The Product of Experience
I have secured the agency for the Alliance territory for the
well known Chevrolet automobiles. The Chevrolet is abso
lutely the lowest priced car that is equipped with electric
lights and electric starter. The Chevrolet "Four Ninety"
sells in Alliance at the price of $600. This price
is the price to you here there are no extras
The Chevrolet is the car that fulfills
the ideals and demonstrates the high-
ert development of American design

more value visible and invisable in the Chevrolet
"Four-Ninety" than in any other car at its price in
America. I don't ask you to take my word for it alone.
