Anybody with a car to trade
will find it smart to see how much
his car is worth in trade on a Ford
'this year!
* In size, the Ford is the biggest
car in passenger room in its price
field. In comfort, it offers a soft
and quiet ride that’s new this year
right down to a rigid new frame
and long, soft springs.
Its hydraulic brakes are bigger
than any other car’s near its price.
Its engine is the only Eight in its
field. Its economy was proved
again this yea,r when it was first
in its class for gas mileage in
the official Gilmore-Grand Canyon
Economy Run.

man to talk trade with now!

The QAS refrigerator is the only
refrigerator that operates for as
little as two to three cents a day.
Stripped of all moving parts and operating with
the simplest method science has yet devised, the
Gas Refrigerator is basically different from all
other automatic refrigerators. A difference that
means absolute and permanent silence, longer
life and lowest operating cost. It is this differ-
ence which is Causing more and more people to
replace worn-out or inefficient refrigerators
with the beautiful new gas refrigerator. See this
marvel of the refrigeration world. New models
are packed with convenience features and have
greater capacity.
