INCREASE IN PRODUCT

"a week ago by Chevrolet execut-
ives that the country is in the

year existance of the company
Mr.. Knudson pointed out.
On top of the high performan

Chevrolet factories are building
cars as fast as procession method
will permit, with the expectation
that April, despite having two
less working days than March,
will show practically as high a
production volume as the month
just ended. Mr.. Knudsen stated
that still higher records are pos
'sible when a new assembly plant
with capacity of $50 cars a day
which is shortly to be opened at
Atlanta, gets under way to aug
Iment the output of the other
factories.
An unusual feature of the
March output was the fact that
more than 1890 units of the
total volume were absorbed by
the domestic market to assure
all dealers of an adequate mum
Der for prompt delivery.
