An Open Letter to the Editor * 0 a From the President of General Motors f AST SPRING I wrote you that my belief in the country newspaper had led us in General Motors to decide to advertise our products together in the small-city presa of the country. . The retunuffrom the aeriea of the mesaages recently published have justified that faith; and we shall continue to advertise in your community through your newspaper this fall. It occurs to me, however, that some of your readers may be asking: “What it General Motors?” and “Why is General Motors?” These are fair questions and I should like to answer them as frankly as I can. General Motors was organized some years ago on the-theory that a group of large com panies, working together, could render a better service than they could separately. In this we simply applied to industry a principle that is as old as civilization as regards the human family and human progress. Original members of the General Motors family were Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oak land and Oldsmobile, together with the Delco- Light Company and other well-known com panies manufacturing automotive equipment. By joining together thlir resources, we were able to establish great Research Laboratories, a 1245-acre Proving Ground and the GMAC Plan of credit purchase; to effect vast econ omies in purchase and manufacture and distribution; to assure and maintainthequality of every product in the General Motors family. Has the General Motors family principle proved itself in practice? The best answer, I think, is to compare the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Oakland of today with the models af five or ten years ago.. Then add Pontiac, a General Motors tkxi. Add LaSalle, another General Motors creation. And then consider how General Motors has developed these •cars into a com plete line, within which any family may find 'a suitable quality car at the price it plans to pay: ‘‘A Car tor Every Pvrnt and Purpose.” Another example is Frigidsdre, the electric refrigerator. General Motors had the resources to spend millions to develop a satisfactory refrigerator, and then to apply to its manu facture the same processes which have in creased the utility^and lowered the coat of the automobile. We believe that this record justifies General Motoft as an economic institution. Its prod ucts are quality products, first of all. Their prices represent the economies of united effort passed on to the purchaser. In the last year one in each three automobiles chosen by the public has been a General Motors car. The service of Delco-Light electric plants has extended to more than a quarter million homes, while Frigidaire has become the world’s largest sell ing convenience of its land. We beKeve also that the values now offered in the current General Motors products (which are listed below) prove anew that “many minds are better than one” and that a family of companies, working together, can produce results which are decidedly in the public interest and of increasing benefit to the individual family. 1.. —•i V ' ' Very truly yours, Alfred P.
