“If any man would come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, arid follow me.”—Matt. 16:24.

fish wants and ..desires. No one can
truly follow Christ without having a
cross to bear. The person who spends

What
Low-price Field"?
"^"OL hear a lot about “the low-price field" these
■ri M. days. A good many cars claim to be in it.
So whenever the low-price field is mentioned,
remember: .
Until Ford came, no average American could
own a car.
Today all Ford prices are still low — with the
prices of the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 $30 to _
$60 lower than those of any other car of rom-
,, parable size. r
-v 1 r ......
But with Ford, “low price" doesn't merely
mean low figures on the price tag. It means much
more *han that. It means low prices and low
> twlii all the car's long life. Low prices for ser-
vice — for parts — and, above all, for operation.
Both Ford Y-8 engine sizes are economical to
operate. The 85 horsepower gives greater gas-
oline mileage this year than ever, and the “60"
delivers the highest mileage in Ford history.
Private owners, cab companies, fleet operators
all report that the “60" averages from 22 to 27
miles per gallop" of gasoline.
Check and see how much Ford saves you.

Ford Keeps That Field Low-priced Today
