At the close delicious refreshments A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE The high reputation of Chevrolet ... its makers and its dealers ... were three main reasons why Chevrolet led all other makes in popularity according to recent impartial l surveys among automobile owners! What safer guide can there be than repu- tation, when it comes to choosing a motor car? For reputation is based on the day by day and year by year experience of Cana- dian motorists — driving their cars in every Canadian season, on every kind of Cana- dian road. Every car can claim top quality. But only one car can be Canada's favorite in popularity, in sales, in' value —with the highest reputation in all parts of the country ... and that's the car to buy! Recent nation-wide surveys aemang auto- mobile owners have established beyond question that Chevrolet is the leading car in reputation, three ways—the high reputa- tion of the car itself; the high reputation of its manufacturers, General Motors; and the high' reputation of Chevrolet Dealers. What safer guide can there be? You simply can't go wrong when you buy the leader - Chevrolet! LORNE BROWN OTORS LIMITE were served by the social com- mittee.
