Swansea, manager of the local store said: “We feel that the increased ■ sales over last year to the* amount $24,- 739,766.92, or 16.28 per cent is a splendid showing for our 1923 stores in operation at the close of 1929. “While the Sales for the year were less than the quota, we believe this fact may be attributed to the unsea sonable li^eather. The increases made by the stores in operation for a year or more reflect a satisfactory condi tion throughout the country. Due to the broad scope of our store units which are located in every state but Delaware, the picture presented is a goodcross-section of the economic sit uation. “In line with our program to open 600 new stores in the next twelve months, as recently announced, the company expects to do well in excess THE FLAPPER’S RESOLVE Resolved to be true tq myself—not some sheik.

Never has a new motor, car come to the public more thoroughly proved in every detail than The Outstanding Chevrolet of Chevrolet History. Years ago, the Chevrolet Motor Company designed and built its first experimental six-cylinder motor. This far-sighted step was taken because Chevrolet engineers knew that the six-cylinder motor is inherently the most perfectly balanced motor —the ideal power plant to meet the ^growing public demand for greater reserve power, faster getaway and, above all— smooth, quiet performance. During the last four years, over a hundred six-cylinder motors—rep resenting every conceivable t>'pe— were built by Chevrolet engineers and tested on the General Motors Proving (Grounds This constituted one of the greatest series of tests ever conducted w.ith any automobile. From time to time, the experimental models were tom down iof iri8pe&' tion, redesigning and further testing — until the present motor was de veloped and pronounced. correct.
