CHEVROLETS
If you read this and don't believe it, just come over and
let us show you. It is a fact, altho the comparison may
sound queer, we are turning Chevrolets just like hot
c akes. When you realize the number of cars we sell each
el
month, you will stop and wonder why everyone is not
driving a new Chevrolet. And if you will take time to
note the cars passing you some time, you will discover
that a majority of them are Chevrolets. You can select
your color from either the Green, Blue or Grav—all
will be glad to accommodate you.
