DO SEWARD GIRLS MAKE GOOD TRUCK DUIKERS?
The automobile industry is having a lively
year. All the new 1954 models have been on the
road for several months now, and everybody has
had a pretty good chance to see what they’re like.
All the big towns have had Auto Shows. Some
towns have had two! Lavish amounts have been
spent to impress Mr. and Mrs. American Driver
with the splendor and glamour of the "all-new”
’54 models.
But amidst all the floodlights and fanfare, has
anybody considered the plight of our women
folk! Some of our local gals are getting pretty
fed up with the "bulk and bulge” trend in auto
design. They are beginning to say things like this:
A. The garage now has to be slightly larger than the
house, else the car won't fit in.
B. Dents and scratches are an every-day occurrence
—as traffic gets heavier and cars get bigger.
C. It was hard enough to find one parking place down
town. Now you have to find two!
D. You can’t enjoy driving anymore, because you feel
like you’re piloting the ’’Queen Mary.”
But don’t despair gals, we have a perfect solu
tion for you. It’s the 1954 Mercury! Seventeen feet
of the most responsive and functional transpor
tation ever put on wheels. Official registration
figures show that huge public acceptance has
greeted Mercury’s "Reasonable” approach to auto
design... giving Mercury owners better re-sale
values! In fact, Mercury is America’s fastest
growing car!
Free-flowing lines spell the difference! A look—
and a feel of solid, rugged, compactness about
the whole car! A feeling of control. And a com
bination of brilliant performance and sparkling
styling that you can’t buy anywhere else!
This is the car for you gals! Just ask the men!
