Science Beats the Sun
it
Future Farmers
INDUSTRIAL engineers have now
developed the device shown above,
Consumers Information reports, to
test color-fastness of fabrics, so that
manufacturers can make sure in ad
vance that their materials won't fade
in the sun. Women never used to be
-ure that their dresses and draperies
would retain their original brilliance
until they had actually been exposed
to sunlight. But through the use of
this machine, developed by Industrial
research experts, it is now possible to
tell whether dyed fabrics will hold
their color. This is one more example
of how industry helps the consumer.

SAVE MONEY?
. Th Standmrd Coup , - " -
The Standard Ford V-8, with 60-horse-power
engine, gives you a lot of car for
a little money.
300,000 new owners acclaimed the
"thrifty 60" last year. Hundreds a day
are buying it in 1938. Why?
v Because it is priced low includes
essential equipment .without extra
charge-rand goes farther, between
filling stations than any Ford car
ever built. Owners all over the country
report averages of 22 to 27 miles on a
single gallon of gasoline,
But economy isn't all the story by any
means. The Standard "60" is built with
the same precision as the De Luxe "8$"
and has the same, 112-inch wheelbase
chassis. It is easy to look at and ride in
as well as easy to buy and run.
There's a -Ford dealer near you.
