DE SOTO FOLLOWS
ITS NAMESAKE in
ACQUIRING FAME

Just as fernando De Soto, that
dauntless explorer and discoverer of
the Mississippi river, became a lead
er among the pioneers of his time,
so his namesake, the De Soto Six
automobile, because of its inbult
qualities of power, stamina, per-
formance ability and style, achieved
a high ranking among American
made automobiles of this day, ac-
eor6ng to L. G. Peed, general sales
manager of the De Soto Motor cor
poration.
When De Soto. Knight of Santi-
ago, governor of Cuba and Aaelan-
tado Of Florida, with his 600 picked
Spanish and Portuguese soldiers,
spent three years in cutting through
the virgin forests Of that territory
which now consists OF the states of
Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, he became
the first white man recorded in the
pages of history to penetrate the
interior of North America for more
than few miles. He was not only
the leader of his own soldiers and
leader Of the people whom he gov
erned, but he was Il leader among
all explorers of his time. He was
name that was synonymous with
success.
"Emulating the success of this
great leader, the De Soto automo-
bile has achieved 4 remarkably high
ranking among automobile in the
comparatively short period ot time
that il has been manufactured" de-
clared Peed. "Starting in August
1921, new car, unknown 10 the
general public and with no sales or
ganization to sell it. the De Soto to-
day has reached 4 commanding pos
ition in the field Of low priced skies.
In its first year of manufacture, in
addition to building up a gigantic
merchandising organization that
covers not only this country but
every civilized country in the
world. the De Soto Six set 4 record
breaking pace in sales. At the end
OF the first year manufacture, ST.,
065 ears had been built and sold.
The one hundred thousandth ear was
produced during the fourteenth
month Of manufacture and now. at
the end Of II months, the production
and sales figures are still rising rap
idly. No other car of any make at
any price ever climbed so high IN
so short a time"
