In Chevrolet you get more for your
money than in any other car built.
You get every essential improvement
developed by automotive engineers
during the last twelve years of
progress.
You get the greater flexibility of
Chevrolet’s 3-speed transmission —
the greater power and smoothness
of Chevrolet’s valve-in-head motor
—the easier, safer handling of Chev­
rolet’s semi-reversible steering gear
—the greater comfort of semi-ellip­
tic springs.
Buy no other low-priced car until
you have compared it with Chev­
rolet. Check point for point—fea­
ture for feature. Know what you
are actually getting for the price you
pay. Let us give you a demonstration.
Statistics have proven that only
one-half of one per cent of the
speeches made in Congress are lis­
tened to. A great many Congress­
men speak IN , but not T O , Con-
ess. But every speech is published
n the record. They send the rec-
¡rds back home to show “W hat
hey told ’em up there in W ashing-
n.” N ow the people back home
ink Congress heard their “Lem”

Now, here is my scheme to stop
'ech making. A Bill reading as

For instance: “Congressman Post
Hole arose to a point of informa­
tion and spoke at length on, ‘Is
Locarno a town, or is it a Treaty?’
Length of speech, without waiting
for applause, four hours, thirty-six
minutes; attendance. Gout (Rep.
N . Y . ) : ‘Unable to get out.’ Sixty-
forty (D em . N . J .) : ‘Case of reci­
procity, he listened to m ine.’ Low ­
brow (Rep. M ass.) : 1 was asleep,
even the good speakers haven’t
woke me up.’ ” .
N ow I claim that w ill stop some
speech making. T he minute it gets
back home that “Lemmie” is talk­
ing to himself up there, “Lemmie”
w ill stop talking.
You know why they w on’t listen
to anybody up there? They have
