Finally, Something
Goes Down In City
Maybe the Kodiak Telephone
Company and its manager, Gor
die Jensen, has started a trend.
At least we hope so, as something
in Kodiak is going down price
wise.
The telephone company re
quested the City Council at its
last meeting to reduce the price
of extension telephones in Ko
diak. The reduction will be from
$4 to $3 for business firms and
from $3 to $2 for residences. Ef
fective date of the reduction is
Jan. 1, 1963.

In the open test that tears'em apart...the Daytona 500
1
Daytona is no "private" test arranged by a manufacturer to favor his car's strong
points. It is open competition — anyone can enter—and the one thing that is
proved by its searing 500 miles is just exactly how well a car hangs together. At
Daytona, Florida, on February 24, five brand-new 1963^2 Fords showed the world
what durability means by sweeping the first five places. And that has never been
equaled in Daytona history!
The box score at the left tells the true
story...car endurance that takes brutal
punishment and comes back for more.
No proving ground can equal this
kind of torture. Daytona was a chal
lenge we welcomed, a chance to
prove in open competition the essen
tial durability that makes possible the
silence, the solid road-grip, the ease of
control, the balanced braking . . . and
all the other things that go into Ford's
concept of total performance.
These were the same '63'A Super
Torque Fords that made styling history
at their preview at Monaco, and
which were recently announced at
your Ford Dealer's. They're yours now;
get behind the wheel and find out for
yourself what total performance means!
