CHEVROLET PRICE REDUCTION

Substantial price reductions, eff
fective June 2, on all Chevrolet pas
senger cars and trucks were an,
nounced by w. e. Holler, general
sale manager of the Chevrolet Motor
Company. Chevrolet now offers it's
lowest priced six at $465. The
sweeping reduction is as much as
$50 on some models. The effective
price reductions on all models were
made in an effort to maintain, DUR
ing the rest of the year, the employ
ment figures so necessary to the gem
eral program of national recovery
Reduction on the knec-action
master models was as high as $35
On the popular types. The sedan
was reduced to $640, coach to $3.50.
the coupe to $3.50, and the town Sc
dan to $615. Prices on the newly
announced Standard models placed
the roadster at $465, the coupe at
$4S5, and the coach and phaeton at
$495. Reductions on truck models
were equally as impressive, running
as high as $50.
Increased automotive sales pro-
longing factory employment and
proving potent factor in the ma
itonal recovery program, are ex-
pected by M. E. Holler, general
iales manager of the Chevrolet
Motor Company, as result of the
price reduction now in effect on all
Chevrolet passenger cars and trucks.
The reduction, announced June /,
and effective the following Gay, not
only brings all Chevrolet trucks and
Chevrolet Master knee-action models
to the lowest price since the intro
duction of the 1884 line, but applies
also to the new Standard passenger
cars formally introduced on June z
at 62 General Motors exhibits thru
out the country. These models
were already the lowest-pri:ed cara
of six or more cylinders ON the
market.
No changes whatever, Mr.. Holler
pointed out, have been made either
in the product or in the equipment
included in its price. The reduction
reflects Chevrolet's success in reach
ing high volume production with its
1884 line, and maintaining it con-
sistently by reason of strong pub
lie demand. 1t is, also, frank bid
for continuation of that demand.

MANY people," Mr.. Doughton
said, land not just farmers either,
have the mistaken idea that, because
the Farm Credit Administration was
created by act of Congress, it is a
charitable organization; many peo-

money. Such belief is not well
founded. Except for monies APP
propriated for certain emergency

funds from the investing public by
the sale of bonds and debentures.
And if anyoneswill only reflect for a
moment or two, he will redily un-

The marines are delivering body
punches to the unemployment situa-

iod, when but few applicants were
enlisted, the famous corps has start
ed to accept 1850 youths.
The provisions of a recent act OF
Congress increased the strength OF
the corps from $1,000 to 10000.
This will leave it still 1900 below
the strength of three years ago.
The remainder will be required to
fill the places left vacant by dis
charges and other causes.
With view to obtaining the best
men, orders from headquarters in
Washington direct that only those
who have attended high school, OF
have an equivalent education, will
be enlisted. While it is desired to
secure applicants at least SO inches
in height, recruiting officers are per-
mitted to accept 20 of their quota
between &c and 68 inches. The
minimum age is Is years, but a few
boys to learn tile drum and trumpet
are being accepted between II and
Is years. Parents consent for
those who have not reached their
majority and character references
are required. lnlistments ale for

against making unsound loans, not
only for it's own welfare and that OF
its borrowers, but also for the pro-
lection of those people and institu-

to it by purchasing its bonds and
other evidences of indebtedness"
Mr.. Doughton, who was reared In
the rural sections of North Carolina,
was for a number of years engaged
in the banking and mortgage loan
business. At one time he was chief
