THE UNIVERSAL CAR That Universal Ford After-Service
The most reliable after-service which is ever behind Ford cars, trucks and Fordson tractors is positive assurance to the owners of Ford ears of the constant nse and service of their ears.
Onr skilled Ford mechanies know how to adjust or repair Ford products so that they will serve to the maximum of their efficiency. They understand the Ford mechanism thoroughly, and can make adjustments or replacements quicker than other repairmen who lack Ford training. There is a standardized way for making every repair and adjustment on a Ford ear. It is the quickest, surest way; and in all their work our mechanics follow the methods recommended by the Ford Service School at the Ford Factory. The standardized repair jobs are covered by reasonable Ford charges. Thus you are assured of having your work done properly, promptly, and at a reasonable price. Genuine Ford parts, Ford mechanics, Ford special tools and machinery and Ford charges are an unbeatable combination.
When you require service we are at your immediate command.

LAUNDRIES
The Things to Look for in Your LAUNDRY
Back in the time of "mangles" and "bleachers" you didn't ex- pect much more from your laundry than a sort of rough and ready cleaning service. But now, when washday troubles bear upon you and you seek a laundry that will give your family bundle the considerate attention it should have, you want:
Inconspicuous Marking of Clothes; Washing Without Wear; Cleansing Without Rubbing; Special Treatment for Special Ar- ticles; Sousing and Rinsing in Suds and Soft Water; Drying With- out Flapping; Ironing Without Scorching; No "Rents" or Missing Buttons; Sweet Cleanliness; Immaculate Finish; Definite Delivery; Courtesy and Moderate Prices.
These are the ideals upon which we have developed our FAMILY LAUNDRY SERVICE.
If washday worries vex your spirit, bundle your troubles in a laundry bag and send them to us.
