CHEVROLET OUTPUT
GREATLY INCREASED

Responding to an unprecedented
and enthusiastic demand on the part
of the public for the most beautiful
Chevrolet in Chevrolet history with
its numerous refinements at lowered
prices, the Chevrolet Motor Company
during February again smashed all
previous monthly production records
by producing 1881 cars.
February production this year show
ed an increase of 34,518 cars or more
than 67 per cent over the total of
51,3O3 Chevrolets built in February,
1925.
Despite greatly enlarged facilities
provided under the $10,000,000 expan-
sion program completed Dec. 1, 1926,
the Chevrolet Motor Company was
forced to extend it's operations by
working overtime, day and night, to
meet the nationwide demand for
Chevrolet cars-a demand marking
the rise of this company to its position
as the largest manufacturer of gear
shift cars in the world.
There is only one reason for the
phenomenal growth in popularity OF
the Chevrolet car" said W.. S. Knud-
sen, president of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, land that is-it has pleased
the public. 1t has met the desire OF
the public for high grade car, OF
exceptional quality and performance,
at reasonable price. 1t is this con-
stantly growing approval of the Chew
rolet car that is causing the company
to extend its production to meet the
increasing demand"
In the first two months of 1925 the
Chevrolet Motor Company built 49,
373 cars; in the same period in 1926
it built 97,740 and in January and
February of this year it totaled
159,497 cars-an increase in two years
for this period of 1924 cars.

CREAMERY
PAYS 8 PER CENT DIVIDEND

That we'll patronized cooperative
organizations are profitable to the

creamery had received $266,00O for
