A STUDY IN
PERCENTAGE
The production
of Chevrolet cars
in 1914 was 5,000.
In 1916 it is to be
96,485, an increase
of over 1800 per
cent, in two years.
The 1916 pro
duction represents
an increase of more
than 600 per cent,
over the previous
year, while orders
on hand exceed by
over 1000 per cent,
those of a year ago
this time.
In other words the de
mand for Chevrolet motor
cars maintains its lead over
our steadily increasing pro
duction capacity.—because
Chevrolet production from
the beginning has not been
mere cars; but in every sense
of the term,
QUALITY
CARS
Chevrolet has won its way
through sheer merit to this
enviable position.
