i To the
first half-ynillion
new
Ford owners
TO THE half-million men
and women who have re
ceived new Fords in the last
eleven months, there is no
need to dwell on the per
formance of the car.
You have tested its speed
on the open road. In traffic
you have noted its quick ac
celeration and the safety of
its brakes. You know how
il climbs the hills. On long
trips and over rough
stretches you have come to
appreciate its easy - riding
comfort. Continuous driv
ing has proved its economy
of operation and low cost
of up-keep.
This is an invitation to
you to take full advantage
of the service facilities of
the Ford dealer organisa
tion so that you may con
tinue to enjoy many thou
sands of miles of carefree,
economical motoring.
The point is this. You
have a great car in the new
Ford. It is simple in design,
constructed of the best ma
terials and machined with
unusual accuracy. It is so
well-made, in fact,
that it require# sur
prisingly little
attention. Yet that doesn't
mean it should be neglected.
Like every other fine piece
of machinery, it will serve
you better and longer if
given proper care.
One of the best ways to
do this is to take your car
to the Ford dealer every 500
miles for oiling and greas
ing and a checldng-up of
the little things that have
such a great bearing on long
life and continuously good
performance.
Such an inspection may
mean a great deal to your
car. To you it means thou
sands upon thousands of
miles of motoring without
a care?without ever lifting
the hood.
Ford dealers everywhere
have been specially trained
and equipped to service the
new Ford. You will find
them prompt and reliable
in their work, fair in their
charges, and sincerely eager
to help you get the greatest
possible use from your car
for the longest period at a
minimum of trouble and
expense. 1 bat is the >
true meaning of
Ford Sertice.

.New-paper Adtertl-iug Secrets Volume
and Rapid Turnoters
Right now?when merchandising is
once more a man's game and mer.
ohants are compelled to sell, rather
than hand the goods over the counter
r> anxious buyers?is the time to pay
particular attention to advertising in
order to secure rapid turnovers to
offset the smaller margin of profit
we have today.
On a declining market, such as ex
ists at the present timer'merchandise
must move fast Or a store will get
into difficulties. The public is asking
for lower prices and the only way a
store can give them lower prices is
to increase its volume and the num
ber of times it turns it stock.
This can be accomplished in only
one way and that Is by adopting the
cue proven method which the big sue.
cessful merchandisers of the country
use in securing volume and rapid turn
over?newspaper advertising.
Newspaper advertising is the cheap
est and most effective means of in
creasing your volume of business. The
flow of trade toward your store'will
steadily increase it you will but keep
the buying puMlc Informed- of your
preparedness to meet Its needs. Ad.
vertising in your local newspaper will
sell the merchandise it liberally and
consistently used, but careful con
sideration must be give^ the prepara
tion of your copy.
Store-news advertising should be
,'ust as interesting and attractive as
any display page of a mall order cata
log. The mail order house must of
necessity have strong compelling copy
in order to sell goods, on account ot
the great amount of extra trouble the
customer is put t.o in buying by mall
V. 1th a little time and thought any
merchant should be able to produce
advertising copy as compelling as that
cf the mail order house, which would
be sure to attract the public to hts
store.
Let your home newspaper Increase
yt ur volume of sales by presenting
tb the town and country folks regular
ly. as Interesting and attractive mer
chandise bulletins as those of the mall
t.ider houses.
Any merchant who will make a care
ful study of the five leading mail or
der catalogs and their supplements,
as issued. Is bound to become a bet
ter advertiser and also a better mer.
rhandiser.

HEALTH IS WEALTH
I Health is wealth, someone has said.
It Is also happiness, because to be
I unhealthful is to be unhappy. -
That happiness means health has
a scientific basis, according to a noted
1 scientist, who has experimented with
lists. ^
Those that have been tamed so that
t'aey could be handled in the hand do
not suffer the lit effects from experi
ments as do those that are wild and
sfraid during the experiment.
This is directly due to properties
of several glands of internal secre
tions in the human, this scientist says.
Since fear affects health, and there
to! e happiness, wise people will avoid
fear.
Most fear Is fancied anyway, and It
is a mental condition thatrtn a large
majority of cases can be overcome.
To be healthy and fearless then, Is
to be happy, which Is the goal of ev
ery human being.
