Smith Automobile Company
| HOME OF THE FORD :: :: :: :: WEST FIFTH STREET

All automobile advertising today is a striking testimonial
that Henry Ford was right years ago when he built the first
light car. Automobile manufacturers see what Henry Ford
saw long since-that the light car is the car best adapted to
meet all conditions.
You can hardly read an ad today that doesn't make you
smile and say: There's another proof that Henry Ford has
been right all along"
You pick up a current magazine-yo thumb its pages.
You glance through the automobile advertising. Manufacture
es that formerly advertised the advantages of heavy cars
have bout. faced and are now singing the song of the merit
of lightness.
And it all proves that it has taken other manufacturers
ten years or more to see what Henry Ford saw during the
infancy of the automobile industry.
The Ford today is recognized as the standard light car the
world over. And it is the standard light car because Henry
Ford had the correct vision years before the others.
Call at our garage and let us show and demonstrate the
Ford to you.

The warding of contracts outside of
