Fords Proved Good
Christmas Presents

One little detail Of Santa Claus
job this year was to deliver to a
considerable part of his clientele
brand new Ford cars. OF course,
this was no new feat for the jovial
old fellow. For years he has brought
around new cars to replace old ones
and added car. here and there to.
provide transportation for all the
family. This year, the task assumed
greater proportions and furnished
new thrills for he left cars at thou
sands of homes which had never
before enjoyed the use of an auto
mobile and had never even expected
to own one.
The principal Christmas agent in
scattering this new measure of Yule-
tide joy was the Ford weekly pur-
chase plan. Thousands of persons
who started this consistent method
OF saving toward automobile owner
ship last summer received delivery
this month many of them as a
surprise for the rest of the family
On CHRISTMAS morning.
The plan, which was inaugurated
by the company in April 1923, has
shown steady increase in enroll
ment ever since its inception. Found
ed upon the same principle which has
made the Christmas savings clubs.
sponsored by banks, an overwhelming
success, this plan has offered persons
without ready capital an opportunity
to save with a Ford car as def
mite goal. BY the end of the current
month. approximately 100000 per-
sons will have received their cars
through the medium of this plan,
the average period between enroll
ment and delivery being five months.
Authorized Ford dealers every
where have already begun to report
enrolment of persons who have made
an early start certain of Ford car
for next Christmas. The next few
months are expected to show great
increase ever the same perion of last
winter. for persons of limited means
are becoming convinced in rapidly
increasing numbers that this is one
certain avenue to automobile owner
ship.

Three Sources Of Carbon

Carbon originates in three different
ways. So much has been said on the
subject of late that car owners are
tempted to believe that any one-of
the three is the biggest factor, de-
pending largely upon what sort of
advertising literature has been read.
Carbon comes most naturally to an
automobile engine through the COM
bustion of the fuel. The better the
combustion the less residue. ash or
carbon, whatever one chooses to call
it, will remain in the engine.
The decomposition and burning of
lubricating oil that leaks past the
piston rings into the cylinders is a
second source of carbon.
A third source is the dirt that en-
ters the engine through the car
buretor.
Which source of carbon is the
most pronounced depends largely up
on conditions. No two cars will car
bonize exactly alike.

pistons he could get, regardless of
whether they fitted. Out at the
factory they make a selection from a
stock of pistons and make sure they
all balance and are of exactly the
same size.
The owner-I'm still speakin' of
Smith-was also surprised to find
that the car eats up more gas now

Do Preliminaries First

In giving the engine few turns
with the hand crank each morning as
a means of limbering up a stiff
motor and filling. up the cylinders
with gas spray it sometimes happens
that the owner will forget himself
and switch on the ignition before
giving the battery a lift. This is
risky. Careful owners make it rule
not to unlock the ignition until they
have gone through the preliminaries.

The Old Mechanic Saws:

One of the things most car owners
can't seem to get through their heads
is that most repair shops are not
equipped to rebuild cars. There is
a big difference between repairin'
and rebuildin'. This difference is
sometimes measured by the big bills
owners pay for unsatisfactory re-
buildin' jobs.
I'll give an illustration that hap
pens to be in my mind. John Smith
down the way began to worry about
the loose pistons in his motor. He
could only hear them slappin' when
he tried to hear them, but things
were not right and Smith knew it,
One day he came to me for an
estimate on havin' the pistons re-
placed with new and diversified ones.
1 looked the situation over and told
him the whole job would cost about
a dollar and half.
That nearly took him off his feet
I explained that about all he needed
was six quarts of heavy oil and
determination to forget his trouble
for at least another ten thousand
miles. But, of course, that didn't

that the cylinders would have to be
rebored. thus maxim them larger. It
would have been cheaper for him in
many ways to have taken my advice.
