Ford-Made Bodies
Prove Very Welcome

While the use Of commercial cars
continues to grow and while users
are more and more turning to the
lighter units as the most economical,
a review of recent advances in this
division Of motor transportation re-
ve&b an interesting and Significant
development. This Is the entrance OF
Ford a. q commercial car BODY
builder.
Everyone Is familiar with Ford in
the passenger car fields. where he
has brought low cost transporta ton
without parallel anywhere. The
Gradual Introduction Of Ford built
Commercial cars indicates that users
in this particular field are to bene-
At now to a greater extent than ever
before.
For years the Ford ton truck
chassis has been the most popular
Of the lighter truck units and at
present approximately 1870 OF the
one-ton trucks in use In the United
States are Fords. Until little more
than a year ago, however, purchasers
of the Ford truck chassis had to Sc
cure bodies from outside manu-
facturers.
The first appearance Of Ford IN
the commercial car body field came
with the introduction of an all
steel express type body with open
cab. also of steel construction. The
cab and body were built with view
of giving to the user the greatest
possible value In construction and
materials and at the same time a
unit that was light and durable, de-
signed to meet a variety OF require
ments.
with this body on the market 1t
wasn't long until the Ford Motor
Company provided screen sides and
canopy top, thereby extending the
trucks utility to delivery and haul
ing services requiring protection OF
merchandise from the elements and
from theft, providing at the same
time ample loading space.
While these body combinations
met a large share of the require
ments in the commercial and agrl-
cultural fields there still remained a
certain division that demanded stake
and platform trucks.
In order to satisfy this demand the
company recently introduced a new
stake body, which not only meets
many hauling needs, but has par
ticular value to the farmer, for the
body is easily adaptable to the use
Of cattle and grain sides. giving the
man on the farm transportation
unit to meet practically all of his
hauling requirements.
A closed cab of steel also has been
introduced. 1t is adaptable to any of
the body types and because of the
complete protection it affords
against the elements has grown
rapidly in popularity. A feature of
this cab is that two panels in the
back may be removed to afford ac-
cess to the truck body.
Ford also is providing a light pick
up body for the Model #. chassis
designed to care for light delivery
work. This body, is also all steel
and is mounted on the Ford run
about which gives the driver COM
Portable seat with ample room for
another passenger.

More Comfort
For the Driver

The passenger automobile Of to-
day, compared with that of few
years ago. shows clearly the results
of almost unlimited effort which de-
signers and engineers have devoted
to increasing driving ease and riding
comfort. Controls are easier to
operate, springs are longer and more
flexible, seats and upholstering are
more comfortable. bodies are more
roomy. closed car production has
been vastly increased.
But how much effort has been
devoted during these years" asks

car and truck more comfortable for

FIRE DESTROYS

Residence and Barn in L. Y.
Beck Farm Destroyed By
Fire Tuesday Night,

The residence and barn on the
farm Of Mr.. L. V. Belk
situated about one mile west OF
town, was totally consumed by
fire between 11:00 and 1900
o'clock Tuesday night, entail
ing heavy losses to Tom Preyar
(col,) who lived in the house,
and Mr.. A. Y. Yarbrough, who
has possession of the farm, in
addition to the loss of the two
buildings.
The origin of the fire is un-
known.
The whistle at the Washing
ton light plant sounded the
alarm about eleven o'clock.
Guided by the flames, a few
citizens of town went to the
scene. They arrived just as the
buildings were falling in and
little aid could they offer.
The Preyer family narrowly
escaped and saved nothing from
the house. A mule, fastened
in the barn, managed to save
itself in some manner.
'SSe Yarbrough, who has
a leo. Afarm, states that
the bar >ed the seed
from eleven bales of cotton
and many tools and number
of farming implements, which
is his loss.
The loss will aggregate sew

RADISH CROP
Local Seed Distributor Reports
Sale of OUer TIbO Hun
dred Pounds.

The w. j. Johnson Co. here
has sold more than two hun
dred pounds of radish seed this
season. The sales indicate that
about fifty acres have been
sown to this crop, which, if the
season is favorable should
yield a number of carloads. 1t
is certain that the acreage this
season is much larger than ev-
er, but data as to the exact
acreage is not available.
A meeting for the truck
growers will be arranged in
the near future and the details
of marketing, shipping, ETC.,
will be worked out at that time.
A great deal of interest in
growing other truck crops here
this season, including canta-
loupes and tomatoes is mani
fes.~
The lucrative possibilities OF
the soil of this section for
growing truck is being realized
by our farmers and they are
gradually turning to early
