lHE PURCHASE of an automobile involves a con-
siderable amount of money and it should be
carefully considered from all angles before final
decision is made.
The value of the car to you depends on the value
built into it at the factory how much extra you pay
the dealer for distribution, selling, financing and
accessories and what it will cost to operate and
maintain the car after purchase. Each of these
factors as it relates to the Ford car, is frankly
explained below.
Economy iD production
HE FORD CAR s made economically because of
the efficiency of Ford production methods The
money saved through this efficiency is put back into
The car in improved quality of material and in
greater care and accuracy in manufacturing. The
constant effort is to eliminate waste and find ways
make each part better and better without increasing
cost-frequently at lowered cost.
Because of Ford economies in large production
and because the Ford organization operates on a
low.prot margin, the price you pay for the car is
much less than it would be under any other con.
dtiOns Yet it brings you many unusual features Of
construction and performance.
At least $75 extra value is represented alone by
the Triplex shatter.proof glass windshield, the
Rustless Steel, the four HoudaiIle double.acting
hydraulic shock absorbers, and the five steel.spoke

The Washington times., 1930-02-28

The lower cost of selling, combined with the
low charges for financing and accessories, means
direct saving of at least $50 to SIS to every
purchaser OF Ford in addition to the savings made
possibleby economies in manufacturing. The money
you pay for Ford goes into value in the car. Ii
is not wasted in high dealer charges.
The Washington times., 1930-02-28

roller bearings and the extensive of fine steel
forgings instead of castings stampings addi-
tonal features that reflect the high quality built into
every part of the car. Throughout, it is value far
above the price you pay.
LOUU dealer charges
HE SAME PRINCIPLES of efficiency and economy
that characterize the manufacture of the Ford car
are applied also to distribution. Obviously it
would do the public little good to save in produc
ton if these savings were sacrificed later in
sive costs of selling, financing and accessories.
The Ford dealer, therefore, operates on the same
low-proft margin as the Ford Motor Company, his
discount commission being the lowest of any
automobile dealer. He does good business because
he makes small profit many sales instead of a
large profit on fewer sales.
The Washington times., 1930-02-28

you pay for Ford goea into value in the car. It
is not wasted in high dealer charges
LOUU MED-E:eep costs
1T is IMPORTANT to remember that the cost of
your automobile is not the first cost only, but
the total cost after months and years of service.
Here again there is decided saving when you
buy a Ford
The cost of operation and up-keep is lower
because of simplicity of design, the high quality
of material, and the reduction of friction and
wear through unusual accuracy in manufacturing
and assembling. The reliability and longer life of
the car contribute to it's low depreciation per
year of use.
The intelligent, painstaking service rendered by
Ford dealers is under close factory supervision and
is considerable factor in the low up.keep cost of
the Ford. All labor is billed at a fiat rate and
replacement parts are always available at low prices
through Ford dealers in every section of the
United States.
In two, three or five years, depending on how
much you drive, the saving in operating and main
tanning new Ford will amount to even more than
the saving on the first cost of the car.

How to Cope With the Ant Nuisance

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There are number of common spe-
cies of ants which get into houses
from time to time and cause annoy
ance by appearing on foods, especially
sugar, cakes, candies and other sweets,
and cooked foods of animal origin. An
ant having once gained access to foods
of these sorts, reports the discovery
to the colony, and in an incredibly
short time the premises may be
swarming with these unwelcome Wis
ttors.
According to the bureau of entomol
ogy of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, both house and garden
ants at times become a pest in the
pantry and kitchen. The species that
live entirely within doors nest in wood
work, masonry or articles of furni-
ture They are often very difficult to
eradicate because of their inaccessi-
bility. If the nest can be located by
following the trail of the workers back
to the point of their disappearance,
the inmates of the nest may sometimes
be reached and destroyed by injecting
little carbon disulphide, kerosene
or gasoline into the opening, by means
of an oil can or small syringe. In the
use of these substances, precautions
should be taken to see that no fire is
present, as they are all inflammable.
The removal of attracting sub
stances from their reach should be
the first step. Keep food supplies
which are likely to attract ants in
tight containers or In the refrgera-
tor, and sweep up promptly any
crumbs of cake or bread scattered by
children. Find and destroy the nest
as soon as possible. 1t ought not to
be necessary to take up the flooring
to get at it, for poison bats can be
used to kill the queens and the brood.
Almost any Of the common garden
or lawn ants which build their little
crater nests in the soil about houses
may become temporarily house pests

once they knew that what they had
said about feet was what made the
ducks feel unhappy.
1--WE are having a fish dinner" said
Mrs. Pelican, in a society voice which
she thought was very superior and
smart, ''and we would be honored If
you would join us.
1T is to be given on the bank by
the pond and we'd enjoy having fine
guests like the ducks"
That made the ducks feel quite hap
py again and they quacked delightedly.
II would like to bring some de-
licious insects along with me-" said
Mrs. Duck.
II have some wonderful bugs-fresh
today" said Mrs. Tan-and-White Duck.
"Can't we join our dinners together
and all have party?
"1t will be every ones party. Ev-
cry one will be able to enjoy it,"
''Fine scheme" said Mrs. Pelican.
II approve Of it," said Mr.. Pelican,
"as l do great deal Of the marketing,
and like to see folks and creatures
share things and be friendly"
So they all had a fine party and
such a quack-quacking as was heard !!
