Some "eye-opening" facts for every American motorist:
Have you ever talked
to a Kaiser owner?
iHH*
Si* years ago, we at Ksiwr-Frazer began
with the belief that Americans wauled a new
kind of automobile.
With no preconceived prejudice*, we
atarted from scratch to bring the public
a new and better car.
Today I wish yon could sit with me and read
the letter* that come in daily from many of
our 600,000 owners ? telling of almost
unbelievable mileage without a single repair
bill, and of driving day after day ai more than
20 miles a gallon. Mont of them *ay the 1951
Kaiser ia a brand new adventure in economy,
safety and great performance!
That's why Pd like you to tafL to a friend or
neighbor who drives a Kaiser. His experience
will tell you better than I can why yoa, too,
should be driving a Kaiser this year!
