Big Increase For Year

jpnny ^or the month of December of
1928 were $26,103,925.^, as compared
with gross sales for the tame month
in f927 or $21,799,521.80, revealing a
gain of 15.16 per cent. Tlie total for
the year is $176,697,622*02, or a gain
of 16.28 per cent as compared with to
tal sale^ of $151,957,865.20 in 1927.
I In commenting on the year’s in
crease, A. J. 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

High money rates are the only cloud

fears exist that, a i^vival of specula

expansion in brokers borrowings
might retard new construction and

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.
While the new sLx-cyUnder motor
was in process of development, other
Cheyrolet engineers were perfecting
other parts of the chassis. And
another great automotive organiza
tion—the Fisher Body Corporation
-^was devoting its gigantic resources
to the creation of the finest,
sturdiest and most beautiful bodies

automobile.

ness, acceleration and quietness —
its performance is truly amazing. Itk
handling ease and roadability are
exceptional. Its economy of oper

line. And its outstanding beauty,
smartness and luxury are eVciting
widespread admiration. '
