E. Nance, well known local automobile dealer who has returned from Charlotte where he attended the annual convention of Chevrolet dealers from North and South Carolina.

More than 4000 American newspapers are now being used regularly; and the great co-operative advertising program how being carried on in addition to the vast national campaign, has made a consistent advertiser out of every Chevrolet dealer and put the Chevro let message before the newspaper readers in practically every city, town, village and hamlet in the United States. “Without question”, says Mr. Nance, “the great sales record of 1925 which totaled more than half a million Chevrolet cars and trucks, will be eclipsed during the present year. At this time, sales are far ahead of the production schedule and all of the twelve manufacturing plants op erated by the Chevrolet organization are running at capacity in an attempt to keep up with the unprecedented demand for the Chevrolet product.” Throughout, Hie United States, Chevrolet sales are piling up rapidly.
