the FORD FOR SERVICE

DR.. A. ID. Updegraft, of
Wichita. Kansas, has clearly
earned the distinction Of being
one of the pioneers as well as
the most inveterate motorist of
the Great Middle West. DR.,
Updegraft writes the Ford Mo-
tor Company that he bought
his first Ford in Wichita eight
years ago, and that in this per.
iod he has bought two Fords
and sixteen other cars Of as
sorted makes. He also states
that he has just turned in, as
part payment on another Ford.
a car for which last year he
paid 1856, and he figures that
he has lost in that unfortunate
venture the price Of two Fords.
He volunteers the promise that
he is back in the Ford fold to
stay" and closes with this OBJ
servation:
"The most foolish thing a
man ever did was to buy a
heavy car under the delusion
that II would elevate him pro-
fessionally or socially, and be-
lieve it Is this false sense of
pride that sells nine-tenths of
the money killers"

IF you own a piece of Brink. ley city property and that prop erty is worth 5000 you have just that much stock soto speak in the big municipal corporation of Brinkley City. The Mayor of the city is the head or 'busi. ness manager" of the corpora tion and it's a very costly mistake for any property owner to so far forget his own interests in dol lars and cents, as to have a part in getting the wrong kind of 3 man to manage or look after his interests. Our own interests should cause us to seek to get a man of real business ability it matters not whether we ''gee' with him personally.
