the quicker I could show her I'd

Searching the "Business Opportu-

I run down a lead one day which
wound up with me taking over the

familiar voice says sweetly out ox

OU know how '"' all the resources of
JIL General Motors9i were used to make
the original Pontiac Six the finest car
ever introduced into the field of low -
paged sixes. You know the wildfire success that
resulted.
But do you know that the present day Pontiac ---
at its new low prices, is a new and finer six—an.
even greater car that is scoring an even greater
success P
It offers the added appeal of new p'isher bodies—
longer, lower, roomier and finished in new and
strikingcotnbinations of enndr ring lDuco.
It embodies important mechanical refinements—
tilting-beam headlights with foot control, new
transmission add brake levers, oil -tight universal
joints and a clutch even smoother its action.
It provides in full measure those basic Pontiac
qualities that took all America by storm—these
qualities of stamina, economy and long life which
were developed by over three years' testing ots
the great General Motors Proving Ground!
Small wonder that the tide of public preferetice
is turning to the Pontiac Six --as never before to
another six. in the lowepriced field !
