Sales increasing every month. | Ahead of last year. ' The sheer newness of the 'car, the balanced value that anyone can see and feel, the good old spring sunshine that warms hearts and thaws out cold feet —make a combina tion that a lot of folks can’t resist — forever. Stop any Pontiac owner anywhere and ask him what he thinks of his Pontiac Econ omy Straight Eight. Ask any automobile man what the men in the business think of Pontiac. Everywhere, there is the greatest enthusiasm ever ac-> corded a Pontiac. Never in our history have so many owners written and phoned us to say how pleased they are with their new Pontiacs. Every day Pontiacs are at tracting new buyers—by their looks, their performance, their comfort, their safety, their economy, their durability and their low price. Don’t resist temptation too long get one now. You’ll be in good company — and big company. All closed cars have Fisher bodies, with Fisher No Draft Ventilation for cool summer driving. MOTOR CO.
