Chevrolet production for July
raised the total volume-for the
first seven months of this year to
nearly on a par with its entire out
put for 1926, in which year Chev
rolet established an all-time pro-|
duction record for the manufac-J
ture of gear shift cars, according
to figures released today by the‘
Chevrolet Motor Co,
Production for the month just
ended totalied 89,569 units as
against 50,993 units for July 1926,
an increase of 75.65 percent. This
percentage of gain over the cor
responding month of last year
was greater in July than in any
other month so far into 1927. The
next highest month was February,
when thig: year’s figures revealed
an increase of 67 percent over
‘Februery, 1926.
July volume brings production
for the first seven months of this
year to 697,318 units; whereas in
the entire year of 1926 the total
volume was only 727,697 units
indicating that at the present rate
of output the figures for last year
will be passed before August gets
feily under way.
Chevrolet officials were confi
dent, in view of this extracrdinary
showing, that by the close of the
year the {otal volume for 1927
would approach very closely to
the million mark. The gr2at
Chevrolet factories are running
day and night to accomplish this
fremendous volume and t) meet
the steadily growing public favor
which "The Most Beautiful Chev
rolet” iseverywhere commanding.
Hand in hand with this gigantic
production schedule sare - new

broken for two new buildings to
stabilize the facilities of the fac
tory at Flint, Mich, A new office
building and a new parts bu:lding
are being erected at a cost of

Why not get the higher type of mechanical
assistance, our Mechanics are Ford
trained, and we have every labor saving de
vice worth while in the Ford Repair field.
Ford Owners in this vicinity who have tried
our facilities have been agreeably surprised
at the workmanship.
More work and better work in less time at less

A Fordson Tractor costs but little for each
working hour and nothing for its idle time.
