A friend came by shop the other day and left this for me to look at. His day use to raid Ford dealings the 1950s. I got a lot of good stuff from him. This is a Scott’s Digest, looks to be a salesman’s info book.

I had to stop taking pictures, pages are very fragile.
Has a lot of price comparison charts too.
I will try and post more if I can find a way. Dan

That's a great little book, I've never seen one before. Clymer reprinted a salesman's book of some kind years ago. I seem to recall it was later, perhaps '26 or '27?

This book is no good. All the numbers are out of date and Ford doesn't
even offer a car like this anymore ! Sheesh ! :roll:

That is too nifty.

I can easily imagine a salesman out on a farm, showing the farmer the pages and talking about them.

I'm also concerned about the size of that chicken. If that's a standard billboard, that chicken must be ten feet tall and weigh 400 pounds. The fact that it can also read just makes it more worrying.

I am wondering if anyone looked at the spindle page? It says a Ford spindle weights 2 1/4 lb while the fake ones weigh 2 1/2 lb.
Maybe a way to tell them apt. Dan
