BULL MOOSE DEFIES
SEASON AND HUNTERS
With each telling, the brave
bull moose who wandered thro
ugh town last Saturday becomes
larger, but judging from his
tracks he was, as the hunters say,
a “dandy”. Fish and Wildlife of
ficials had apparently forgotten
to tell the moose that the second
season opened early this year,
for the bull, with a wrack esti
mated between 60 and 65 inches,
wandered in the open spaces
around Ketchikan Spruce Mill
yards, Central School, the Co-Op
area, through the Walker street
section he had attracted consid
erable attention and apparently
thought it about time to get out
of town, and putting on a little
steam he defiantly trotted out of
range.

The new Ford Fair lane 500
with that Sculptured Look and Thunderbird "Go"
The new Ford Cuitom 300
From a proved-in-aclion "Inner Ford” stems a
whole car that's built to stay young for years
The moment you see this new kind of Ford,
you’ll know you’re seeing something that’s com
pletely new—completely different.
Ford’s road-hugging ’57 models are as much
as four inches lower—up to nine inches longer.
And there’s a choice of two big-car sizes: the big
Custom and Custom 300’s—over 16 feet iong,
and the even bigger Fairlane and Fairlane 500’s
—over 17 feet long.
The longer, lower lines that give you that
“sculptured look," the power of its Thunder
bird V-8 . . . these are just the beginnings of the
story of the ’57 Ford. Underneath there’s a
built-to-last “Inner Ford" with features that
are a challenge to even the high-prlccd cars.
You ride on a new wide-base frame which
flares out a foot wider. You’ll find you sit lower
down, with even more room and comfort. And
entering is easier than ever with the new wide
swinging doors.
And as for handling! You’ll find light-as-air
steering, and cornering comfort like you’ve
never had before. The ’57 Ford “flattens out”
the roughest roads—as well as the steepest hills
. . . makes driving more fun for you!
There are new Silver Anniversary V-8
engines with a wide range of horsepower to suit
every need.* Or you may choose the great, new
Mileage Maker Six.

Ford now.
