FORD CARS.

A MATTER OF TRUE ECONOMY Owners would replace their “general utility” team with a powerful, sturdy Ford car at once, we believe, if you figured the matter out carefully. The Ford is especially suited to Taihape conditions and your needs. It is equal to any rough roads, by-roads, and long distances. These are the very test to which you will put your car. A Ford will run your errands, and countless other necessities quick and cheaply'. It will save you -weeks of time and money. It will be one of your best investments. It will make country life more, enjoyable. You need a ear and. need, it badly. The Ford is the utility car for New Zealand farmers. It been; estimated that five acres of land are required to maintain one horse'for a year, and that the same five acres would produce nearly enough food for two people. If 50,000 New Zealand farmers each replaced one horse with a Ford car, 250,000 would be added to the country’s source of food supply,, and enough extra food made available to feed 100,000 people. Just think what a great service this means to the country at the present time and the benefit to the farmers from, the sale of food produced on this acreage. A Ford ear also saves the farmer a week or more of available time each yeary which can be used for further production with. The Ford travels three times as fast as a horse and gig, costs less to run and keep, and is far easier to take care of. With labour so scarce and high much time means money, so do not delay in getting your Ford. Messrs Edlin and Etevenoaux, sole Ford dealers for this district, can supply you with the latest 1918models.
