We'·re Proud To Be On·

THIS TEAM!

The Ford Motor Company has

just announced that the Ford

three-window, six-cylinder busi­

ness coupe is back in produc­

tion at a price twenty ddll4rs below that which pre11iUled when this model was lempo­raril y discontimml last /all.

This reduction, plus those 111111.ounced . last fanrtary 15th, mafces> the Ford business coupe and the lwo-door. sedan the lowest pri~ed &f!TS in their field.

We :Ford neaiers are proud

to be part of the organiu~Oll

tliat pioneered and is continu·

ing such a clear, realistic and

progressive policy. We consider this newest Ford

price reduction still further

ptoof 'that the Eprd Motor

· Comp11P,y leads in offering the

:American PubliG the most value

at the' lowest possible price.

And we feel cercain that it

will play a definite part in

'speeding. the return of sound

and sensible prices, and a secure

future for consumer, seller and

produeer alike:

Thomas N. Lacy, pre.sid~t-of the: company, revealed Michiic&D ·Bell's plan.& in an anouncement that 3651-

000 telephone numbers int.:Detroit and nearby exchanges will be changed in the nex.t 4 to 15 years as a Preliminary to tthe _introduc­tion of the service imprafi,ements.

for nationwide toll dialing, .Lacy said the United States will ·be di­vided into some 75 munbering areas, including at least two and possibly three for Michigan. Each area in Michigan will be iclentified by a. three--digit code. A N"ew York operator, de&iring to rea.c.h a Mieffikan eX.Change1 !firs~'· would dial the three digits corref)Onding to the numbering-code area, fol­lowed by thi! particular exehange code and number of the subBCpber.

In addition to Detroit, other eX~ changes involved in impending number changes are Birmingham, Royal Oak, Pontiac, Center Line, Roseville, Trenton. Wyandotte, Farmington, Northville 1 Plymoutb, Wayne, Ypsilanti, •Ann Arbor, Mt. Clemens, Middlebelt, ~onia, Southfield, Rockwood, and_ War· ren.

The changies will put the metro­politan area <>n a 7..digit number· irig-code basis -as now operates in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and their suburbs. Lacy said ..the entire numbering.plan program will coat the company more than $3.Q()().000. Aa the first move, the compa.{ly is ·cha"itging num~ ur · 20,000 Subscribers in three central bffice areas in Detroit with the new numbers appearing in the · April
