But sometimes delays can't be avoided, even though every last piece of available telephone equipment is on the job, handling more traffic than it was ever built to carry. .... And that fact is directly related to our other battle against time—our big building pro- gram. Every additicin to present facilities hastens the day when we will once again be able to handle every call as promptly as we would like.

BERT ARMSTRONG 'Phone 181 Wingham We are doing our best to see that you get your new car as quickly as possible We want to thank every one of our customers — and every prospective customer as well for the friendly patience with which you are awaiting your new General Motors car, whether it be a Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick or Cadillac. That patience will be more than rewarded when 'we hand you the keys to one of these great new General Motors cars, for here, in our judgment are automobiles ahead of their time far and away the best in each Of their respective classes. We know how difficult it is to wait even a day for a car 'of General Motors exceptionally fine quality; but we believe you will understand that we and General Motors are as eager to'deliver cars as purchasers are to obtain them. Unfortunately, the cars produced so far this year are far fewer than we and the factory had counted on. General Motors headquarters at Oshawa sums up the situation thus: "Even though our rate of production normally exceeds that of any other manufacturer, we have been able to build, up to August 1, only . a small percentage of the number of cars we built up to that date in 1941. Our own produc- tion, like that of the industry in general, is still far below normal, because of frequent shortages of essential materials and parts. Strike after strike at the plants of our suppliers has seriously impeded our progress • toward full production, and the cumulative effect severely hampers both manufacturing and assembly.", While production is restricted, so — in proportion — are shipments of cars to us. As production increases, we are assured of getting our proportionate share of the total number of cars from the factory. 'But we want you to know that as quickly as these cars are received, we will speed deliveries to our customers. We thank you, again, for your understanding and patience — confident that when your turn comes to enjoy the brilliant new standards achieved by the new General Motors tars, you will be thankful you wa ited.
