New Ford Ranchero! More than a car, more than
a truck—it's a completely new kind of vehicle.
Carries work-horse loads — more than half a ton
other dollars you spend. And they work
miracles that Washington never dreamed
of—automatic cooking, automatic dish-
washing, automatic air conditioning, to
name a few.
If he were alive today, George would
think twice before he threw away a
dollar that could do that kind of work!
But young George’s dollar wasn’t in
the same class with the dollars you
spend for electric service.
