*'U" CAUSES TYPING TROUBLE
NEW YORK, UP)—1The letter “u”
and the word “conclusion” cause
the most errors to commercial
users of typewriters, say the deans
of a chain of business schools
(Speed-writing Institute).
The deans think “u” may be
- • troublesome because it is located
in the center section of the key
board near many other letters fre
quently used in English.

MILEAGE MAKER “6” WINS SWEEPSTAKES!
Scoring a blazing victory for Ford’s dollar-saving gas economy! Ford’s
high-compression Mileage Maker “6” with Overdrive beat every car
entered in this year’s Mobilgas Economy Run, regardless of size or
weight, to sweep the sweepstakes! Ford’s winning average was 56.70
ton-miles per gallon.* And Ford’s high-compression 110-h.p. Strato-Star
V-8 with Overdrive was right up there in economy, too, with a record
of 48.55 ton-miles per gallon!
The winning Ford was a regular production car, just like thousands
of other ’53 Fords you see on the road today. This 1,206-mile trip from
Los Angeles to Sun Valley covered all types of driving conditions. The
route threaded through city traffic, where stop-and-go driving tests an
engine’s fuel economy under the toughest conditions... and out along
> the highways of four western states.
The Ford Mileage Maker “6” took all this in stride, maintaining
a speed above the required 44.25 m.p.h. minimum, to finish 1st in the
sweepstakes! What better proof is there that Ford is the thriftiest car
, of all? What better way to show why Ford is worth more when you
buy it... worth more when you sell it!

Ford is the first car in its weight class... in the his
tory of this nationally recognized economy test
... to win top honors in ton-miles per gallon regard
less of size and weight. This is a tribute to Ford’s
modern engineering... dollar-saving gas economy.
The AAA Contest Board determines the winner by a "ton-mile per gallon" formula to insure equal chance for at
cars in each class regardless of size and weight. Ton-miles per gallon equals the car weight (including passengers)
in tons, multiplied by number of miles traveled, divided by number of gallons of gasoline consumed.
