creates an entirely new standard of
modern motoring economy!
The “60” engine, available in five
body types, is built in exactly the same
body size and wheelbase — to the same
advanced design — with the same com-
fort and convenience as the “85.” And
it delivers V-8 smoothness at speeds up
to 70 miles an hour.
Two engine sizes—but only one car
and one purpose—to give you more
miles and more satisfaction for
yjsfeO your money in 1937.

the tenant may become more closely
attached to a specific piece of land,
in the care and improvement of which
he will take a personal interest. An-
other step, which has been taken in
Texas for more than 32,000 tenants,
is to assist them in purchase of teams
and tools, thus removing them from
the class of sharecroppers dependent
upon their landlord for “furnishing.”
Only the highest type of tenants are
now being selected for purchase of
farms, the supervisor said. Fifty have
been nominated for the whole state,
out of 588 to be provided with farms
under the year’s allocations, “These
fifty nominees have been located on
their present farms an average of six
years, as compared with the fact that
less than half of Texas’ tenant farm-
ers have been on their present farm
more than one year,” he said. “These
nominees have average net assets of
$1,421, mostly in teams and tools.
Their aver age is 40 years, and the
average family includes two or three
children.

The addition of a new 60-borsepower
engine to the Ford line for 1937 brings
you a new, low price and gives you a
choice of two V-type 8-cylinder en-
gines. 85 horsepower for maximum
performance. 60 horsepower for maxi-
mum economy.
The 60,horseppwer V-8 engine was
originally developed for use in Eng-
land and France, where fuel costs are
high. It has been proven there for two
years with brilliant success.

EDITORIAL
The Christmas season swung into
full speed ahead this week and Wed-
nesday saw the streets more crowded
than they have been in many weeks.
The stores were full of eager shop-
pers, and according to many mer-
chants, these shoppers were spending
money. The buying season hete was
slow in getting started, but the local
men expect the next week to be the
best in the history of the town.
In another part of this paper will
be found a list of local businesses
that are paying their employees a
bonus this year. All over the country
such stories are being published, and
it shows the growing optimism all
over the country.
Silsbee’s future seems especially
bright since the successful bringing in
of the Brooks No. 3 oilwell north of
town. A building boom is indicated
for the next fdw months, and our
little city will move up a step in the
forward progress it has shown lately.
With such a bright future staring
us in the face, the thing to do is to
look to a better community. It seems
that the time is ripe to incorporate the
town, get rid of the live stock, and
see that the town is more sanitary,
and better looking. The opportunity
to do something in a civic way is ripe.

i ownership is the final goal of Re-
settlement work, but that there are
286,000 tenant farmers in Texas alone
and providing land for these is a pro-
gram of many years.
The most ambitious plan yet sug-
gested would appropriate fifty mil-
lion dollars of federal funds each
year, the supervisor said, and Texas’
share would be only around one
thousand farms a year. In the mean-
while, he said, we must help the oth-
er low-income tenant farmers to im-
prove their present status.
Means of improving the tenant’s
situation, the supervisor said, include
Mrs. J. T. Trotti plans to leave the

son and family, Mr. and Mrs. W. Z.
