Modern motor cars are engineer ed for year-round operation, the bulletin states, and the driver who takes full advantages of their en gineering refinements can reduce driving hazards to a minimum. The principal source of such hazards lies in poor tire traction on icy pavements where safe driving de pends on the avoidance of any abrupt application of either the power or the brake. Some of the points stressed in the bulletin are: “.A good driver uses second speed extensively in stopping, in approaching intersections, and in turn ng corners. With the syncro mesh transmission, it is simple and easy to shift to a lower speed and maintain control of the car at all times. Another important point is to leave the car in gear when slow ing down so that the engine may act as a brake. “Cultivate the habit of giving other drivers ample notice of your intention to stop, turn, or slow down,” the bulletin continues. “Even though you may have your car under perfect control, the driver behind you may not be so fortunate. Never permit the wheels of your car to spin if it can be avoided. Spinning wheels may cause dangerous sk ds, and if they come into contact w’ith a spot of dry pavement and thus gain sud den traction ,a heavy strain is placed upon the propeller shaft and rear axle. “Good visibility, always of the utmost importance, is assured in winter driving by the use of de frosting un ts which are available in several forms at moderate cost. Chains add traction in snow, but they should not be relied upon to take the place of sensible driving as a guard against skidding. “Besides making for greater highway safety, these suggestions will prolong the l fe of any car if thye are followed the year round. Proper care of the car in cold weather adds immeasurably to driving pleasure. The engine should never be raced, because lubricants flow more slowly when the engine is cold and the stress on engine parts is increased.” Putting water in the container for arrangements of evergreens will help much toward keeping them from besoming dry and faded before the holiday season is over. A ten cent can of red enamel will color many sprays of ligus trum leaves for use in decorations for Christmaß. They are almost as effective as the far more expensive poinsettias.

Ford offers two new car 3 for 1938 — the Standard Ford V-8 and the De Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in ap pearance but built to the same high standard of mechanical excellence on the same chassis. Because people liked our 19.37 car so well, they bought more than of any other make. They liked its looks, its smooth performance, and the way it handled. We have improved on that car in the newly styled Standard Ford V-8. But some folks W'anted still more size and style, with the same Ford advantages. For them, we designed a new' De Luxe line. The De Luxe Ford V-8 Sedans are longer with more room, larger luggage space, and finer appointments all around. NOW ON DISPLAY IN OUR SHOWROOM 1938 FORD V-8 Come in and Let Us Show You These New Fords. Many new features Beautiful Lines and Luxurious Finish Brantley-Henderson Motor Co. SALES SERVICE ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85- horsepower engine only. The Standard is even lower priced than the De Luxe. It has graceful new lines and well-tailored interiors—v-'th a choice of engine sizes—3s or GO horsepower. Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en gines available to every one, they were used only in expensive cars. Since then, four million Ford owners have learned the genuine enjoyment of driving an eight cylinder car with all-around economy. The thrifty “GO” engine, especially, makes possible in Standard models a very low first cost and equally low operating cost. With two distinct designs, two engine sizes and two price ranges, you’ll find a 1938 Ford car to fit your needs exactly.
