The theory is that the diet of the poorer class is depleted of the necessary foods with the coming of lower prices and less cash, while with good prices green foods, milk and eggs are restored to the diet, precluding a wide appearance of the di- i crease.

The returns from the series of the messages * recently published have justified that faith; end we shall continue to advertise in your community through your newspaper this fall. It occur-, to me, however, that some of your readers may be asking: "What is General Motors?" ar.d "Why is General Motors?" There are fair questions and I should like to answer them as frankly as I can. General Motors was organized some years ego on the theory that a group of large com panies, w orking together, could render a better service than they could separately. In this we sim; !y applied to industry a principle that is as old as civilization as regards the human family and human progress. Original members of the General Motors family were Euick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oak land ar. 1 Oldsmofcilc. together with the Delco- Light Company ar.d c-tl cr well-known com panies manufacturing automotive equipment. Ey joining together their resources, we were able to establish great Research Laboratories, a Proving Ground ar.d the GMAC Flan of credit purchase; to effect vast econ omic: i*i purchase ar.d manufacture and distribution: to assure r,v\ main: uinthequnlity eft very rrnduct tn tkoC. rural Motors family. r". ■ c General Motors family principle pr- .v. 1 Ucolf ir. practice?

Un ' i less this is in first-class order , all other machines are worth less. ! The merchant, if he is up to-date. once a year at least goes over his stock and takes an inventory.

When the human machine gives out it is a total loss. A health examination is a precautionary matter. Often certain parts of the human body are not functioning prop- ' erly. Just a little adjustment , as to diet, habits, or exercise ' will usually relieve the strain and soon we are in perfect, . normal condition again. 1 ' If you go to your family doc- ' tor and he says you are all right and do not need going ;' over, go to some other doctor.

Just to know that you are all right will be worth many times what the examina tion costs. We can always do Then add Pontiac, a General Motors crea tion. Add LaSalle, another General Motors creation. And then consider how General Motors has developed these cars into a com plete 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 manu facture the same processes which have in creased the utility and lowered the cost of the automobile. We believe that this record justifies General Motors as an economic institution. Its prod ucts are quality products, first of all. Their prices represent the economies of united effort passed on to the purchaser. In the last year one in each three automobiles chosen by the public has been a General Motors car. The service of Delco-Light electric plants has extended to more than a quarter million homes, while Frigidaire has become the world's largest sell ing convenience of its kind. We believe also that the values now offered in the current General Motors products (which are listed below) prove anew that "many minds are better than one" and that a family of companies, working together, can produce results which are decidedly in the public interest and of increasing benefit to the individual family.
