There was the day when New York
welcomed her home from her Atlantic
solo and she rode uptown on the back
Of an open automobile, one arm clutch

long and thin, waving at the cheering
crowds. She took crowds as they
came, with calm philosophy that it
was all part Of the game.
There is the memory of the night
here in Washington when she attend

National Press Club. She was on her
honeymoon, radiantly happy. full Of
chuckles at the teasing she was get
ting. During the evening q phone
call came through for her and she
had to leave the dinner with the
laughter and applause of the room
ringing in her ears. Her cheeks were
rosy and her hair looked more tum-
bled than ever, but she laughed at
herself and came back with complete
poise to her place few moments
later.
Crowding thick and fast, other
memories. In brown slacks and tai
lored blouse as she sat one day at
luncheon in the airport restaurant at

her: you mustn't forget the CAL

De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85-
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 60 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.
Thethrifty go" 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

TloRD offers two new cars for 1898
the Standard Ford Va and the De
Luxe Ford va. 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 Va.
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.

OPINIONS
An Echo
From Ny Den
By S. Z. Gilbert

AS | sit here in my den With >

tie known and rarely considered
facts anent the Negro purchasing
power. This is a subject on which
even the scientific experts Of the
great advertising agencies are wee
fully ignorant; and for the NEST
part the sales directors Of aatien-
ally advertised products hold stub
bornly to ideas of the Negroes
buying power that are a mixture
of hearsay, prejudice and inaceHr-
ate estimates based on inferred
social status. As result Negro news
papers and magazines suffer and
manufacturers lose millions Of dol
lar in sales which they might rea-
sonably hope to gain if a little
more realistic intelligence was APP
piled to consideration of this field.
The fact that the Negro in Omaha

amounts to $25, 900, 900.
And what does the Negro buy?
He buys food and clothing, auto-
mobiles and radios, furniture and
household articles, cosmetics and
tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, and
we suspect wines, beer and liquors.
but whether he buys a Ford in
preference to a Chevrolet, or
Dodge, and whether he buys Cam

Lucky Strikes, and whether he
buys Listerine or Lavoris. should
be Of some concern, so it seems to
US, to those who seek to expand
the market for these and similar
products and should endeavor to
find the doorway to this Negro
market through the columns and
