ToRD offers two new cars for 1888
the Standard Ford va and the De
Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in ap-
pearance but built to the same high
standard of mechanical excellence - on
the same chassis.
Because people liked our 1887 car so
well, they bought more than of any other
make. They liked its looks, its smooth
performance, and the way It handled. We
have improved on that car in the newly
styled Standard Ford V-8.
But some folks wanted still more size
and style, with the same Ford advantages.
For them, we designed new De Luxe line.
The De Luxe Ford va Sedans are longer
with more room, larger luggage space,
and finer appointments all around.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-12-02

De Luxe cars are equipped with the S.
horsepower engine only.
The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. 1t has graceful new lines
and well-tailored interiors-with choice
of engine sizes-85 or 90 horsepower.
Before Ford made V.type 8-cylinder en-
gines available to every one, they were
used only in expensive cars. Since then,
four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine enjoyment of driving an eight
cylinder car with all-around economy.
The thrifty ''6O'' engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models very low
first cost and equally low operating cost.
With two distinct designs, two engine
sizes and two price ranges, you'll find a
1888 Ford car to fit your needs exactly.

OBITUARY

John L. WiE7on, of Sutherland,
North Carolina, was born March
81, 1854, and died Oct. 81, 1897, be-
ing 80 years, months and 10 days
old.
He joined Sutherland M. E.
church at the age of 20 and lived
devotedly to its vows all his life.
He was very instrumental in help
ing construct the Sutherland
church, and always showed constant
interest in its growth, care and up
keep.
During his period of illness he
was known to pray daily as was his
habit in life and just before pass
ing he praised the Lord, as he real
lied the end was near. Mr.. VIII
sons church life was perhaps
strengthened more by his know
ledge of the Bible, than any other
thing. He knew more Bible and
could interpret it's meaning per-
haps better than the average
preacher of today. One could not
engage him in conversation without
his quoting some great Bible truth.
Uncle John, as everybody called
him, will be missed but heavens
hosts are enriched by his presence
for we believe this good man is
now abiding with Him who allows
no pain nor sorrow to dwell.

Better Leases To
To Tenants Will Re
Stressed By FSA
To Promote Rehabilitation Pro-
gram, Better Lease Agree
mentS Essential.

The Farm Security Adrai1ist~a-
ton of the u. S. Department of
Agriculture will stress better lees
ing arrangements between landlords
and tenants in the interest of both
parties to the contract and as an
aid to the success of its program,
w. Bryan Oliver, County Rural Re-
Mobilization Supervisor for the FSA
announced from his Office in West
jefferson.
According to Mr.. Oliver, the need
for better lease contracts, including
such provisions as longer rental
periods, security to the landlord for
the protection of his property and
security to the tenant for re-im-
bursement for improvements made
by him, has been brought convinc-
ingly to the attention of supervis-
ors during the past two years in
connection with their program to
help financially handicapped farm
ers and tenants to get on their feet
again by means of Rehabilitation
supervised loans, work which
since Resettlement's recent Equida-
ton, is being carried on by super
visors under the newly established
Farm Security Administration. A
large percentage of farms needing
these Rehabilitation loans are ten
ants, he said, and it has been found
easier to work out sound farm
plan for families who have salts
factory leasing contracts.
In many cases the applicant for
these loans needs credit not only
for livestock and quipment-ar-
ticles which can be taken with him
if he is required to move-but al
so credit for soil Improvement
items, such as lime and seed for
permanent pasture, the return
from which the tenant will not be
able to realize in dollars and cents
the first year which he cannot take
away with him when he moves
Rehabilitation supervised loans are
repayablc over a pcriod Of from
one to five years, the longer period
being provided to give the borrow
er more time in which to pay
for these items which are expected
to produce results over a period of
years.
Where such applicant is a ten
ant, satisfactory leasing arrange
ment makes it easier. other oualifi-
cations and conditions being favor
able, to work out practical farm
plan with suitable crop rotation
and to extend the loan over a long
er period. In reny cases, it haG
been found impossible to work out
suitable plan or to approve loan
until a satisfactory lease has been
secured.
