living by air land and water these treasures of enterprise are sent out to every point of the compass no job is too big for american industry nothing is too where the plodding work going to pullman times labored alone with neither guidance nor help needing no sexten to the quality industrial america marshals resources science and power only limited to bring a quality product the greatest american manufacturers maintain vast libraries of technical books records and informational data this earnest effort to make every possible improvement applies to even the smallest things the greatest example of american success is the motor car of quality any place on earth you will find america's automobiles serving the people even in borneo the home of the legendary wild man the boulevard in many cities scenes like this are duplicated every minute millions know intimately interesting places like the grand canyon which were named only to the house tied generations of former times farms are brought close to the cities and families in the country keep in touch with all that is doing the american farmer enjoys the world's highest standard a country living scientific production of quality  immense resources greater than any other in the world that have earned a public preference unequalled it is no accident that the low price of modern six some of the automobile has been elected as the world's most popular car over eight million buyers have recognized the great american value and have chosen for their own the motor car now bought by more people than any other weighing the best do they not only secure better performance convenience and luxury for themselves but they also supply the incentive and resources to make possible even greater values for tomorrow all these motor cars furnish american industry the automobile consumes over fifteen percent of all steel produced one half of all malleable iron over two thirds of all plate glass over one  to say nothing of paying the railroads hundreds of millions of dollars a year for carrying thousands of car loads of freight general motors makes almost half of all motor cars and the largest member of the general mo family chevrolet is the largest maker of automobiles in the world and ever mounting call for raw materials is sent both by the demand for complete modern transportation purchases of the finest materials are made in tremendous quantities from mines forests and fields in every region of the united states in steady stream millions upon millions of dollars in payment go back to support miners producers farmers and makers of supplies power water power coal and plenty of it is purchased to keep the far flung factories going to member from silent forest that spread over the nation's mountain slopes selected loves in an enormous quantities  rivers and carried on good by railed as well as water all markets must be scoured to find materials that meet quality standards from which there must be no b b a should the purchase of all these supplies is the world's biggest shopping job no manufacturer in the world uses so much iron and steel as the makers of the great american value but materials in the lot need the touch of skilled the gear teeth perfectly and stops of its own accord just when the job is finished this makes possible low cost and bring to the man of modest means all the advantages of fine car transportation after every cutting inspections are made gauges that test the gears and final inspections are themselves tested regularly every synchromesh gear must match perfectly demand for six  twenty tons every time it comes down fifty eight thousand pounds of pressure come with it is needed to make the million six cylinder engines demanded annually by the american people in the production of the hundreds of parts necessary to make this modern low priced quality motor every point is protected by is needed machines grow constantly more intricate they need the watchful guidance of well paid operators and every man earns more because of the machine that helps him in his work day by day mechanical giants like these open their jaws and give both a product for which the engineering genius of men has fashioned them this automatic frame assembly plant is oh one great machine extending over four city blocks and electrically controlled through all steel plates all put in at one end and assembled frames come out the other these factories and machines are only giant tools under the control of many thousands of man whose daily work is giving the public better performance new luxury and greater convenience in transportation no manufacturer pays his workers more than the makers of chevrolet hometown's even cities have been built around its factories let's take a look at some more of these machines and the guardians machines that are doing work which men alone could never do what do you think of the press that weighs four hundred fifty six thousand pounds pressing at one operation the whole of society panel of an automobile in one piece safeguard thrown about every operation and movement this mighty monster cannot move until its master puts both hands on the safety bar plain sheet of steel under this three hundred thousand pound munster in half a second think how long it would take the workman of a few generations back to turn out even one of these body parts
