Sloan, Jr., "President this machinery of betterment; so the public is entitled to each improve ment as promptly as it has been proved. In this way came the self-starter, the closed body, durable Duco finish, four wheel brakes. By the same process one of the remarkable feats in industrial history has just been effected: Chevrolet has been trans formed into a six-cylinder car within the price range of the four almost overnight. Similarly, the new brakes and transmissions of Cadillac and LaSalle are a fundamental improve ment; while the new models of Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland and Pontiac all represent values that could not have been offered before. . Such progress, born of the in herent ambition of an organization of active minds to do better and to give more, is of benefit to all. It offers you more for your money with each suc ceeding year. It gives you more value for your present car when you trade it in. This is our policy. This is real prog- THE public has been visiting the automobile shows in the larger , cities of the country to see new models. Suppose you could drop a curtain over the 1929 automobile shows and raise it immediately upon the shows of ten years ago. How vividly the changes would then appear! Go back five years, or even three, and the contrasts are amazing. So fast have the improvements followed one another that every year has of fered you more for your automobile dollar in performance, in comfort, in safety,- in beauty and in style. Never was this fact quite so im pressive as in the cars now on dis play. This is real progress, and inevi tably General Motors has been a leader in it. You cannot have hun dreds of engineers, in one organiza tion, thinking and working day and night without knowing. more about making automobiles than was known the year before. You cannot have great Research Laboratories, the Proving Ground and the unmatched resources and skill of Fisher body without developing constantly better processes and new ideas.
