Cars — Trucks — Campers — Motorcycles
North Georgia’s Most Reliable
Are you tired of the rising prices and ‘‘hidden”’ costs found
at most new car dealers? Maybe it’s time for you to get some
straight facts about automobile values and just what’s impor
tant in today's confusing transportation market. The people in
North Georgia to see for straight talk and honest values are
H. H. RUSSELL & SON USED CAR LOT on Hwy. 27, Sum
merville Rd. in Rome, open Monday-Saturday 7:30 to 8:30,
phone 232-3820 and ask for Jerry or H. H. They’re THE used
car, truck, camper and motorcycle specialists!
With every manufacturer cutting corners, trying to get pro
duction up and costs down...quality must suffer. H. H.
RUSSELL & SON USED CAR LOT is one lot where you can
still get a car ‘‘built like they used to build em!”’ Every vehicle
that comes in is completely inspected and reconditioned before
it goes on the lot, and the result is a better, more reliable car
than even many new car dealers can offer.
Sound too good to be true? There’s only one way to find out
for yourself, and that is to drop in at H. H. RUSSELL & SON
USED CAR LOT and look over their lot full of values! The
writers of this 1982 Business Review of Rome would like to in
form all Chattooga County readers we know that you're in for a
rare experience in quality and perfection. Oh yes . . . if you feel
like trading in your “‘new’’ car, we won't tell.
