Page 10 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, November 2, 1954 Plymouth Is Getting Off To Record Year With New Model Plymouth Motor Corporation is planning on the greatest sales vol- ume in its history during 1955, and is getting off to a fast start} by scheduling all-time high pro- duction, according to Dan L. Na- varro, president of Navarro, Inc. local Dodge - Plymouth - Chrysler - De Soto dealer of Key West. Navarro, H. Earl Duncan, and John F. Blackwell. Jr. recently re-| turned from a preview of the 1955 line of Plymouth cars at Daytona Beach. With a line of cars featuring all new styling, new high horse-power engines, and many luxury features formerly found only in the most expensive cars, Plymouth has re- tooled its factory and by mid-Nov- ember will be producing more than 3,000 cars per day. They are long- er, lower, and wider than previous models, and the most powerful ears Plymouth has ever built. By the end of December, Ply- mouth expects to have built more than 160,000 of the new models. That is some 60,000 more than were built during November and December in the peak year of 1953. Plymouth officials pointed out that a week before the first of the new cars came down the assembly line, enthusiastic dealers had or- dered more than 150,000 without having seen a single model. The backlog of orders is expected to be more than doubled by the time all dealers have seen the cars. Plymouths, traditionally the world’s third largest producer of passenger cars, expects to double its 1954 sales during 1955 and to sell nearly 20 per cent more cars than the record 635,000 units which were sold during 1953. Officials pointed out that Ply- mouth has had the new car under development for three years, and at the same time has been “tooling up” its manpower in pointing for Police Here Sun.

UNEXPECTED GUEST HENDERSON, Ky. — When pranksters kept him awake by throwing walnuts against his house, Ed Dunbar decided to leave the front door open. Now, he said to himself, “I can get a running start on them the next time it happens.” But Dunbar fell asleep. He awoke yesterday morning, walked into the living room and found his cow staring him in the face. a big sales year in 1955. During the past year the Plymouth field organization has increased its num- ber of field representatives from 103 to 291 and has concentrated its sales efforts by re-arranging its geographical coverage of the coun- try. Regional offices have been in- creased from 12 to 19 to better serve the more than 10,000 dealers who sell Plymouths in the U. S. The 1955 Plymouths can be seen on the 17th of November in the showroom of Navarro, Inc., corner of Southard and Duval Streets, a- long with the other famous Chrys- ler automobiles, — a <a Sie Now in ONE daily tablet 11 VITAMINS + 12 MINERALS to guard your family’s diet PLENAMINS In each Plenamii Nexaltt MORE than your mi: Super ins tablet mum requirement of ALL VI' TAMING whose dail juire- ments are known, plus VITAMIN Bs, FOLIC ‘ACID, LIVER CONCENTRATE, and 12 IMPORTANT MINERALS in- eduding CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS, IRON and IODINE.

The Retail Division — numbering approximately 170 stores—has been divided into 14. lists of about one dozen stores each, grouped ac- cording to location. The fourteen solicitors covering these territories are: Bill Brownley, representing Overseas Appliances; Robert Cu- bino, assistant manager of Butler’s Shoes; Dolice Curry and Ida Gell- rich, owners of the Not New Shop; Mrs. Ruth Galey; Virginia Goulet of Key West Garden and Lawn Supplies; Virginia Rees of Gift House; Earl Julian, Julian Ap- pliances; Concha and Dora Mar- tinez of Martinez Refrigeration; H. E. MeDonald of Television Sales and Service; Jose Menendez, manager of Thom McAn’s; Charles Pierce of Pierce Brothers; Nelbeth Reese, manager Sears, Roebuck: Charles Smith, of Dion and Smith; and the Key West Angels, local motorcycle club. Twelve of the 14 solicitors listed are representatives from the local business houses themselves—own ers or principals from each store named. In addition to their store’s and their personal donations, they are also giving valuable time from their businesses to help in this work because they believe in it. Outlying Areas Mrs. Ruth Galey volunteered to help the merchants by soliciting for them from the more scattered stores in order that these business people would not lose any more time from their work than abso- lutely necessary. And the Key West Angels, local motorcycle club, took over the solicitation of even more scattered territory, extending all the way to Stock Island. Asking for money is not easy— | and a solicitor’s job is not a pleas- | ant one. But all of these solicitors believe in the Community Chest They all know that this one annual Community Chest drive takes the Place of 12 additional individual drives that otherwise would have to be made each year. And they | know that a successful Community Chest means more successful charitable and welfare organiza- tions—and, therefore, a better community, Key Westers Know Who knows better than Key | Westers the terrible havoc that | can be wrought by a hurricane — both ashore and at sea —and the | suffering and privation that has been and will continue to be eased by the Key West Chapter of the American Red Cross.
