Monster Truck
Pulls and Pushes 3
Trucks Thru Sand
Roy Gaines, well known in truck
transportation circles, has recently
received, and put into operation in
the South Texas oil fields, a 5-ton,
four-wheel drive Coleman truck.
Mr. Gaines made a special trip
to Littleton, Colorado, about a
month ago to purchase the truck,
and it was driven through to Heb-
bronville.
“This is probably the only truck
of its kind," says John Baylor, of
the Border Foundry & Machine
Company, “in Texas.”
“The trucks usually found in the
oil fields of this section”, says Mr.
Baylor, “are of three and four ton
capicity, but modern methods are
demanding heavier trucks and the
Coleman is the answer to this de-
mand.’’
“As an illustration of what thei
Coleman can do, this incident may j
be mentioned A fleet of three
trucks were hauling heavy medhin-
ery with Roy Gaines’ truck in the
center; the front truck and the rear
truck became stuck in the heavy
sand. Gaines backed up, and tied
on to the rear truck, then went for-
ward, and pushed the third truck
out of the sand. The axles of the
trucks were all plowing up sand,
but this monster truck not only
pulled itself, but pulled and pushed
the other two.”

How Ford Methods
Cut Cost
of Distribution
Lower profits in selling save yon at least
$50 to $75 in addition to the many
savings in manufacturing
f I TWENTY-SEVEN years ago the Ford Motor Company
JL was formed to provide reliable, economical trans-
portation for all the people. That original purpose
has never changed. The constant effort in every activity
is to find ways to give you greater and greater value
without extra cost —frequently at lowered cost. This
applies to distribution and similar important factors,
as well as manufacture.
For the Ford Motor Company believes that its full
duty is not only to make a good automobile at the
lowest possible price, but to see that there is no waste,
extravagance, or undue profit in any transaction from
the time the car leaves the factory until it is delivered
to your home. It is obvious that hard-won savings in
production will be of little value if they are sacrificed
later through excessive selling costs.
EVERY purchaser of a motor car has the right to know
how much of the money he pays is for the car itself
and how much is taken up by dealer charges. If these
charges are too high, one of two things must happen.
Either the price of the car must be raised or the
quality lowered. There is no other way. The money
must come from somewhere.
In the case of the Ford, the low charges for distri-
bution, celling, financing and accessories mean a direct
saving of at least $50 to $75 to every purchaser in
addition to the still greater savings made possible by
economies in manufacturing. Ford charger are not
marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in
allowance on a need car.
The profit margin on the Ford car has always
been fair to both the dealer and the public. Within the
past three months, it has been possible to effect still
further economies. Today, the discount or commis-
sion of the Ford dealer is the lowest of any automobile
dealer. The difference, ranging from 25% to nearly
50%, conies right off the price you pay for the car.
The business of the Ford dealer is good because he
makes a small profit on a large number of sales instead
of a large profit on fewer sales. He knows, too, that
the extra dollar-for-dollar value of the car mokes
it easier to sell and more certain to give satisfactory
service after purchase.
Consider also that the Ford car is delivered to the
purchaser equipped with a Triplex sliatter-proof glass
windshield, an extra steel-spoke wheel, and bright,
enduring Rustless Steel for many exterior metal
parts, in addition to four Houdaille double-acting
hydraulic shock absorbers and fully enclosed four-
wheel brakes.
If for any reason yon wish to buy certain small
accessories, you will find that these, too, are sold at
the usual Ford low prices. Replacement parts are also
available at low prices through Ford dealers in every
section of the country.
These are important points to remember in consid-
ering the purchase of a motor car. They show why it
is possible to put so much extra quality into the new
_ Ford and still maintain the low price. They are
also the reasons why more than 35% of all cart
Mifir sold today are Model A Fords.
