Woman Buys Horse to Pension Him Chevrolet prices are not the lowest on the market, yet Chevrolet economical transportation averages lowest in cost. This average cost considers the purchase price, interest on investment, depreciation and all operating and maintenance costs. A detailed comparison with any other car in the low priced field will convince you that Chevrolet is the best buy because of its superior quality and because the purchase price includes full equipment. More than a million Chevrolets are now in use. Twelve huge plants are now building them at the rate of twenty-fiv- e hundred per working day . Nearly one-ha- lf million Chevrolet9 were bought in 1923 far exceeding in number the sales of any other quality car. Thus, our statements have the strongest possible backing, namely, the faith and patronage of the American people who know automobiles and know practical values better than any other people on earth. Let any one of our seven thousand dealers show you our seven types of cars and explain how easy it is to get one and enjoy its use.
