Showing Most Artistic, Models That Ford Has Ever Made. ^The first of the new type Ford cars recently received are now on display at the Crowell Auto Company. The higher radiator, now standard in all Ford types, has brought a general improvement throughout the entire line and the new radiator apron blending with similar apron effects on the fenders gives the front of the cars a highly finished appearance. The touring car shows *a decided improvement having a more streamline effect. It is lower in appearance, a feature adding much to the attractiveness of the slanting windshield and one-man top. %he Ford runabout is likewise much improved and looks more sturdy. The coupe is entirely new4n body 'esign and construction^.. There is# a moTe trim exterior appearance, more comfortable sea-ting arrangement and greater luggage carrying- capacity. From the dash there is a graceful sweep in the cowl to the radiator. The doors are wide and. heavily framed. A larger compartment at the rear gives increased room for luggage an<l the new type fender is more secure. Ventilator in the cowl and a visor ever the windshield add to the exterior appejrrance, effecting a" high duality dsf)cct.~ Interior arrangement is most convenient and the upholstery is choice. The seat is deeply cushioned and the cushions are divided making it easy for filling the gasoline tank which is under the seat. A Ismail recess shelf at the rear of the seat is handy for small parcels. The doer windows are equipped with revolving ' type window regulators permitting' any desired ventilation. Doors are provided with locks. The higher radiator has greatly enhanced the Juuroty of the Ford <Four. Interior fittings are of choice material and the arrangement of the deeply cushioned seat has been effected so that at the rear there i3 a small recess shelf for carrying parcels. The rear vision window is much larger and oblong in shape. Door windows have been equipped with revolving type window regulators and floor locks are provided. Side windows are equipped with .The lever type window lifters. (Marked, too, is the improvement in the four-door sedan. Highly popular since its introduction a year ago,! because of its low, graceful lines, the car now presents even much better lines and a sturdier appearance. This has been brought about by the installation of an entirely new jowl with a graceful sweep from the flash blending into the larger hood and radiator. The change also affords1 an increase in leg room for occupants ;i Tne iront seai. In the open type?, the touring car and runabout, the cowl has been enlarged and flows in a graceful curve to the higher hood. The result brings a most pleasing, effect to the exterior appearance of both types. The improvement in the touring car whych came when the one man top and slanting windshield ivere introduced, is greatly enhanced hv the larger radiator, the car appearing lower and more attractive than ever. The effect on the roadster is likewise most appealing, giving it a more rugged and sturdy appearance. The new radiator nlsc is extended to the Ford truck chassis, affording improved appearance and better coding to delivery service. These new Ford types and the generally voagg-ttized? performanccn abijitv cf the Ford under all motoring conditions. premise to brine a greater demand than ever before as the public more fullv neouainted with the higher standards and greater values which have been incorporated. No changes are contemplated in prices. ? . BVSHY FORK H. S. OPENS 19th. The Bushy Fork High School will Open Wednesday, September 19th.

Bright Prospects Of the Asm. There having been put in circulaion here some reports credited to llr. Sands concerning the standing if the Tobacco Growers Association ehich were hurtful Mr." E. G. u?g rrote and asked concerning them, fr. Sands replied as follows: Sept. 5, 1923. lr. E. G. Long, Vice President, . Peoples Bank, Roxboro, N. C. >car Mr. Long;:- * Your favor Of the 4th .instant roeived. I am very tnu?$ obliged to you or taking the, position you did iu reef ence to the reputed statement I ad made regarding the Cooperative association. There is no reason in tie world for .any one to feel disturbd regarding the future of the Tobaco Association.. Every thinking farmrand business man, whom I have let, agree^with us that the Association made the price of tobacco last ear, and is doing it this year; that lie members of our Association have eeeived already more than they tould have gotten if there had been o Association, and many of them ave received^ as nmgh already as hose who sold their tobacco ottvthe pen mraket The Association is still arryiftg twenty million pounds . of* obacco. which is of high grade, and -hich it' is holding for fair price*. >ur receipts so far this year have een much\larger than they were up a the same time last year, and the lembers who were delivering tobac o to us are delighted with their adances, etc. Those who predicted that th,? Asociation could not survive havo been isappointed, and they are fighting his year harder than ever before, but he business is running along most atisfactorily. We have been able to ell large amounts of our green rceipts at prices approved by. our sellng committees. If the. farmers who re now members of the Association ould induce the fellow, who is on he outside, to come in, they wo iH c a great work for themselves, for he man who is-selling tobacco on the pen marxet is a real enemy ti tne issociation. He is getting some cf he benefits, but doing nothing tc elp make the fight. Notwithstanding hat. the prospects of the Association re brighter than ever. Yours very truly, Oliver J. Sands, Exec. Manager. ORDINANCE AMENDING THE PARKING REGULATIONS OF THE TOWN OF KOXBORO. Be it ordained by the Board of Commissioners cf Roxboro: Section 1.
