Many conditions still exist which encourage the '’gray marketing” of automobiles. You don’t like this — and neither do we. There’s no law against "under the counter” deals — demanding a bonus for early delivery. There’s no law against loading cars with ac cessories the customer doesn’t want or need. There’s no law against selling to buyers who make it their business to resell new cars at inflated prices. Buf we don't do it because it's not good business. All dealers buy cars at clearly established factory prices which with the exception of transportation, are the same, model for model, all over the country. All start on a fair and equal basis — and should therefore sell at these fair and reasonable delivered prices. So we’re making public announcement of our code of fair dealing. Our foursquare selling policy, simply stated, is this: NO PADDING OF PRICES •kg? J TRADE-INS DESIRED- BUT NOT COMPULSORY S-i-S We guarantee our delivered prices to conform with the manu facturer’s recommendation and to contain nothing but standard charges which, of course, include Sales and Excise Taxes. You receive an itemized bill of sale. All prices are an ’’Open Book” — they are available to you and we sell at these listed figures. ...............: 2 n NO LOADING OF UNWANTED ACCESSORIES All cars are offered with factory-installed accessories only and prices are figured to cover these. We pledge ourselves to add no ’’extras” except those each customer orders — and to avoid using ’’extras” to increase the delivered price. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to our loyal customers and friends for their patience in awaiting their turn for delivery of new General Motors cars. Although the popularity of General Motors cars is unprecedented, and the supply is lagging far behind the demand, we are doing our utmost to be fair and equitable in their distribution. We will take your order for future delivery, without requiring a trade-in. However, we have many valued used-car customers who also depend upon us to supply them with automobiles. For this reason we would like to have your trade-in, and we'll give you a fair and reasonable allowance for it. r 4 ■ NO COLLUSION While we cannot prevent our customers from reselling new cars, we will not knowingly be a party to such trans actions. Our only interest is to deliver new cars to bona fide customers. We present this platform because we believe it’s good business to keep our customers informed. It’s a platform that gives you a fair deal when you buy a new car — exactly the same kind of a deal and treatment you got before the war. If you wish additional information, it will gladly be supplied by any dealer whose name is signed to this announcement. GM-68A Snell Bros. (#o LOCAL DELIVERED.
