To the People of Morrow County:
Since Pearl Harbor all of us have experienced many unusual
problems. Our sons, relatives and friends are away finishing a
great war in order to preserve for the American people their most
precious possession liberty.
Sacrifice, community services, war services, longer hours, ex
tra effort, all were a part of the scheme to win this war.
During the past four years our desire to render efficient service
was greatly hampered by shortage of material and manpower. I
know that you have occasionally been disappointed by the kind of
service we were able to give you under war conditions.
Through it all you have been patient and understanding and
did not complain. So in all sincerity let me say to you, thanks a
million, I truly appreciate your cooperation and patience during
these wartime years.
In conclusion we wish to announce to you that we now have a
complete motor tune up and front end alignment man with the very
latest in front end alignment and motor tune up equipment which
we have just installed. We believe this to be the most modern and
complete equipment ever installed in Morrow County. We have
been able to also secure just recently some of our old time mechan
ics who have been in the service. Also, most parts are now avail
able for your car.
We promise to give you more efficient, quicker and more cour
teous service in the post-war period than ever before. This will be
our contribution, to rededicate ourselves to the nation in making
a good job available for every returning serviceman. So again,
thanks a million and with best wishes for a very successful future,
I am
Yours very truly,
Hodge Chevrolet Company
