"Do you know what that thing was he used to pull you out with?"
     "No, sir."
     "Well," said the owner, "better see if we can't overtake him.  We ought to have one of those things to put in our tool box."

WASN'T WORTH IT

     The rumor had widely spread that if a person would present at the Ford factory four dimes with the mint marks that would spell the word F-O-R-D, they would receive a Ford car free.  One man had the good luck to find the four dimes which spelled the word "Ford" and he started for the factory for his car.
     He inquired for Mr. Ford and handed him the four dimes.  When Mr. Ford saw that he had found the four that spelled F-O-R-D, he told the man to go in and take his pick.  The man went into the factory and was gone for a considerable length of time.  After a while he returned and said to Mr. Ford, "I couldn't find anything that suited me so I came back after the forty cents."

     A sparrow was run over by a Ford one day.  Its revenge came with its dying breath as it feebly called, "Cheap, cheap."
