Continuation ot the intensive
sales and advertising activities
which contributed so largely to
the sharp sales gains in used cars
made by Chevrolet dealers dur
ing May was announced here to
day by Bill Page of the Douglas
McKay Chevrolet company.
jThe records of sales for the

the most successful used car cam
paigns we have ever had," said
Page. "Persons planning .vacations-
have taken advantage of
the tremendous savings offered
at this time and have purchased
cars that will give them peak per
formance at great economy.
During the month ot May,
Douglas McKay Chevrolet com
pany sold 71 used, cars and
trucks, according to Page.
'This upswing in sales' repre
sents an Increase of 48 per cent
over our used car mark made In
February and an increase of SO
per cent over May of 18S9, he
said.
The outstanding success of the
recent used car campaign was
attributed to the excellent stock
of makes and models the McKay
company is "offering the N motor
ing public. "Many of the cars we
have on display are actually less
than one year old," Page pointed
out. "Our used car experts have
checked and double-checked all
models to assure every purchaser

the children grasped their noses
and rushed from the! room. Lewis
Jerked open a window and glanced
into a courtyard below.
A steam shovet, breaking
ground for a courthouse addition,
had ripped open a gas main.
