NOV that the New Ford has demon.
~ strated, even in St. Croix. its won
derful value for every dollar invested,
it is perfectly logical that automobile
owners will try to exchange their bigger
cars and get a more practical car.
The Ford is the most popular automo-
bile in the world.-No other used car is
so easy to sell as a used Ford, because
everyone has confidence in Ford quality.
And it is not expensive to re-condition,
since Ford replacement parts are lowest
in price.
Now is the time to get new and i'm

However, the coming of Mother
