Chevrolet Gives Thanks
For Greatest Business
The Chevrolet Motor Company to
day offered its thanks to the Ameri
can people for having given the com
pany the greatest year in its history
by buying 1,130,000 new 1936 Che
W)lets. In display advertisements printed
"in newspapers throughout the coun
try, Chevrolet expressed its appre
ciation for the warm friendship of
the American people, which enabled
the company to break all previous
marks for domestic production and
sales.
The Thanksgiving offering is con
sidered unique in industrial advertis
ing, but Chevrolet has done it in the
. past. The company has depended
largely on the newspapers of the
'country in establishing its all-time
records in selling not only an unpre
cedented number of new passenger
cars and trucks during 1936, but
also in moving two million used cars
at the same time.
The advertisement, appearing to-
-day, declared, in part: "The builders
f Chevrolet are thankful for many
things, but most of all for the warm
friendship of the American people.
"All we can say is, "Thanks a mil
lion' for more than a million cars in
' 1986; and all we can do is offer you
'the still finer Chevrolet of 1937 in
return for the finest friendship ever
bestowed upon any motor car manufacturer."

ternoon. One such delightful party was held
nn TnpRHav afternoon in the Bur
gess neighborhood, when Mrs. Wal

hpr friends. The ladies, erouped

BOO&i
Value Of State Farm
Products Paints Bright
Agricultural Picture
The tremendous value of North
Carolina farm products tends to
paint the agricultural picture much
brighter than it really is.
This statement was made by Dr.
R. Y. Winters, director of the N. C.
Agricultural Experiment Station,
who has been keeping in close touch
with the agricultural situation.
For example, he said, the value of
North Carolina farm products sold
and consumed on the farm in 1934
was placed at $353,682,000, or ap
proximately twice as much as the
State average for the nation.
Yet, he pointed out, when one con
siders the large number of people
who must share the gross farm in
come, the allotment per person be
comes ridiculously small.
Moreover, he said, the gross value
does not take into account the cost
of producing these commodities. Many
farmers actually lose money when
all costs are deducted from their
gross income.
Back in 1926, when times were
comparatively good, he added, the
3xperiment station made a study of
vhite cotton and tobacco farmers in
Wake County.
Of the 294 land owners covered by
tl:z .survey, 42.3 percent had a larger
cash outlay for production than the
gross income from their sales. Of
the 300 tenants, 28.7 percent spent
more than their farm produce brought
on the market.
And these figures do not take into
account depreciation of equipment or
depreciation of land as a result of
bad farm practices, Dr. Winters stat
ed.
The experiment station, he continu
ed, is constantly working on the de
velopment of better systems of farm
ing and farm management that will
yield farmers a larger net profit.
