Choose a Car With
Same Care Used In
Hiring An EmplOye

| A prominent motor car company is
sponsor for a decidedly interesting
article for prospective motor car pur.
ichasers. An indication of the broad
mlndedness prompting the advice con
tanned therein is that it does not deal
directly with the selection of any one
particular car, but will apply to the
general selection of any car on the
market.
Choose a ear with the same care as
iyou employ man. When you employ
a person, you ask for recommenda,
tions, for a statement that will help to
identify him to be able to Judge his
/ worth, his dependability, to you
You cautiously investigate his record
his reputation with former employers,
his reliability in past performance of
duty. If he gives you a bad impression
at first, he may never have another
chance. You are anxious to secure the
best man available for your need.
Your ear should be selected with the
same care. In the beginning, however,
keep in mind that no single car is the
only good car No car is the best in
the world
! There are many cars of acknowledge
ed reliability in make and performance
and, hence, You should Judge car by
the known reliability of the maker
/ Seek a car built by company of ac-
knowledged financial standing. Inquire
of the extent of its equipment, of the
number and size of its plants of its
reputation. 1t is safe to assume that
only successful ear can create large

,lrder Your Henry Early

The Partridge Brothers claim that
there was a mistake in the figures
as to the number Of Ford5 they
sold this season, and that instead
of three dozen it should have been
over nine dozen and they have CT
ders in for four more carloads.
The dealer has to have your per-
sonal order for d machine before
Henry will pay any attention to the
DEALER request to send on a car.
Ford got his idea on this from
the Herald Advance, which always
insists On having your order before
the paper is sent 70 YOU, and our
mother in law couldn't get It BY
any other means. However, the
Patridges say you can get youl
Ford about two weeks after leaving
your order. This i not bad con-
sitiering that Henry lives IN Michl-
ean-the state from which come SC
many If the great men and all d

ball and other games.
The painting Of the outside Of the

to be dramatic treat and at the

Messrs. Hogan and Waddell,
