One Law, One School, the Nation's
Hope,” moved into line, the Knights
of Columbus and the Jewish organi-
zations moved out. When the navy
float found itself assigned to a place
immediately behind the klan float, it
also moved out of the line.''

Inside and out, the new Ford Four-
door Sedan shows improvements
of far more than usual importance.
It is lower and sturdier in appear-
ance. New cowl, hood, radiator and
apron add size and finish to the
front. Sun visor, and wide, well-
finished aluminum doors with bar
handles perfect the design of the
body.
The lasting lustre of the exterior
finish is equalled in richness by the
soft brown shades of the silk
window curtains and the deep
broadcloth upholstery.
Dome light, door locks, window
regulators and handles, all finished
in nickel, complete a refinement
you would expect only at a far
higher price
Convenience, utility and economy
have established Ford supremacy.
The Four-Door Sedan adds to
these factors greater Ford prestige.
This car can be obtained through
the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan
