just as faithfully and economically as does the
Ford Touring Car serve all the people faithfully
and economically. The Ford Truck is a neces-
sity to the grocer both in delivering goods and
in bringing goods from the stations, decks and
from the country. Jt is an ideal motor car
because there isn’t a want of the fanner or
business man that it doesn’t supply in the way
of quick transportation at a minimum expense.
Come in, examine the Truck, and let us talk t

Mr. Carey Smith, 1
Tribune, Bay City, Texas, i
Dear Sir: 1
Kindly announce through your
patter my candidacy for the office of 1
county attorney, subject to the action 1
of the W M. r. primaries, Saturday, '
April 1, 1922. 1
I believe it i customary for you
to make complimentary remarks
about the candidate I appreciate
this and would like for you to men-
tion the fact that I have been serv-
ing tile people of the county in vari-
ous capacities for some time and that
1 have nt all times been taking care
of their interests. Most every one
knows me, knows whether I know
them, knows whether my service has
bi'>n a satisfactory service, ami know
that I have gained an experience that
would result to their benefit in a fi-
nancial way.
The office of county attorney Is an
important one, in this, that lie Is the
legal advisor of the Commissioners’
Court, which court handles the fi-
nances of the county—In which all
taxpayers are Interested.
1 wish to thank the voters, men and
women, for their consideration in the
past and assure them 1 shall be
pleased to render a service in the fu-
ture wherein each one will feel that
I am working for every individual in
the county, as in the past.
Yours truly, ’
John F. Perry.
