appearance of the new

wouid naturally expect a
proportionate advance in
price.
creasing its cost to the
purchaser.
Larger scale production,
however, has made it pos-
sible to incorporate in this
new type touring car a
number ol decided im-
provements without in-
A comparison extending
over a long period of years
will reveal the fact that
the present price is actu-
ally the lowest at which
the five-passenger open

The Ford Touring Car
stands today, as it always
has, a most remarkable
value in the motor car field.

Not Like a
Sack of Flour
You drop into the grocery store and ask for a sack
of flour. “I have a truck load on the way,” saya
the grocer, “and will send it over in a couple of
hours.”
That is perfectly satisfactory.
You press the button. Suppose the Deport
Power Company would tell you that they were out
of it just now but would send over a package of
light in a couple of hours.
The difference is that the Deport Power Com-
pany sells service and not commodity. It must be
ready to serve its customers when they want the
service. It is as reasonable for an electric power
company to be expected to be ready to serve any
minute of the day as it is reasonable for the dealer
in staple commodities to take two hours to make
a delivery.
But this is a factor in the electric service that
many users have not considered when they ap-
praise the service.
