ROOMY TRUNK is one suitcase bigger
. . . bigger than any other luggage
compartment in Ford’s field . . .
bigger than you’ll find in many of the
expensive cars. With Ford’s Center-
Fill Fueling, there’s no long gas-fill
pipe to eat up your trunk space.
SUSPENDED PEDALS make braking
and clutching easier . . . allow more
clear floor space . . . eliminate dusty,
drafty floor holes. This feature, ex-
clusive to Ford in its field, permits
dash-mounting of brake master cyl-
inder for easy accessibility.
V-8 POWER is yours in Ford—but
not in other low-priced cars. It’s the
product of Ford’s experience in build-
ing over 13,000,000 V-8’s! Ford’s
high-compression, low-friction Mile-
age Maker Six with Overdrive, is
the Economy Sweepetakes winner.
MR. ELLIS ASSOCIATED

C. B. Ellis arrived from Dublin
Monday to accept a position as
salesman with the Terrill Motor
Co. Mr. Ellis is a graduate of
Dublin High School where he
participated in athletics. He is

Wide front tread, diagonally-mounted
shock absorbers take tilt out of turns.
