President H oover, seated in his study
at the W hite House in W ashington,
recently addressed the 1,200 guests at
the annual dinner o f the National
A utom obile Chamber o f Commerce
held in the H otel Commodore, New
York City, over the long distance tele­
phone. He spoke fo r nearly three and
a half minutes, his speech containing
about 450 words.
A fter reviewing briefly the progress
o f the autom otive industry with the
attendant increase in the mileage of
good roads and the consum ption of
m otor fuels, the President said: “ This
certainly means that we have been
cheerful in the use o f our autom obiles:
I d o not assume they are being used
fo r transportation to the poorhouse.
Altogether, the future for the industry
does not warrant any despondency.”
T he telephone connection between
the capital and New York was similar
to that em ployed for connecting radio
stations together for the purposes of
chain broadcasting. President Hoover
began his address a few seconds after
9:40 and ended at nearly 9:44 with the
wish that his audience might enjoy a
prosperous new year. His v oice was
clearly heard by all the dinner guests
through a public address system .

Good Performance
at how Cost
Y ou save when you buy the Ford and you save every mile
yon drive. During the life of the car the saving on the cost of
operation and up-keep w ill amount to considerably more than
the saving on the first cost.
Don’ t keep paying for repairs on your old car when you
can bay a new Ford at such a low price. We’ ll give you a
good trade-in allowance and deliver the Ford for a small down
payment.
