who was in Meridian last Fri-
day working in the interest of this
year’s camp, which will be held at

ered attending the cmaps this year

ing in popularity, and in years past

Protect Your
Investment
in Your
Model T Ford
THE Ford Motor Company is making a new car, but it is
still proud of the Model T. It wants every owner of one
of these cars to run it as long as possible at a minimum
of expense.
Because of this policy and because of the investment
that millions of motorists have in Model T cars, the Ford
Motor Company will continue to make parts until, as
Henry Ford himself says, “the last Model T is off the road.”
More than eight million Model T Fords are still in active
service, and many of them can be driven for two, three
and five years and even longer.
So that you may get the greatest use over the longest
period of time at the lowest cost, we suggest that you take
your Model T Ford to the nearest Ford dealer and have
him give you an estimate on the cost of any replacement
parts that may be necessary.
You will find this the economical thing to do because a
small expenditure may enable you to maintain or increase
the value of the car and give you thousands of miles of
additional service.
No matter where you live you can get these Ford parts
at the same low prices as formerly and know they are made
in the same way and of the same materials as those from
which your car was originally assembled.
Labor cost is reasonable and a standard rate is charged
for each operation so that you may know in advance
exactly how much the complete job will cost.
