Tet, to date Auburn deliveries re nearly double those for. the. same period of last year. . ' More Auburn cars will be built and sold the first 6 months of ' this year than for the .12 months of 1928, which was our banner year. ( . Today's demand for Auburn cars is the fruition of more than four years of accumulative proof that Auburn actually des build more advanced types of cars, and dots build better cars, and does give greater value for less money. But even that is not the keynote to Auburn's progressive policy. Mr.E.L. Cord says the customers ; of the factory are the ones most . entitled to benefit from th'at fac tory's success. Auburn puts these benefits back into the merchandise itself. Auburn's growth is retroactive to Auburn buyers in the form of continu ally bigger values for less money. . E. L. Cord says t The best way t protect the customer's Inyestment, and give him trigger value for less cost. Is to supply the hind of cars people want, so that they are sold before they are built. Proof that the public knows how to compare values is evidenced in Auburn's sales jump of 71 the first 3 months of this year. The demand was instantaneous and is steadily increasing. To care for this demand we enlarged our factory capacity 200. in creased our number of employees -10Q) and increased pur produc tion 100. . Yet, despite our great production increase, Auburn cars continue oversold. The demand far ex ceeds he immediate supply. to place the buyer's interest uppermost. Today it is universally conceded that the Straight Eight type of '. car out ranks all others in superla tive quality, smoother perform ance, longer life and higher resale , value. - Now Auburn has completely and ' conclusively proven the Straight Eight to be as economical as a Six. And Auburn offers a Straight,, Eight for less than many Sixes. The significant thing is that Auburn's oversold condition operates in favor of the public. Only when a factory is in this condition, and not influenced by expediency requirements, is it free While we regret that any one has had to take a 'second choice'- car because they could not wait for an Auburn, obviously that is cne penalty we must pay for operat ing our business on the oversold policy.' . ' '.' '" ' '"'';' v.'.;,.';.. We want to ask aU whoso first choice is for Auburn cars to b a little patient. Auburn ears AHJK worth waiting for.
