The next sound was of a kiss. “Shall we open the gate and Just follow them gently—gently— through it?” Stan heard her say. Jimmie assented riotously.

A new six-cylinder Chevrolet is now on display, offering fine-car distinc- tion and quality certain to appeal “to every discriminating buyer. For the new Chevrolet represents a type of economical transportation that America has long anticipated —a low-priced six styled with such strik- '‘ing talent and good taste, so smartly beautiful and complete in its per- fection of detail, so advanced and refined mechanically that you will immediately recognize it as the Great American Value. This great value is the outcome of four basic advantages which the Chevrolet Motor Co. enjoys: (1) The savings of in nineteen great models of completeness and efficiency. volume production which result when raw materials are purchased in vast quantities. (3) The benefits of continuous re- search in General Motors labora- tories and on the General Motors Proving Ground. And (4) the close association with the Fisher Body Corporation, who, this year, have surpassed all their previous achieve- ments in fine coacheraft by develop- ing bodies of outstanding quality, refinement and value. These basic advantages have made it possible to build a finer car at lower They have epabled Chevrolet to offer important improvements throughout the new Chevrolet Six — to give it a longer wheelbase — greater roominess and comfort — strikingly smarter style — impressive new luxury — more thoroughly satisfactory performance — greater ~dependabil- ity.
