 Each of these great institutions will retain its identity, and will continue, as heretofore, 10 produce and market it's own product in accord ance with the high and progressive standards from which motor car buyers the world over have previously benefited.
 Each will benefit from the consdmmaton of a plan which unites such tremendous resources in material, manufacturing facilities, financial power and manufacturing genius.
