"And one of the most appealing features of the Plan is that
it is adaptable to the means of practically every one. The week-
ly payments which are deposited to the credit of the customer
in the bank and draw interest at the regular saving rate, may
be fixed to suit the desires of each purchaser. What could be
easier than that?"

The Ford Weekly Purchase Plan is going to be a boon for
many families and permit them to buy a car much quicker than
they ever dreamed. Red Tudor local Ford dealer said today in
discussing the new plan which is creating such widespreead com-
ment and which is being enthusiastically received everywhere.
“In my experience as a Ford dealer, and I believe it is true
with every other dealer and salesman as well, I have met many
people who expressed their desire to own a Ford,and who frank-
ly told me that somehow they never could get together enough
money to make the initial payment on one.
The result was, of course, that they went on wanting a car
and hoping that some day something would turn up whereby

be known as the A. B. Cook & Son’s Cash Store. Positively no
credit will be granted to anyone. Our object in making this
change is to save you money, and a store can only do that by
eliminating every possible expense, such as book-keeping, bad
accounts, and the collection of accounts. The prices quoted here
are not prices made for a few days, but will be - the price right
along every day (except extra specials) and is only a typical il-
lustration of how it WILL PAY YOU TO TRADE HERE AND

“Right here in our own city it will be more than welcome.
Take the family where, say, the father is not the only wage earn-
er. but a here a son or perhaps a daughter or two or at Work.
The family never has enjoyed a car. yet every member, times .
without number, have expressed a desire to own one.
“Under the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan here is no reason at
all why such a family should not soon own a Ford car. If each
member contributes just a little of his or her earnings each week
it will hardly seem any time at all before the whole family will
be enjoying a car.
“What is true of the family is true also of the individual who
wants a car.

his holdings in Red River county for
