Aladdin and his wonderful
Lamp! Does that carry you
back to your chftdhood? This is
‘ eason specially dedicated
since the Babe of \
.cu and women are I
t-.e old stories of
own childhood because they
c attune themselves for Christ-
and the little fellows to
whom lire is something new each
day and whose imagination is
still stronger and more vivid than
the stark realities you and I
face all the time.
You’ve read the Arabian Nights,
no doubt, and you remember
Aladdin and his lamp. Aladdin
rubbed his lamp and that brought
to him the slave you could ful
fill any wish of Aladdin’s. That
would be helpful and handy to
day because we might rub the
lamp and tell the slave to bring
us a fine roast such as graced
the table in old England; and
such as our fathers used to have,
when beef was only beef and not
rated as being as valuable as
damonds.
Perhaps you recall hearing your
father speak of ordering a roaflt,
with the same ease that one
might sho*v in calling for a loaf
of bread today. And, strangely
enough, today’s loaf of bread
costs as much as a small roast
in grandfather’s day.
Alas, but we have no Aladdin’s
lamp, or we might have a roast
everyday.
You recall the Arabian Nights?
If not, refresh ybur memory; put
aside cross-word puzzles and re
vel in the atmosphere of the lux
ury of oriental splendor, when a
diamond was as common as a
pork sausage of today.
Our grandfathers read such
tales of sumptuous living and
that kind of reading may have
contributed to the sustained
flights of imagination which re
sulted in giving to the world
the America you and I inherited.
Nothing that Aladdin called for
was equal to the wonderful Na-
Between Labor
America Great
tion we inherited.
The Arabian Nights stories are
known in all languages, but
only in America can we find
a fullness of living that would
make Aladdin seem a very
oruiuary sort of fellow. iHowever,
my mind turned to Aladdin by
reafting an advertisement. Here’s
cue neading: “They’re Making a
Piker out of Aladdin in America.”
rea, verily, as some of yie min
isters used to say. Let me quote
the advertisement:
“Something fantastic is going
on in the‘work shops of America.
Few people believed that the
job could be done . . . few pre
dicted the miracle. There wasn’t
time to absorb the stupendous
task of producing military goods
and simultaneously meet new
nigh levels in consumer demand.
Industry went ahead quietly,
with the confidence that years
of mass production experience has
inspired, and today undreamed of
progress is being made on both
fronts.
In every U. S. aircraft factory,
technical institute and electronics
laboratory, the military phase of
the day is ‘guided missiles.’ In
secluded valleys the hush is
sometimes broken by a scream
ing roar that echoes among thd
mountains, and a monstrous bird
with a flaming tail flies into the
sky at several times the speed
of sound. In closely guarded
factories all over the U. S. the
birds are hatching.
Invention, under the demand
for military goods, shattering
precedent in thousands of ways,
unheard of new materials coming
into being—old ideas of speed
and cost and efficiency fading in
to history. The spirit now build
ing for our defense at the same
time shaping the products of outf
future greatness.
Back of this miracle of produc
tion is a system that every
American may be proud to con
template. What is industry? Ouf

cation system yes; these
a e the physical properties of
America’s industrial might.
Biit the spirit came first. And
out of that spirit grew the great
system. Behind the bricks, steel
and machinery are the millions
of men and women. Industry is
the product of their skills and
courage, the product of the
citizens of America. The great
achievement of Labor, Capital, Em
ployer, Consumer, forged together
over the last century. Making mis
takes and correcting them. Prov
ing here, improving there, and al
ways going forward.
Today as citizens we face our
biggest challenge. % Negligence,
indifference, turning our backs
on what really made us can de
stroy everything. It’s entirely
up to us. Which means you, an^
you, and me. Success or failure
depends on how well we do our
energies to the serious task at
hand and build with every tool
at our command- for the greater
America of the future.”

W E’LL put it up to you! There must be plenty
of good reasons why more people buy
Chevrolets than any other car.
Here are tome things to think about
There’s the way Chevrolet looks. Nice clean,
curved lines—like cars in the high-price field!
Chevrolet’s Body by Fisher sets the pace
among low-priced cars.
There’s the way Chevrolet rides and handles.
The smoothness and big-car comfort of Uni-
Telephone 98S
tized Knee-Action. Bigger brakes—biggest in the
field—for safer, surer stops. Finest no-shift and
standard driving at lowest cost with Power-
glide or Synchro-Mesh transmission.
There’s the way Chevrolet saves. Chevrolet
is the lowest-priced line in the field and the
savings go on and on with low operating costs.
There ore plenty more reasons why Chev
rolet is America’s favorite. Come in and let
us show them to you.
