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. Get a car and do more work and do it eas- ier. G. B.
