WHEN you buy Ford there things you have
to worry about. One reliability The other is long life
Here's interesting letter from Ford owner in North
Carolina:
my Ford purchased May and has been l2l767
miles has stopped the road for kind what
except punctures.
"Thc brakes refined 1Ol 900 miles, My mileage
aged q miles the gallon and 10000 miles re travel
all kinds of road conditions-mounanous and flat.
Il consider this wonderful record and
will also be a Ford"
This is just of many tributes the reliability and
long life of the Ford Ford in Iowa tells of driving
his Ford $4,000 miles in single year. Another writes of
100000 miles of good service.
Think ahead when you considering the purchase of
automobile and consider what will be like after thou
sands of miles of driving Will you still be satisfied? VIII
you still say ''ts great car?
If it's Ford, know everything will be O. K 1t will

Worthwhile dollars in of operation and upkeep and

Many Of them are World War

They are willing to do anything

CITY: PLANNED.
FOR FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES
Big Cooperative community
For North Side of the Ave-
nue. Urged by Senator

A Government city consist
ing of cooperative apartments
to house Federal employees was
urged for construction on land
north of Pennsylvania Avenue
not included in the Federal
building program by Senator
Smith w. Brookhart (R.) of
Iowa, today.
Under the Senator's plan, Fed
eral employees would be able to OBJ
tain housing facilities at a rate
much under the present prices,
which he contends are held aloft
by fraudulent financing of build
ings.
To Be Complete City
The project would include sew
eral large apartment houses con-
tanning the most modern facilities,
cooperative markets and co-opera-
tive department stores. The
cooperative scheme is in line with
Brookhart's usual policies on
marketing and selling.
Under the plan of cooperative
marketing, the Senator believes
that farmers of nearby Maryland
and Virginia would be able to dis
pose Of their produce at prices ad.
vantageous to themselves and to
residents Of the Government city.
Rates Of interest would be low,
and, according to the Senator,
Federal employees would be- bene-
fitted in monetary and social
way.
Would Buy Apartments
They could purchase their
apartments on a cooperative
plan under an easy payment sys-
tenn from the Government, and
if at any time they wish to leave
the city because of the loss Of
their positions or other reason,
the Government would return to
them the money they had in
vested less a certain depreciation
value.
Senator Brookhart has not gone
thoroughly into the plans as yet,
but he said he would submit his
proposal to the Park and Plan.
ming Commission at future date
and have that organization make
inquiry as to the cost Of such
construction. The Senator be-
lieves that the cost would be
high, as the proposal is I. large
one, but he believes the return
on the Government investment
would Immediately compensate
for such an expenditure.
Sees Social Advantages
AS well as reducing the living
costs of Federal employees, Sen
ator Brookhart said the project
would provide many social advan-
tageS. Persons now employed in
the Federal service living in all
sections Of the city would be able
to congregate in one area that
will soon be beautified by build
ing development and park pro-
gram and would be in closer
touch with others from their own
communities and States.
Transportation costs to and
from work would also be greatly
reduced, he said.
After making an investigation
CT the possible cost of construc.
ton of such buildings, Senator
Brookhart plans TO introduce q
bill for erection of a Government
city during the next session of
Congress.
