Mercury SETS new marks in production ond soIes
now offers you bigger selections better
deol- and top frode-in value for the future!

Figure it any way you want to. Real
car value begins and ends with smart
style. That's why people buy Mercury
ne,O-and why more and more people
want used Mercurys, too. And when
you back great style with still greater
performance, it means you've got the
car you want now-and the car most
used car buyers will go for later.
One look tells you why. Take
fresh long look at Mercury's lines of
tomorrow. You'll see the smooth, crisp
design that sets it apart from other
cars-way out in front of them all.
Take q demonstration drive and
you'll learn more. You'll learn
about Mercury's matchless perform.

ance-with its proven va engine, most
advanced in Mercury's exclusively V-8
history. You'll learn about Mercury's
easy handling (be sure to try a
Mercury with optional power steering,
power brakes, the Away power seat,
and Merc.O.Matic Drive).
Take five minutes TO get the
story on the bargain! When
through looking and testing, you'll get
big surprise. That old car of yours is
probably worth a lot more than you
figured. And we'll show you how
Mercury's high future trade-in value
brings your true car cost down even
lower. It's by far the biggest bargain
your budget can find!

TRUMAN FORESEES PROSPERITY FOR So GU1lP LATER

Truman gave these comparative
figures:
National output now is 345 billion
dollars annually, as against 172
billions in 1929, measured in dol
lars of 1852 buying power. Indus
trial output has doubled and farm
production risen about so per cent.
In the same period the work week
has dropped from 4S to 20 hours.
but the output of each worker has
risen so per cent. Average annual
income after taxes was 81 900 a
person in 1929 and last year aver
aged $500, again measured in
1852 prices.
Truman emphasized the protec-
tons against economic collapse
which have been developed in the
period--a ''fairer" distribution Of
income, social security, farm price
supports, ''far more Shock-proof
system of banks and securities ex-
changes, firmer wage rates due
mainly to stronger unions. and
more enlightened business prac-
tees" in pricing, marketing and
collective bargaining.
