We have just been notified by the Chrevolet Motor
Company that the price of their cars, which now sells for
$390 delivered, will be advanced to $675 on the first of Au
gust. We have bought three car loads of these cars, part
of which will arrive this afternoon. They will be sold at
the old price this month only.
This car speaks for itself. It cannot be duplicated
when it conies to beauty of workmanship, motor power,
and durability. We invite the public to inspect our stock.
Place your order early, as you only have twenty days to
buy at the old price.
