"The new Ford has unusual speed for low
price car because present-day conditions require
unusual speed.
"The world moves more quickly than it used
to. There are only SO many hours in the day
and there is much to be done.
"Fify and sixty miles an hour are desired
todayw where thirty and forty would have satisfied
in 1908. So we are giving you this new speed.
Oniet and smootb-yv7,zing
at all speeds
"The new Ford will ride comfortably at fifty
and sixty miles an hour. 1t has actually done
sxty-fve miles an hour in road tests.
"Since modern conditions demand more
speed, they also demand better brakes to bal
ance this speed. So we are giving you four
wheel brakes in the new Ford.
"The new Ford will be quiet and smooth
running at all speeds and you will find it even
easier to handle in traffic than the old Model
I T Ford.
'sThe new Ford has durability because dura-
bility is the very heart of motor car value. The
Ford car has always been known as Car that
will take you there and bring you back. The
new Ford will not only do that, but it will do it
ingoods,yle. You will be proud ofthe new Ford.

lHIS new Ford car has not been planned
and made in day, Our engineers began work
on it several years ago and it has been in my
mind much longer than that. We make auto
mobiles quickly when we get in production.
But we take long time planning them. Moth
ing can hurry us in that. We spent twelve years
in>perfecting our former Model T Ford car
before we offered it to the public. 1t is not
conceivable that we should have put this new
Ford car on the market until we were sure that
it was mechanically correct in every detail.

that it is better to sell a large number of cars

year our profits were SO much larger than we
expected that we voluntarily returned $50 to

done that if this business had been conducted

to render service to the public.

legged confederate and then committed
suicide by means of a swiftly acting
poison.
According to officers, Miller told
them Of having met one reverse after
another until he neared destitution.
1t was then, he said, that an alleged
counterfeiter, Joe Alzeti suggested
that he aid in counterfeiting money.
When the officers arrested him
last night. Miller said he expected
the arrival of Alzeti in a few min
utes and at his suggestion the Of
ficers lay in wait for him.
Alzeti. on his arrival, put up a stiff
battle before being subdued. In the
excitement Miller slipped into a
Photographic dark room and on re-
appearing asked permission TO drink
a cup Of coffee. He drank the coffee,
in which he apparently had slipped a
vial of poison and fell dead at the
feet of his daughter.
Elaborate plates for printing coun-
terfeit $40 and $50 bills were found in
the house.
Miller, prior TO entering the real
estate business was a photographer.
