Corporation was also authorized by
the management of the company.
“During the first three months of
1929. vehicles sold to U. S. deal-
ers by the Chrysler Corporation
and Dodge Brothers totaled 96.800.
a gain of 5 per cent over the sales
of 92,318 units in the first .quarter
of 1928 and about 26 per cent great-
er than that of 76.860 in the first
quarter of 1927.
“Estimated retail deliveries in the

“Estimated retail deliveries in
the United States during the first
quarter of 1929 of Chrysler and
! Dodge Brothers cars were 75,757
! compared with 70,707 in that period
last year and 59,825 in the first
! three months of 1927. Tish is a gain
'of 7 per cent over the first quarter
jof 1928 and 26’a per cent otter that
of 19 27.This gain in retail deliver-
ies is better than twice the gain
made by the industry exclusive of
the lowest priced car in the mark-
et, in which price field Chrysler
Motors does not compete.
“These figures do not reflect the
huge gain occurring in export sales,
I-which amounted during the year of
1928 to over 25 per cent of those
'in 1927.
“A still further indication of the
increase in business is shown by
the fact that during the first three
months of this year sales totaled in
! excess of $100,000,000, both domes-
tic and export, compared with
around $94,000,000 in the same

Under this plan* we attach the Chevrolet Red
. O. K. Tag to the radiator cap of every recondi-
tioned car—showing exactly what vital of

We believe that no fairer system of used car mer-
chandising has ever been worked out—for it
the customer honest value.
“Over 16,000 Plymouths are
scheduled for production in April
to meet firm orders on hand. Pro-
duction of this car during the first
half of the current month is very
close to schedule.
“The De Soto car. marketed by
its own dealer organization and first;
introduced in August 1928. has
made history for itself during its j
brief life. During' the first six j
months erf De Soto production it I
established a new high record in
the industry, exceeding the produc- I
tion of any other car in the first
six months after its introduction.
“At this time an unusual situa- J
tion exists in connection with De-
Soto retail deliveries which for the
past three weeks have been in ex-
cess of production. It is estimated
that about 7,000 of these cars will
be delivered in the United States
during April.
“The Dodge sales performance
has been spectacular. The new
Dodge Six introduced at the New
York Automobile Show in Janu-
ary, has found immediate public
acceptance. 42,000 Dodge Sixes
were shipped during the first
quarter of which 18.000 were ship-
ped in March. Notwithstanding
these heavy shipments there has
been ho accumulation of Dodge cars
in dealers hands. Dodge dealer
stocks today represent only five or
six weeks deliveries at the currezjt'
rate of retail delivery.
“Dodge Brothers truck and bus
sales continue to show an upward
trend and it is felt that rtuck de-
liveries for 1929 will exceed those
of 1928. May truck and bus deliv-
eries are expected to materially in-
crease over those for May of
1928.
Durant Export
Sales Larger
DETROIT, April 27.—Despite in-
terruption necessitated by a move
early this year of major manufac-
turing activities from Elizabeth, N.
J., to Lansing, Mich., total over^
seas shipments of Durant and Rug-
! by cars and trucks by Durant Mo-
tors, Inc., during the first quarter
this year, according to H. P. Gilpin,
! export sales manager of the com-
pany. showed a gain of 26 per cent
compa/ed with exports during the
corresponding period last year. The
total reported for the first quarter
this jrear is 5,730 and for the first
quarter last year, 4,546.
“Durant shipments during Janu-
ary this year,” Mr. Gilpin points
out, “equalled to a car, shipments
during January last year, the fig-
ure in both cases being 1,923
units. Shipments for February this
year were 1,895, compared with
1.281 for February last year. Com-
parison for March shows 1,912 un-
its this year against 1,342 last year.
Total for the two months this year
shows a gain of 1,184 units or 45
per cent over the same period last
year.

Your Druggist is More
than a Merchant
A DARK stormy night . . .
XjL the baby is taken seri-
ously ill ... a physician is
summoned ... a prescription
is needed . . . your druggist
answers the call. It is a part
of the service rendered by the
doctor and the druggist to the
community.
-
Your druggist is more than!
a merchant. In addition to
keeping open during the regu-
lar shopping hours ... he is
ready day or night, rain or
shine . . . Sundays or holidays
to answer the call when you
need him most ... to render
.] . 'V ••
real service to humanity.
When L. L. Buttery took
over one o£ Cuero s oldest
drug stores, years ago, it was
an average drug store . . . do-
ing an average business and
rendering average service to
its customers. This young man
had an ideal it consisted of
one word and that one word
was SERVICE. Service was
the promise he made for his
store in return for new busi-
ness.
Service as the ideal . . . put
into practice . . . together with
good merchandising methods!
resulted in an increase of near-?,
ly 300 per cent in volume of
business th*e first three years
of operation. Service, togeth-
er with courteous and efficient
clerks . . . careful attention to
orders and prescriptions ....
prompt deliveries have result1*
ed in a steady growth of busi-
ness during each succeeding
year.
L. L. Buttery and his co-
workers appreciate this ex-
pression of public confidence.
They will strive to render even
more efficient and courteous
service in the future. They
feel they have an important
place to fill in the community
. . . that their customers ex-
pect more and are receiving
more. Your druggist is more
than a merchant.
