
structure and chemical composition
of the mohair fiber Is necessary to
understand why it makes a superior
upholstering fabric. Seen under a
microscope, the mohair fiber Is smooth
and shiny, with fewer scales or ser
rations than on the wool fiber. This
means that it It does not attract dirt
so quickly, that dust tends to slide
ofr the smooth hairs and that actual
dirt Is easily removed with a swift
brushing or with soap and water if
necessary, without afTecting the color.
Then, too, mohair takes a fast, acid
so that the effects of sun and
strong light need not be feared.
Like all animal fibers, mohair is
normally attractive to the pestiferous
house moth, but now science has per
fected a means of effectually and per
manently mothproofing mohair velvet.

* * times, when a day of atonement j
was at hand, the sin-* of the people !
were symbolically p!a?*ed on the head 1
of a goat which was then allowed to I
escape Into the wilderness; h.?nce the '
word scapegoat, or hlan ?? bearer,
which has come down through the
ages.
No longer made to endure this, the .
goat Is. however, si ill serving man- !
kind In a variety of other ways, espe
cially the angora or mohair goat as
It Is called from its tleece. All the j
time they are doing this, they are
also prowing a wonderful tleece of ;
long, silky, white mohair which is j
clipped oucc or twice a year and sent
to the mills for manufacturing into
fabrics.
The pile material resulting, known
as velmo or mohair velvet. Is In great
demand as upholstering for automo
biles, trains, busses and alrpianes as
well as for fine furniture In the home,
because It will wear practically for
ever, and Is as easy to keep clean
as It Is beautiful to look at. It Is one
of the most satisfactory fibers known
for dyeing. Mohair, unlike wool, can
not be felted, but Is permanently re
silient and springy and therefor# cool
and comfortable as a seat fabric.

? Oltlt BRAKES
ABE UNUSUALLY
EFFECTIVE
Reliability and safety
due to simple design and
careful construction
ONE OF the first things you will notice when you
drive the Ford is the quick, effective action of its
four-wheel brakes.
They are unusually safe and reliable because
they are mechanical, internal expanding, with all
braking surfaces fully enclosed. This prevents mud,
water, sand, etc., from getting between the band
and drum and interfering with brake action.
Other outstanding features of the Ford are the
Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, four Hou
daille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers,
aluminum pistons, torque-tube drive, more than
twenty ball and ' roller beariugs, Rustless Steel,
reliability, economy, and long life.
\ou save when you buy the Ford and you save
every mile you drive.
