THE LEXINGTON LEADER
FORD
The Universal Car
More and more the enclosed motor car
grows strong in popular favor. It's nat-
ural, especially with Ford cars, which are
busy running every day in the year—
winter and summer the Ford serves
faithfully and profitably. So for a real
genuine family car there is nothing equal
to the Ford Sedan at $695 f. o. b. Detroit.
Seats five. Large doors, plate glass slid-
ing windows, silk curtains, deeply uphol-
stered seats, latest type ventilating wind
shield—a car of refined luxury with the
everlastingly reliable Ford chassis. Come
in and know more about this superior car.

Notice
To the parents and guardians ol'
the children of Lexington and vicin-
ity.
The practice of some o£ the child-
ren to climb over and play upon the
brick stacked at the Methodist church
is a dangerous practice, as there is
j danger of them falling down and do-
ing injury to the little ones. I cannot
be on hand all the time to keep the
children off of the brick, so I hope
| you will warn your little folks of the
j danger of climbing over the bricks.—
