AN OPEN LETTER
After carefully considering tlie prin-
cipal problems and needs of the Cit-
izens of 'San Patricio county, and
consulting with a number of friends,-
I have decided to offer myself as a
candidate for the nomination as
County Judge of San Patricio county,.
Texas, at the Democratic Primaries,
to be held on the 26th day of July.
In the opinion of myself and those
with whom I have discussed the mat-
ter. two of the very important prob-
lems ever present before the commis-
sioners court is the road building pro-
people of Sinton have received One
Dollars worth of street for each dol-
lar spent.
I have lived in San Patricio county
for 21 years and have been engaged
actively in the Real Estate business,
as well as being owner of land and
city property. I believe I know the
vaiue of lands and property in all
parts of this county, and I believe
that my knowledge of real estate
values will permit me to be of great
'assistance to the Commissioner’s Court
when sitting as a board of equaliza-
tion.
I have had experience as a mer-
chant and feel that I know something
of his problems and am now, and have
ficial to the people of this county.

Besides, the Commissioner’s Court has
available the advice of the County, ,,
gram in this County, and the equali-
zation of taxation. In these matters, been for the greater part of my life,
I feel that I can render a valuable ser- j actively engaged in cotton farming,
vic-e to the commissioner’s court and i It is true that I am not a lawyer,
the people of San Patricio county. 1 i but a farmer, and also engaged in the

way was constructed. I have bad I lawyer, in fact, a great number of
four years service as mayor of Sin- j counties in Texas do not have lawyers
ton, during which time, the present [for their County Judges. The County
street‘ and bridge work of that City business is conducted by the Commis-
has been completed. Investigation ; sioner’s Court, and I believe, a bus-
will bear out the statement that the) inetss administration would be bene-
Attorney, for which the County has
always paid as an ex-officio salary.
In the trial of cases, after the at-
torneys on each side h-ave presented
their opinions as to the law of the"
case, I think good sound reasoning
will enable me to decide which one
is correct.
If elected, I shall always be avail-
able for this discharge of the business
of the office,a nd shall to the very
best of my ability, discharge those j
j duties justly and fairly, and I hope]
for your support in the. campaign, and !
if elected, your co-ooeration while in]
office. .j
My platform is and shall be a bus-

a dollar’s worth of service

Lower profits in setting save you at least

f¥l W ENTY-SE YEN years ago the Ford Motor Company
JL was formed to provide reliable, economical trans-
portation for all tlie people. That original purpose
has never changed. The constant effort in every activity
is to find ways to give yon greater and greater value
without extra cost—frequently at lowered cost. This
applies t© distribution and similar important factors,
as well as manufacture.
For the Ford Motor Company believes that its full
duty is not only to make a good automobile at the
lowest possible price, but to see that there is no waste,
extravagance, or undue profit in any transaction from
the time the car leaves the factory until it is delivered
to your home. It is obvious that hard-won savings in
production will be of little value if they are sacrificed
later through excessive selling costs.
been fair to, both the dealer and the public. Within the
past three months, it has been possible to effect still
further economies. Today, the discount or commis-
sion of the Ford dealer is the lowest of any automobile
dealer. Tlie difference, ranging from 25% to nearly
50%, comes right off the price you pay for the car.
EVERY purchaser of a motor car has the right to know
how much of the money he pays is for the car itself
and how much is taken up by dealer charges. If these
charges are too high, one of two things must happen.
Either the price of the car must be raised or the
quality lowered. There is no other way. The money
must come from somewhere.
In the case of the Ford, the low charges for distri-
bution, selling, financing and accessories mean a direct
saving of at least $50 to $75 to every purchaser in
addition to the still greater savings made possible by
economies in manufacturing. Ford charges are not
marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in
allowance oil a used car.
The profit margin on the Ford car has always
The business of the Ford dealer is good because he
makes a small profit on a large number of sales instead
of a large profit on fewer sales. He knows, too, that
the extra clollar-for-dollar value of the car makes
it easier to sell and more certain to give satisfactory
service after purchase.
Consider also that the Ford car is delivered to the
purchaser equipped with a Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield, an extra steel-spoke wheel, and bright,
enduring Rustless Steel for many exterior metal
parts, in addition to four Houdaille double-acting
hydraulic shock absorbers and fully enclosed four-
wheel brakes.
If for any reason you wish to buy certain small
accessories, you will find that these, too, are sold at
the usual Ford low prices. Replacement parts are also
available at low prices through Ford dealers in every
section of the country.
THESE are important points to remember in consid-
ering the purchase of a motor car. They show why it
is possible to put so much extra quality into the new
_ Ford and still maintain the low price. They are
also the reasons why more than 35% of all cars
sold today are Model A Fords.
