To the People of Camden and Vicinity: In last week's edition of one of the leading automobile journals of _ the United States we read the following under the caption of FRATERNALISM: "Competition between dealers handling the same line has long been one of the crying evils of the business." Our recent experience confirms our ppinion as to the truthfulness of this statement. \Ve came to Camden one year ago to establish a Chevrolet agency. At that time we thought the depression had about run its course. But unfortunately for us and for everybody conditions grew steadily worse until on or about the first of July this year. However, in the face of these facts we have endeavored to render a reasonable service to the . people in our trading area. . Now that we have overcome the financial panic, and business is gradually on the road to recovery, we are taking this method to let you know we are going to do our part for our customers, our business and we consider it our patriotic duty to exhaust every effort to helping business conditions back to a more favorable stage. With a high appreciation for the good business we have had from some of you, and with an earnest solicitation for the continuance of your patronage, we are going forth into, what we believe to be, a better era. To those of you wiho are considering trading for a new car, we wish to announce we have a carload of new cars and we would like very much to trade with you. And to those of you wlho need repair work, we would like for you to come around and figure with Willie Smyrl. Willie is an efficient mechanic, and will give you prices that are consistent with the times. Trusting you will bring your transportation problems to us. Camden Chevrolet Company C. M. GRAVES. Manager
