FoRDoR SEDAN
Deluxe Car of New Ford Line Has
Many New Features

The Fordor Sedan is the deluxe car
Of the new Ford passenger car line
and has many features that are new
and exclusive in low priced cars.
1t is distinctive from the other
Ford passenger ears in exterior APP
pearance. The eowl sweeps down in
a graceful curve from raised panel
at the windshield to a narrow oelt
moulding which runs from the front
of the hood on a straight line back
and around the car. This gives the
body a long. low effect
Another feature that adds much 10
the exterior appearance is the roll
belt effect below the windows, which
rolls down TO the narrow moulding
The top and rear quarter have round
ed corners and are covered with a py-
roxylin coated material of tan
shade, in pleasing contrast with the
body colors. There is a ventilator
in the lower panel of the cowl on the
left side, for greater driving COM
fort.
The interior of the car has a strik-
ingly rich and inviting appearance
The trimming is of light brown effect
with deeply cushioned seats uphol-
stored in soft brown hairline cloth, a
highly effective combination. The
cushions are of the lounge style with
overstuffed plain panels. Arm rests
IL the rear compartment are another
convenience. Seats in both compart-
ments are deeply cushioned, wide and
most comfortable. The attractiveness
of the interior is further EXCHANGED
by the use Of embossed panelling on
the doors and around the ends of the
seat in the front compartment. This
is a decidedly distinctive touch. such
as might be expected only in custom
built bodies. An oval bow light in
the rear compartment and flexible
robe rail are other pleasing and SER
viceable features. The hardware is
all nickeled in a conservative style OF
scroll effect and is all Of uniform de-
sign in harmony with other interior
trimming.

CITY DIDN'T BUY
OLD TROLLEY POLES
Traffic Signs Erected BY State
Highway Department With
out Cost to Taxpayers.--Old
Poles Strapped.

Iron trolley poles along the city's
streets have been removed. Every
I last pole has been scrapped. The city
didn't buy a single pole. The Junk
man took them all Nevertheless
there are traffic signs directing the
moforist into and through Putnam
at several vantage points. The signs
and the poles upon which they are
erected were furnished BY the state
highway department and, as Alder
man Mignault says, They are a cred
il to the state and to the city"
The highway committee consider
cd buying ten Of the old trolley poles
to which TO attach the new directing
signs. The junk concern which pur-
chased the poles from the Connecti-
cut Company asked $40 for each pole.
This price was considered exorbit-
ant The highway department stated
that ten poles were desired. That
was when IL was contemplated main
tanning a fire lane on Main street.
This would have cost the city 500
for the old poles.
Price Cut in Half
The matter was left to the discre-
ton Of the highway committee and
Wednesday morning Alderman Mig
nault. chairman Of the committee.
met the junk man and he cut his price
in half. or IS a pole instead of $40,
his FIRST price. BY this time Alderman
Mignault was in "A position to tell the
Junk msn he did not want them nj
$40 or IS or at any other price. Ar
fanxements were speedily made 70
overcome the situation without spend
ing a penny Of the tax payers money
The state stepped in and solved the
problem. The state department has
erected wooden posts and has affixed
the signs TO them. The signs direct
traffic to all points, north, east,
south, and west They are black and
white and painted arrow-shape and
are easily read from considerable
distance. The fact that this city has
been without signs 20 direct traffic
has been problem that has been TAX
en- up in the common council on sew
eral occasions. Now il has been SOW
ed and without cost TO the city. The
highway committee appreciates the
work the state highway department
has done; so do all citizens CONVEX
SAINT with the situation. The highway
committee of the common council is
also to be commended.
