Vol, 23—No. 28. The Wise Choose The CHEVROLET SIX Otwell Motor Cos., Inc. “The House Service Built.” Shifting of favor among low priced passenger car buyers from four to six cylinder auto mobiles is definitely indicated by regstration figures for the year-to-date now appearing in leading - automotive trade magazines. ~ _ , Complete returns for the first five months of the year reveal leadership in passenger car; sales having gone to a six, I Chevrolet having titled 303,110 j cars in the period as against J the 292,774 fours titled by thej largest four cylinder car manu facturer. The trend is significent in that 1931 is the first year to see a six cylinder car leading all other makes. Although Chevrolet also occupied first place in registration several years ago, the record then was made with the old four cylin der Chevrolet before the clrgngeover to a six. The month by month margin of 10,000 ears by which Chev rolet led the runner-iuip this year was widest during May, when Chevrolet titled 4,600, more passenger ears than the leading four. May registra tions are further interesting in that Chevrolet titled only 1,000 less cars than the same month of 1930. During the first five months this year Chevrolet titled 303,110 cars compared with 333.174 for the same five months of last year which were regarded as normal. The drop of’ less than ten per cent com pares with a comparable drop for the industry generally of about thirty per cent. Indications of a general picx up in retail buying as it affects Chevrolet are contained in a comparison of registrations for May with the same month last year. Gains were record ed in the Far West, New Eng land, the Southeast from North Carolina to Florida, the Mid east in New York state, Penn sylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, and the Midwest, notably Indiana and Michigan. A merchant was told that he had only one month to live and so called in a lawyer to put his affairs in order. “Fix it,” he said, “so that my overdrafts at the bank will go to my wife— she can explain it to them. My equity in my automobile I want to go to my son. He will then have to work to keep up the payments. Give my ‘good will’ to * the supply houses. They took some awful chances on me and are entitled to some thing. My equipment, give to the junk man, he has had his eye on it for several years— and I want six of my creditors for pallbearers. They have icarried me so long they might as well finish the job.”—Savan ■nali Morning News. SCHOOL NOTICE Summer schools will open on Monday, July 20th, and close on Friday, Sept. 11.
