February production ‘this year showed an increase of 34,518 cars or more than 67 per cent over the total of 51,303 Chevrolets built in Febru- ary, 1926. : Despite gréatly enlarged ‘facili provided under the $10,000,000 expan- sion program completed Dec. 1, 1926, the Chevrolet Motor company was forced to extend its operations by working overtime, day and night, to meet the nation-wide demand for Chevrolet _cars—a demand marking the rise of this company to its posi- tion as the largest manufacturer of gear-shift cars in the world. “There is only one reason for the phenomenal growth in popularity of the Chevrolet car,” said W. 8, Knud- sen, president of the Chevrolet Mo- tor company, “and that is—it has pleased the publie. It has met the desire of the public for a high grade car, of exceptional quality and per- formance, at a reasonable price. It is this constantly growing approval of the Chevrolet car that is causing @ the company to extend its production to meet the increasing demand.” In the first two months of 1925 the Chevrolet Motor company built 46,373 cars; in the same period of 1926 it built 97,740 and in January and Feb- ruary of this year it totaled 159,497 cars—an increase in two years for this period of 113,124 cars. 30,000 Quiz Papers Are Corrected Here Approximately 30,000: examination papers of students of consolidated and graded high schools of the state are being given their final check by the state department of public in- attuction.
