of the superintendents as rapidly >
they can reach them, and in ti

that every school superintendent

clubs, etc. of the several fraternal
civic and patriotic organizations for
active aid which will be promptly
given to all who will assume vigor
ous leadership in this important cam
paign. The State School Superin

GREATEST

II CiEYftOIET HISTORY
Today, Chevrolet presents the Greatest
Chevrolet in Chevrolet History—a smoother,
faster, better Six—with beautiful new bodies
by Fisher.
Basically, it is the same sturdy, substantial
Six which won such tremendous popularity
in I9?9. But it is a greater car in every way
—for there arc scores of vital improvements
which contribute to comfort, performance,
endurance and safety.
An improved six-cylinder valve-in-head
motor, with its capacity increased to SO
horsepower; four Delco-Lovejoy hydraulic
shock absorbers; fully-enclosed internal-
expanding weather-proof brakes; a new
dash gasoline gauge; heavier and stronger
rear axle; Fisher non-glare windshield;
larger tires—
—these are typical of the many improve
ments sound throughout the entire design.
But most impressive of all—this smoother,
faster, better Six is available—
■at greatly reduced prices
During 1929, more than a million three hundred
thousand persons bought six-cylinder Chevroleta.
This enormous volume has made possible many
savings in the Chevrolet factories—and, in keeping
with its long-establlkhed policy, Chevrolet is shar-
