the state, hasn't seen such big
projects under way as the four
lane improvement west of Butte,
his home town, the huge i'm
provement on highway No. 2
south of Glacier park and the ire
mendous amount of work being
done to bring Rogers Pass high

opponent thinks these projects are
in flat, low-cost country, his
knowledge of Montana geography

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

A car, like a man, is known by its deeds,
not UordS.
That is why, we at Ford, despite our con-
idence in our 81 cars, let their deeds of
accomplishment speak for themselves.
Therefore, we engaged an independent
engineering organization to test u ST
cars more thoroughly than any other
cars have ever been tested before - in
this country or abroad.
We provided them with ST Fords-cars
identical with those now offered by Ford
Dealers. The rest we left up to them.
Here is tOhat 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 !. a distance equal

to 5 years of normal driving.
Not in all history has a man-built ma.
chine travelled so far in so short a time
by land or seal
But this was not a test of Speed-but of
endurance of the Timer Ford" A trial
to take the measure of Thunderbird Y
block V-8 power without qualification
of any kind. A test of running gear-of
brakes, of materials in body and chassis.
OF steering and reliability, yes, and
comfort, tool
A test, indeed, such as no other cars have
ever undergone, let alone successfully
concluded.
Surely they have told you, in decisive
terms, that they are Uorth more when
you buy -. and when you SELL
