I Back OF this unobtrusive an.
nouncement lies d story Of another
noteworthy successful native son.
It was two years ago this month
that Mr.. CLANCY first appeared on
the horizon of the automobile In,

stepped from the train in Detroit
and was driven out woodward Ave

where less than six months later
he became the chief executive OF
the Oakland division OF the Gen.
eral Motors Corporation.
During this past two years he
has amazed the industry with his
remarkable achievements Under his
leadership the Oakland Motor Car
Company has advanced from a
minor factor in the industry, tena-
ciously clinging to thirteenth posi-.
ton in volume, to one of the seven
largest motor car manufacturers
in the world.
In the same period, the company
has enjoyed the most successful
growth in its 10 years OF existence
Under his direction, the new
Pontiac six was introduced at the
New York Automobile show 10
months ago. and since that time
has broken all production records
for the first year for any new make

long history. more than 900 ears

only be measured by the fact that
little more than a year ago the
same factory was rated with q
maximum capacity of $50 cars per
day.
During this same period the
dealer organization has more than
doubled, with more than 1000 new
dealers casting their lot with the
