and the discovery and working out of new manufacturing methods.
 Evidence of this is found in the extremely close limits of measurement maintained in the manufacture of vital parts. Some of these are held true to within a maximum variation of three ten-thousandths of an inch (OOO3), reduc- ing friction and wear and resulting in greater reliability, longer life and better performance.
 As the quality of workmanship has been in- creased through the accuracy of the machine, SO has the quality of materials been increased. The savings resulting from new manufacturing economics have been put back into the car. Through typical Ford methods materials once thought too expensive for d low price car have been made available for LIS in the Ford mm

New Britain herald., 1929-10-09

INTERVIEWING the many advantages of the Ford 1 car, it is particularly interesting to note the relation between value and price.
 The low first cost is point to keep in mind at all times because it means a considerable sav- ing to you in the purchase of a car.
 Of even greater importance, however, is the reason for this low price and the manner in which it has been achieved without sacrifice of quality or performance.
 Every purchaser shares the benefits of the Ford policy of owning the source of many raw materials-of making thousands of cars day. of selling at small margin of proht-of con- stantly giving greater and greater value through the vast industrial organization that has been built up for the making of this car.
 A new degree of excellence has been brought within reach of all the people through the development of new manufacturing machines
New Britain herald., 1929-10-09

under any other policy, it would unquestionably cost you much more than the present price.
 The use of the Triplex shatter- proof glass for the windshield is definite indication of the quality that has been built into the Ford car So are the four Houdaille hydraulic shock absorb CTS. The five stecl-spoke wheels. The silent, fully enclosed six-brake systen1 The aluminium pistons The chrome silicon alloy valves. The simplicity and efficiency of the lubrication cooling, igni- tion and fuel systems. The large number of ball and roller bearings The extensive use of fine steel forgings instead of castings or stampings. The many other mechanical features that count SO much in reliability economy and long life.
 All of these are important considerations to nm every man and woman who is contenl- x%ND plating the purchase of motor car All ro,n,,r, are important reasons why the Ford Michigan delivers value far above the price.

BUSINESS WORK
Is GIVEN HERE
Commercial Training Said
Excellent For High
Graduates

With the public schools out for
the summer months. now is an op-
perfume time for the graduate to
broaden themselves with q CONNER
cial course, q. w. Moothart MS.C.)
head OF the Valley Business college,
states. A commercial course is the
thing for the students. whether they
expect to continue ON In school or
to enter the business world, he says.
"A student who has taken only
academic courses finds himself
handicapped when seeking employ
rient. In this day. business cxecu-
tives take IL for granted that young
sters seeking employment have had
training in business colleges or their
equivalent In the public schools"
Mcothart says.
AS for the pupil who would con-
tlnue In college after high school. q
commercial course in between the
two aids remarkably. This in-he-
tween work broadens the student
with only an academic viewpoint
and helps him in the selection of a
lfe's work TO which he Is adapted.
The business college work KS often
found 20 be q strong ground work
for those who plan 20 seek N Bust
ness Administration degree from a
university.
Shorthand. ~typewriting and
other things learned at the business
college gives the pupil advantages
In studying the lectures in univer-
stiles. The manner OF teaching In
the average high school and univer-
sity represents an abrupt change.
Unless the pupils are prepared TO
take fun notes from the university
lectures, they + likely miss a
number OF important parts. with
business cvollege training this be-
comes easy"
With this training one can also
earn their way through higher in
situations OF learning, Moothart
points out.
The college here. located at s05
Elizabeth street. Is offering special
short summer courses. These are
arranged 50 that the pupils can
complete them within two summers.
There are days and night classes.
Another line OF instruction prov
ing popular here. Is the prepara-
ton for civil service work. Young
men and women are prepared to
take the tests Of the u. .. for posi-
tons in its many departments
through this course.
Moothart states that the demand
OF local interests for business col
lege graduates Is greater than his
institution Is able to supply.
Moothart has spent q life time IN
educational work. having been con-
nected with public schools over a
long span OF years. He was presi-
dent Of an Oklahoma junior college
at one time.
The commercial school here Is
fully accredited by other institutions.

Curbed Production
OF Oil Is Meeting
With Some Success

NEW YORK. Nav 2o.-tF-De-
spite the fact that the total petro-
leum production of the United
States is expected to reach a new
record above 902. 100000 barrels. the
trend Of daily average output in
dicates that efforts to reduce pro-
duction 10 the level Of demand are
meeting some success.
A report OF the United States bu-
reau of mines shows that the excess
Of output v demand the last year
was considerably below that Of 1927
with tibet exception OF January and
the latter part of December.
This may be ascribed to increased
demand. the 1923 domestic require
ments running well above those of
1927. but IL Is also the result. to some
extent, Of the fact that during the
first half OF 1923 daily average pro-
duction was held TO 1927 levels.
It was only after July when new
and flush pools were brought in that
daily average production really ex-
ceeded that of the previous year.

Twenty-six Of the companies are
engaged in financing and other ac-

The aggregate value OF all stocks

Some well informed persons in
