cause that in our demand for a million and a quarter Ford cars this
year fully 50 per cent of that demand is for the Touring Car. Surely

ever-dependable and universal “Ford After-Service.” Here we,are

ment, to give service to Ford cars instantly, so that your car is never

body of intermixed boulders,

aine, which is now the “back-
bone” of the island. The ice
moved southward across the
area that is now occupied by
Long Island Sound and
brought these materials from
the north, dropping thAn at its
melting edge. This method of
deposition developed a very
peculiar topography, consist-,

of ' hummocks and hollbws,
which have produced the ma-
ny beautiful details of config-

parts of Long Island so at-

the one hiding the picturesque

the character and the relations
of the various deposits and by
the diversities of configuration.
