Ford Makes Another
Radical Departure

One of the most important steps
vet undertaken to protect used car
purchasers and at the same time
place the handling of such cars on a
more business like basis is the an
nouncement by Edsel B. Ford, presl-
dent Of the Ford Motor Company
that operating under a. company
plan. Ford dealers will hereafter
place a guarantee upon used Ford
cars disposed Of by them.
The Ford Motor Company Is the
first large automobile concern to
take direct steps in the matter OF
used cars. InaSmuch as there are
about as many Fords In operation In
the country as all other makes COM
bined, it is apparent that the action
Of the Ford Motor Company Will eX-
ert a wide influence on the market
ing of used cars and in improving
conditions generally in that phase
Of the automobile business.
every used Ford car represents
so much unused transportation and
is of value to someone" Mr.. Ford said
in his statement regarding the plan.
1.-THE Ford dealer through his posi-
ton and intimate knowledge OF the
car certainly is the best judge as TO
the value of this transportation
best to determine a price on the
mileage the car may be yet expected
to deliver--thats his business.
with this advantage the Ford
dealer is prepared to give his used

Study of the system in Washing

and Of the Packard laboratory re-

1t was only few years ago that
the "try and fit" method of manu-
featuring, now used in Europe, was
employed in making motor cars. De-
mands of the public for better cars
forced rapid advancement until now
some parts Of Packard motors which
have to fit as closely as one ten
thousandth Of an inch must be made
perfectly. To hold this degree OF
perfection guages have to be checked
daily with degree of precision un-
dreamed of only a few years ago.

III re-conditionins is necessary he
mechanics using improved equipment
and genuine Ford parts, and with
these economies and advantages he
is able to offer the used car to the
purchaser at low cost and with a
guarantee covering its mechanical
fitness"
The plan becomes effective at once
and places a guarantee on used Ford
cars purchased from authorized Ford
dealers thereby insuring proper me-
chanical operation under ordinary
driving conditions.
In assuming the direction and sup
ervision Of this plan to be carried
out by it's dealer organization. the
Ford Motor Company feels that 1t
is embracing an opportunity to be
of greater service to those who pur-
chase used Ford cars.

Low, roomy, easily handled auto
mobiles are demanded by the auto
tomobile public according to deduc-
tons made from the sales reports of
various manufacturers of motor cars.
While the Jewett filled all of these
demands, the Paige-Detroit Motor
Car Company, in keeping with its
policy of endeavoring to meet and
stay ahead Of public demand had
brought out a lower, more powerful
and easier handled automobile in the
1925 Jewett.
It's size can be quickly seen by an
inspection. Even a photograph will
show that it is lower. Its power has
been increased to a point well above
SIS horsepower. TO make it easier

Rebute

All Of Cadillac's 23-year experience in manufac-
turing fine cars-the last II years with eight
cylinder cars exclusively ely-unites with Cadillacs
latest engineering conceptions in producing this
new creation.
Twenty-three years ago, Cadillac laid the founda-
ion-in manufacturing ideals, in standards of
craftsmanship, in honesty Of purpose = for the
highest endorsement ever given a car.
Elevenyears ago, adillacpresentedt the frsteight-
cylinder car builtin America and for eleven years,
through painstaking scientific development Of
that principle, Cadillac has retained leadership
never approached.
The new Cadillac cars are Cadillac's greatest
achievement.
Evening star., 1925-08-02
Mechanical

A finer expression of the famous Cadillac 90
degree, V-type, eight cylinder motor, gives per
torrance abilities which more noticeably than
ever out-class all other types.
Cadillac engineers have builded anew on the
tested principles of eleven years of eghtcylinder
supremacy.
They have created an entirely new refinement
of the principle which is everywhere admitted
to be the highest form Of power development.
The results are even more satiny power-how, still
smoother and quicker aeceleration; perfection of
balance previously thought unattainable, riding
ease comparable with nothing but another new
Cadillac.
The scope of Cadillac's mechanical achievement
is indicated by an investment of more than
2,5OOOOO in jigs, tools and dies alone for the pur
pose Of producing the finest Cadillac in history.
All the resources-engineering, purchasing and
manufacturing both Cadillac and General
Motors have been brought to bear upon this
paramount object
Rightly, you may expect the new Cadillac to
excel all other cars.
Evening star., 1925-08-02
Ensemble

The new Cadillac wears distinction of design
which has heretofore attached to no motor car
Of American manufacture.
The new radiator is inherently the label Off
just as the long, sweeping lines of the bonnet,
blending into the body, emphatically announce
Heetness and alertness.
There are splendid strength, grace and harmony
of line in the moldng of the new Cadillac tenders.
Low to the ground, beautifully 1.-the, every curve
and phase bespeaks fneness, distinction and
good taste.
Beautiful bodies by Fisher cover every range of
requirement; and every type presents the charao-
teristic luxury OF the finely wrought.
In these splendid Cadillacs, we believe, the lover
Of fine motor cars will instantly recognize that
Cadillac has added the fnality of attractiveness
to unapproachable structural superiority.

POSSIBILITY OF
HIGHWAY JUNCTION

There is a possibility, we are Civ
en- to understand, of taking the mat
ter of making Mountain Home a
junction point of the Old Oregon
Trail and the North and South High
way, which runs down through Ne
vada. Weiser, at the present time is
the junction but as yet no real con-
struction work has been done.
Should this matter be taken up with
the State Department, we would no
doubt be in position to interest
the civic organizations of Boise in the
matter and some action could be an
ticipated. Should this be made the
junction point of the two highways
much traffic which now misses Boise
and Mountain Home would be divert
ed this way and this section would
no doubt benefit materially.

STOCK SOLD
AT GRAND VIEW

The Mike Rock herd of cattle was
sold at Grand View last week and
brought a very good price in view
of the condition off the cattle market
for the past three years 1t is re
ported that price of $40 was paid
for the cows and calves and S45 for
the two year old steers. The cattle
market seems to be gradually i'm
proving and around $50 is offered for
stock in fair condition. The price
received for the Rock herd was a lit
tie above the average owing to the
excellent condition off the herd.
