Fords Go Like Hot Cakes

Cobb & Donovan have sold since the

cars a fact which goes to show that
the popularity Of the famous Ford
is far from being on the wane. Mr..
Donovan says that had they been able
to get more of the machines they
could have disposed of nearly that
many more and that they have now
orders ahead for quite a number OF
cars. Anyone who is contemplating
the purchase of a Ford for next sum-
mer should get their order in at once
so as to be assured that they will have
it on time. The firm is also making
quite a hit with the motor-traveling
public through the fact that they have
a day and night service, something
unusual for a city of this size and
the only city smaller than Grand
Rapids and other like places to main
tain this service. They have also
taken a line Of Parry truck bodies
which are just the thing for a far
mer's truck and it will be worth our
farmer readers time to turn to their
advertisement on this body, on page

them.
