Edwards earned his board when he vvns In college by waiting tables and washing dishes. It took less time than other work would have done, and the time he spent in doing these things would probably not have been very profitably employed on his studies had he not worked during thes hours. When Edwards whs leaving college d one of his professors suid to him : 1 "When you marry, George, shouldn't tell my wife, If I were you, how I earned my living as an undergraduate." "Oh, I am not ashamed of It," George answered. "I-Isn't that," the professor replied. "It's Just this way.

Thc:e arc. fair questions and I should like to answer them as frankly as I can. General IVTotors'vas organized some years r.ro on the theory that a group of large companies, working together, could render a better service than they cou'd separately. In this we s;mr1y applied to industry a principle thrt is es old .3 cu ilization aa regards the human family and I.urnrn progress. Original members cf the General Motors family. were Euick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oakland and Oldsmobile, together with the Delco-LigCompany and ether companies manufacturing automotive equipment. By joining together their resources, we were able to establish great Research Laboratories, e a Proving Ground and the GMAC Plan of credit purchase; to effect vast economies in purchase and manufacture and distribution ; to assure ancLmainlainthequality of every product in the General Motors family. Has the General Motors family principle proved itself in practice? The best answer, I think, is to compare the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Cldsmobile and Oakland of today with the models of five or ten years ago. whv aejin-uiur- George U.

Add LaSalle, another General Motors creation. And then consider how General Motors has developed these cars into a complete line, within which any family may find a suitable quality car at the price it plans to pay: "A Car for Every Purse and Purpose.' Another example is Frigidaire, the electric refrigerator. General Motors had the resources to spend millions to develop a satisfactory refrigerator, and then to apply to its manufacture the same processes which have increased the utility and lowered the cost of the automobile. We believe that this record justifies General Motors as an economic institution. Its products are quality products, first of all. Their prices represent the economies of united effort passed on to the purchaser. In the last year ore in each three automobiles chosen nubl'-h- as tl'c by been a General Motors car. The service cf t electric plants has extended to more than a quarter million homes, v.hile lrgidaire has become the world's largest ceiling convenience of its kind.
