Ever since automobile making be-
gan the changes and Surprises sprung
by the master minds OF the motoreve-
shicIe trade have been so rapid and 80
constant that the old cry. VIII won
ders never cease ?.' has long since
been thrown into the discard. The
motoring world Is ready to take al
most anything as possible In the line
OF motor car&construetion. but It can
be honestly said that even the Wisest
and most farseefng were not prepared
for the sensation which has been
sprung by w C Dufant, in Offering
3 fullhedged five.passenger automo-
bile for less than SIS O0-something
that no one In the trade has looked
ever possible. But the Chevrolet
..Four-Nfnety.'' the name OF the car,
which happily tells the price at the
same time. the latest product Of the
wonderful genius OF Mr. Durant, has
discounted and double discounted all
the ideas Of those who had reached
the conclusion that the motor vehicle
trade had reached rock bottom.

The main feature of the Chevrolet

The Chevrolet "F'our-Ninety -
not the product Of newcomer 70
the automobile trade, nor OF mush-
room factory. but is fathered by one
OF the greatest men in the American
motor car trade. the man who has
done as many or more big things
than anyone ever connected with au-
tnrnobile building. He is the 81
Durant who formed the General Mo-
tors Company. a 100000 corpo-
ration he same w. G. Durant III
whom. the banks had confidence
enouEhst 10 loan S rs 900 900 in panic
times, and who was far-seeing enough
to have ultimately placed in the front
ranks OF the automobile Industry
concern that paid It's stockholders
last year 8. 900. 600 In dividends.
He is the same W. C. Durant who
picked for the great COMPANY such
winners as the Buick. Cadillac, OldE-
mobile and Oakland. and who has
good ground for his confidence that
in the Chevrolet ..Four-Ninety he
has picked still another winner for
himself. One would hardly expect
such a man TO merely attempt to fol-
low Others. but rather that one
should set the pace. And along new
lines that is what he aims to do. In
putting out the "Four-Ninety" Chew
rolet his purpose has been to give the
public the car it has all along been
anxious to get-an automobile at
low figure, with easy riding qualities,
power and speed. and, above all. Of
an appearance that gave no indica-
ton OF any sacrifice Of style and in
siEh for econmy's sake.
