Snow, Sleet and Rain Have Kept You Indoors
the Past Week, but if You Want to Get in this
Contest You had Best Loose no More Time.
Every Day Will Count, and Yoy W ant to Get
Busy.
Now do not think because the
roads are bad now and you could
not use an automobile if you had
one that such is going to be the
case always, for you know in the
summer time our roads are all
right and an automobile is just the
thing. With a Ford Touring Car
you can spend the day in Durham
or Raleigh and be back home for
supper, and the cost will only be a
few cents for gasoline.
Yes, and we doubt if you ever
have another opportunity to get
such a splendid machine for so
little work or without cost. Some
one will get this handsome auto,
and if you want a machine now is
the opportune moment.
If you are interested just come
; right in and we will go with you
