that the appearance of Ford Car
leaves very little to be desired. 1t is
at home" wherever it goes and it
goes everywhere.
But tohat about Ford quality?
Does it too match the fine carr Is the
sheet metal of the body panels as
thick? Is the finish as goodp How
about the trim and things like thatp
Well, as far as we can determine, the
sheet metal is identical in thickness
in practically all instances. AS to
finish we believe Ford's bdked-on
enamel has no equal in any car. Ford
upholstery fabrics and trim are less
costly, but they're less delicate, too,
and if anything, more durable.
Hoto then is it possible to gioe you
this fine car at half the fine car price2
Part of the answer lies in Ford
manufacturing slills and knowledge
as evidenced by the V-8 engine. Part
of II comes from the ever increasing
numbers of cars Ford produces and
the economies they make possible.
And, part of it comes from Ford's
willingness to give greater values
than might be expected in cars sell
ing in Ford's price range. And that's
the Ford idea.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1953-10-01

gives you exactly the amount of
power you want, when you want it
automatically.
Fine car potoer steering, too, The
big, heavy costly cars offer it for the
same reason they offer power brakes.
It's man-sized job for 100 pound
woman to handle car weighing two
tons or more without it-especially
when parking. Our Master Guide"
has two distinct benefits.
First, it gives hydraulic power
assist right down at the wheels and
Just enough to take out the toork. You
don't relinquish one particle Of con-
trol-rather your control is more COM
plete and far easier.
Second, being hydraulic, Master
Guide" power steering absorbs those
fatiguing steering wheel tremors
caused by ruts and roads in bad
repair. And you don't pay a fine car
price for Master Guide"
But there is another fine car fea-
ture--the Ford ride. Books have
been written on the subject of riding
quality in an automobile, but the
payof comes on the pavement = or
lack OF I'll Many people associate
comfortable ride with excess weight,
but it's not weight alone that makes
tor comfort. If it were, those big fve-
ton trucks which you see every day
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1953-10-01

would be the most comfortable We
hicles on the road.
Without being technical We can
tell you that what's been dope with
the suspension and springina system
gives the Ford a softer ride, a
smoother ride than many cars which
tip the scales at better than an added
half ton. II
What about room? Here's an inter-
esting point. IF you've felt that only
costly car offered enough room, you
just ought to sit down in Ford even
if you're out-size and six feet fourl
The so-called big car is bigger on the
outside, but unless you buy limou-
sine with those little Jump seats, it's
not one passenger bigger inside.
Visibility is another fine car Ford
feature. We say Ford cars offer full
circle" visibility because they all have
huge, curved one-piece windshields
and huge rear window to match :.
pIuS side windows that mean every
passenger gets room with viewl
Hoso beautiful is a Ford? A great
English poet, John Keats, once wrote
Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty
well, he could have been writing
about our car for its beauty comes
from honest, clean lines In every
dimension. In fact, we think most
people agree-even our competitors

World Day OF Prayer

Friday, February goth, has been
designated as World Day of Pray
er. walk AS Children of Light"
will be the theme for this annual
service, observed this year for the
seth time. Millions of women in our
own country and countless others
throughout the world will join in
united prayer on this date. 1t Ori-
ginated because women for CEN
turies have prayer individually and
in groups for a better world. This
regular annual observance began
in 1887. The response was so great
that a day was set apart and even
tually the first Friday in Lent was
chosen. Today, ia countries re-
ceiye and use the World Day of
Prayer program. There has been
uninterrupted growth since its in
ception. There are approximately
1900 observances in the United
States alone. Prayer girdles the
globe beginning in New Zealand
and the Fiji Islands and continu-
ing through the twenty-four hours
ends in Alaska and on the Tonga

about finance, or anything that
pertains to big business, my
comprehension of that article
tells me that these boys have
succeeded and are still going
on to greater things. Two Of

one in Camden, are maintained
and a staff of more than thirty
two assistants are required to
administer the business of The
Nutter Mortgage Service. There
are those who will remember
these boys who went to our
schools, doing odd jobs with a
will: their schooling, much on
their own; and now that sue
cess is theirs, will be happy
for it and wish them continued
success. They are fine ex-

new medium, as they were
brought to us in our living

midnight last night, it was all
so wonderful. The crowds, the
ceremonies, the parade, and
the inaugural balls, as sue

out visible hitch, just as if
