HEVROLET WINNERS IN presenting these' new models to you we do so with the utmost configence that we are giving you something in cars that is absolutely unequalled. You must remember that they are built in Canada, that you save from $250.00 to $350.00 on duty alone, an item which in other cars in our class represents absolutely no car value, - That instead of waiting 5 to 6 weeks for parts to come from the United States you can get them from Oshawa in one-half day, but that with our large stock we usually have Chevrolet parts right here and no delay. And that you are dealing with a branch of the General Motors Corporation--the largest in the world. G. B.
