New Ford Weekly
Purchase Plan is a
B oon to Many

:'The Ford Weekly Purchase
Plan is going to be boon to many
families, and permit them to buy n
car much quicker than they ever
drcamed,' Edgar Brothers, local
Ford dealers, said today in discus
cusing the new plan which is Great
ing such widespread comment and
which is being enthusiastically re-
ceived everywhere.
''1n my experience as Ford
dealer, and | believe it is true with
every other dealer and salesman as
well, have met many persons who
expressed their desire to own a
Ford, and who frankly told me that
somehow they never could get to-
gether enough money to make the
initial payment on one.
"The Ford Weekly Purchase Plal
simplifies it all and makes it easier
to come into the ownership of n car.
1t is constructive automobile
buying in the simplest and easiest
form and presents to countless fam
lilies all over the country the long
wished for opportunity of enjoying
motor ear benefits and pleasures.
Here's Example
"Take the family where, say, the
father is not the only wage Garner,
but where perhaps a son or daugh-
ter or two are at work. The family
never has enjoyed a ear, yet every
member times without number has
expressed a desire to own one.
Under the Ford Weekly Pur-
chase Plan there is no reason at all
why such family should not soon
own a Ford ear. If each member
contributes just little of his or
her earnings each week it will hard
ly seem any time at all before the
whole family will be enjoying a car.
And one of the most appealing
features Of plan is that it is adapt
able to the means of practically ev-
cry one. The weekly payments,
which are deposited to the credit
of the customer in the bank and
draw interest at the regular savings
rate, may be fixed to suit the desire
of each purchaser. What could be
easier than that9'
