SMITH MOTOR CO. ~ O’NEILL ANNOUNCE NEW LOWER PRICES! Now! Greater Value Than Ever! * Substantial Reductions on All ’53 Models! EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, the retail prices of all 1953 DeSoto and Plymouth cars are substantially reduced, bringing you the greatest DeSoto and Plymouth values in history. WHEN THE 1 953 DeSotos and Plymouths were intro duced last fall, even though completely new and ad vanced in design, they were priced on a hold - the - line basis. DeSoto and Plymouth emphasized then their con stant aim of quality, performance, safety and comfort at decreased, rather than increased, prices. And they pinned their faith on volume to achieve this objective. THE REMOVAL of production controls has made it pos sible to produce DeSoto and Plymouth cars at the highest rate in many months. Now that higher volume is being achieved and DeSoto and Plymouth can reasonably expect it to continue, they are lowering their prices accordingly. ‘ . . ' 3 .. PRICE REDUC HONS apply to the entire line ... all body types of DeSoto and Plymouth. We will be glad to give you complete details about the new prices. THESE FINE MOTOR CARS, long famous for greater value, continue to bring you the quality features of higher priced cars in their class . . . now at even lower cost to you!
