An announcement of decisive importance to anyone about to buy a new automobile

A car, like man, is known by its deeds, not tDordS.
 That is why, we at Ford, despite our con fidence in our '57 cars, let their deeds of accomplishment speak for themselves. Therefore, we engaged an independent engineering organization to test our 57 cars more thoroughly than any other cars have ever been tested before = in this country or abroad.
 We provided them with '57 Fords-cars identical with those now offered by Ford Dealers. The rest we left up to them. Here is tDhdt they did:
 They took these cars to the Salt Flats at Bonneville, Utah.
 Here, twelve of the worlds greatest drivers took over.
 In relays they drove these cars night and day for a distance greater than twice around the world i. a distance equal

The most exhaustive endurance test ever given an automobile has just been completed by two stock '57 Fords-identical in every respect with cars now being offered by Ford Dealers.
 Under the supervision of the United States Auto Club and the Fedora ton Internationale de Automobile, each of these two '57 Fords travelled 5O,00O miles in less than 20 days. Ford No. l averaged 10S.l6 mph for the entire run. Ford No. 2, over l07 mph. These averages include time for all pit stops.
 In all, the '57 Ford smashed 45S national and international records. This test was run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah :. .. it was the longest left turn in history.

Mr.. Neff said that several
weeks later he telephoned Mr.,
Goodwin, but the latter told
him he had not been able to see

Asked by Mr.. Steadman why
he was interested only in Sen

not Senator Martin, Republican
of Iowa, Mr.. Neff replied that
he had seen a newspaper story
listing both Senators Hicken-

Asked by Mr.. Steadman if he
was sure no contribution was Of

The Senators have received
only five complete games from
their pitching staff in their last

walked only two, allowed -four
hits and struck out seven, was
his second of the year over the

two games off the pace and in a

overnight.
BOudreau Recants
Almost every rival manager
considered the Yankees a shoo-in
a week or so ago, but now every
one is changing his tune. Lou
Boudreau, who saw his AS cap

to recant.
"I'll concede the Yanks are
still the team to beat, but they
are not going to make any run

Their pitching hasn't been i'm
