price of this modest little car for the

an equally good seller next season as it
has been in the past. This car was de-

the possibility of a car for all the people:
that the automobile. like the piano. might
be made a commodity, something every
family might own and enjoy.
The Ford car is called the Nanadium
Steel car. as all essential parts are made
of Nanadium steel. 1t is unusually light.

said to be especially remarkable for its
