TIE Ford VS. is ready for normal driving
when you buy it. There is no tedious period
Of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You
can drive it up to so miles an hour the first
Gay. And after the first hundred miles you
can drive it as fast as you desire.
That means greater motoring enjoyment for

motorists who are thinking about new car
for vacation trip-to physicians, saleslnen
and all those who use a car for business. In
stead Of dragging along at slow speeds for

because of unusual accuracy in the manufac-
ture of moving parts and the smoothness Of
bearing surfaces. Clearanccs are correct when
you buy the car. It is not necessary to depend

Deputy Labor Commissioner John

advised by State Labor Commis-

Commissioner Nolan says: AS

be paid.
1T is my sincere belief that the
