During the past year bowling has helped to put Richmond Hill on the nation- a1 sports map and this tourna- ment should do much to enhance our sports reputation. After selling Fords for 36 years, I am convinced that our 1961 line of Falcons, Fords and Monarchs is the finest ever offered the motoring public. With such an outstanding product, I have no hesitancy in endorsing this unusual oifer, with the hope that many owners of competitive makes of cars will take this opportunity to test drive these outstanding performers.
