Busy all the time Crouch barely
has time even to talk about his
sacred car, but he surely believes
J in It..
Refuses To Sell.
I've been offered as high as

The old car is painted red. It's

aren't all they might be, but il

! placed, mainly because these parts
are not now available. The new
Maxwells are made from quite dif-
ferent pattern-and Crouch says he
prefers his old car.

81 Personal Message
to some friends we want to make

TO make the Jordan car well. they would have
confidence in the Jordan.
They do know what know about the hu.
man element in all manufacturing effort, and
they do not expect perfect automobile.
Experience has taught them to be tolerant
If the maker is sincere and the aggregate of
service warrants the investment.
They are the people who have learned
how unwise it is to live in houses of excessive
size with excessive attendant expense.
They are inclined to choose automobiles
in the same way for reasons of satisfactory
service and practical economy.
They are the people who do not display
their wealth to their neighbors. They prefer
to acquire distinction through the expression
of good taste rather than extravagance.
Many of them have been compelled in the
past to endure excessive weight and cost of
up.keep to enjoy comfort and reliability.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1921-03-27

WISH knew the best way TO make the
acquaintance and get the attention of a cer-
IL tain desirable group of people in this
country whose friendship we earnestly desire.
1t seems to me If they knew what Jordan
owners know about the Jordan car they
would soon become desirable members of tho
Jordan family group.
1t is easy to describe the type of individual
have in mind, but will have to rely upon
this message to seek them out in their homes
and get their attention for few brief mo.
ments.
The type is truly American. They consti.
tute the best citizenship of this country, living
normally, thinking intelligentIy, and standing
for ideals backed by common sense.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1921-03-27
A Fine Appreciation

They are the people who appreciate good
investment. They have learned that it's not
what you pay, but what you get for what
you pay.
They buy motor car upon the basis OF
valuable service rendered.
They do not speed because the car can
be driven fast-they have too much respect
for the law and other people on the road.
They do not abuse an automobile simply
because it will stand abuse. They will treat
the Jordan fairly and protect its good name.
They appreciate beauty in car-economy
of operation-and above everything else they
want long time service with freedom from
the little worries of the day.
They demand car which will last long
time, travel as fast or as slow as they care
to 90, and commands the respect of people
who know what an automobile should be.

Our Pledge to You

To such as these we want to give assurance
that the Jordan car will serve them well.
People of this type know that there is
vast difference between merchandise that is
carefully built and merchandise that is care
lessly designed to catch those who believe
that first price is everything
Such people can appreciate that Jordan
value does not lie in any one feature of the
cart is made up of innumerable little things
we do to guarantee long time service and
satisfaction to the owner.
If this message should reach single indi-
vidual of this group, and he decides to choose
Jordan car, he has the pledge of the Jordan
organization that the same standard of quail
ity and the same sincere effort to serve will
always dominate the Jordan organization as
long as the Jordan name plate appears on
