ON ARMY DAY, APRIL 7th, ASK YOURSELF:
“WHAT AM I DOING
FOR PERMANENT PEACE?
What will you do for your
country? You can take a full-time
job at good pay in the Regular
Army. Or, you can join other
young men in your community in
your local National Guard unit.
If you are in college, you can get
your training and Reserve Officer
commission in the R.O.T.C. Or,
if you have served in the Army,
you can resume your military
training and have your former
grade or rank in the Organized
Reserve Corps.
• If you believe in America, you’ll
believe in your new Regular Army
U. S. Army
and its civilian components. You’ll
feel a certain tingle of pride—to
know that others depend so much
upon you, and envy you the in-
spiring fellowship you enjoy.
• In the Regular Army you can
have excellent training in valuable
skills or trades. All your necessary
expenses are cared for. You get
travel, adventure. And after 20
years you can retire at half pay
for the rest of your life and on
up to three-quarters pay after 30
years of service! Get full details
about all the advantages of Regu-
lar Army enlistment at your U. S.
Army Recruiting Station.

FORD PRICE
AGAIN CUT
Dearborn, Mich.—A $20 cut in
the price of the Ford deluxe six-
cylinder, three-passenger business
coupe, and its reinstatement in the
Ford line, was announced today by
J. R. Davis, Ford Motor Company
vice-president and director of sales
and advertising.
Mr. Davis said: “This price cut,
together with reductions announced
January 15 on other models, gives
Ford the lowest priced coupe and
tudor sedan in its field. This is in
keeping . with Ford’s traditional
policy of providing more and bet-
ter cars at the lowest possible cost
to the buyer.”
Mr. Davis revealed that orders
for new Ford cars during 1946
surpassed all industry records.
“In fact,” he said, “the Ford Mo-
tor Company sold more cars and
trucks during 1946 than in any
previous year since the Model A.
Based upon retail orders (sales)—
a true criterion of product popular
Sty—Ford dealers sold more ve-
hicles during 1946 than any other
in its price field. Inability to
achieve full-scale production, due
to material shortages, alone cur-
tailed deliveries. Ford shutdowns
during the year as a result of these
conditions amounted to about two
and one-half months production
loss.”
Retail orders in the hands of
Ford dealers today exceed a mil-
lion and a-half, and this is 62 per
cent more than were on the books
of Ford dealers a year ago. Mr.
Dqvis believes that not more than
20 per cent of these orders are
duplications.
“Although steel and some oth-
er materials are still scarce,
production of 1947 models is pro-
ceeding at a credible rate of ap-
proximately 4,000 daily,” Mr. Da-
vis said.
“A number of exterior and in-
terior styling changes, including 10
new colors, are incorporated in to-
day’s Ford passenger cars now be-
ing shipped to dealers. This is in
keeping with our previously an-
nounced policy of introducing run-
ning changer in current models
whenever we can do so without in-
terfering with badly needed pro-
duction.
“These new spring-model cars
will soon be displayed by Ford
dealers throughout the country.”
Other changes include relocation

d/orcC
The Ford Motor Company has just
announced that the Ford three-win-
dow, six-cylinder business coupe is
back in production at a price twenty
dollars below that which prevailed
when this model was temporarily dis-
continued last fall.
This reduction, plus those announc-
ed last January 15th, makes the Ford
business coupe and the two-door se-
dan the lowest priced cars in their
field.
We Ford Dealers are proud to be
part of the organization that pioneer-
ed and is continuing such a clear, real-
istic and progressive policy.
We consider this newest Ford price
reduction still further proof that the
Ford Motor Company leads in offer-
ing the American Public the most
value at the lowest possible price.
And we feel certain that it will play
a definite part in speeding the return
of sound and sensible prices, and a
secure future for consumer, seller and
producer alike.

substance. He says his stomach,
intestines, bowels and whole sys-
tem were so thoroughly cleansed
that his constant headaches came
to an end, several pimply skin
eruptions on his face dried up over-
night, and even the rheumatic pains
in his knee disappeared. At pres-
ent he is an altogether different
man, feeling fine in every way.

Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable people
