Quality Goes C7earHo4yh

There is, we believe, in simply case after
case, deeper reason for the selection
of the bort than the merit of the car.
True, the well-known excellence Of
the bort in performance and the fact
that it is known to operate at measur-
ably lower cost per mile are unqucstion-
ably strong influences in the purchase.
But we like to think that aside and
apart from these reasons the determin-
ing factor in the decision is profound
faith in the bort Company.
The truth of the matter is that the name
bort has become inseparably associated
in the minds of people with dcep-seated
integrity and careful skill in manu-
facture.
Each added bort that goes into use
serves not only to provide fresh evidence
as to the quality of the car but also to
emphasize anew the high ideals of the
company that builds it.
