IPdDILn DlT A STATEMENT by GENERAL MOTORS Hi -T is the policy of Gen eral Motors to maintain continuous improvement in every one of its car divisions, with no interrup tion in production. This means that you enjoy the benefits of new engineering developments promptly just as soon as they have been thoroughly tested on the 1245-acre Proving Ground. It means that you can novo order the new Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Buick, LaSalle, Cadillac, or GMC Truck, and receive immediate delivery. Behind this policy of continuous improvement is an organization so widespread and resourceful that it can make and sell quality automobiles more economically, than any automobile manu facturer in the world. In the north and south it logs and mills its own lumber. In the east it makes its own ball bearings and radiators. In the middle west it produces its own plate glass. Its plants are busy in 33 important American cities. From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials are obtained steel by the hundreds of thousands of tons wire by the tens of thousands of miles upholstery by the acre nuts, bolts and washers by the millions. Its sales and service take place through 33,000 dealers. More than 275,000 families look directly to General Motors for their liveli hood almost a million and a half men, women and children in every community in the land. Meaning so much to so many, General Motors has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead. Are there methods by which General Motors cars can be better built to better serve? Are there new ideas which can increase the Utility and pleasure and safety of motoring? Are there now materials which can add to owner satisfaction? Such are the questions that all General Motors engineers have always asked. The answers have made it possible, year after year, to offer an in creasing measure of beauty in design, modern performance, riding comfort and distinct style. Thus in every price class, from Cadillac to Chevro let, purchasers are constantly benefiting from the General Motors policy of progress.
