Dear friend, the lime may be
Long till we meet;
Till we clasp hands again
At Jesus’ feet.
Long though the time may be,
We will remember thee,
Till then, oh let it be,
Just au revoir.
Thou were a mother sweet,
Tender and true,
Guiding the little feet
To heaven and you.
Thine was a life of prayer, *
Storey thou thy treasures
where
Naught could corrupt them there
Sweet, au revoir.
Thy place no one can fill,
In church or home;
Thou han’t obeyed His will.
Lonely we roam.
Our love we can not tell,
No words our grief can spell.
We can not say "Farewell,”
But, au revoir.

Three strong reasons urge you to buy the Fgrd
car; First, because of its record of satisfactory
service to more than fifteen hundred thousand
owners; Second, because of the reliability of the
company that makes it; Third, btcaue of its large
radiator and enclosed fan, streamline hooJ, crowo
fenders front and rear, black finish, nickel trim-
mings, it is most attractive in appearance. To
these m.ust be added its wonderful economy in
operation and maintenance—about two cents a
mile; likewise the fact that by reason of its sim-
plicity in construction anyone c n operate and
care for it. Nine thousemd Ford agents make F< rd
