Responding to an unprecedented
and enthusiastic demand on Hie part
of the public for "the most beautiful
Chevrolet in Chevrolet history” with
its numerous refinements at lowered
prices, tlie Chevrolet Motor Company
during February again smashed all
previous monthly production records
by producing 85,821 cars.
February production this year
showed an increase of 34,518 cars or
more than 67 per cent over the total
of 51.303 Chevrolets built in February,
1926.
Despite greatly enlarged facilities
provided under the $10,000,000 expan-
sion program completed December 1,
1926. the Chevrolet Motor Company
was forced Io extend its operations by
working overtime, day and night, to
meet the nation-wide demand for

who is kind of reckless with millions,
estimates that other items, such, las

figures up to over $20,000,000,000. But
let it go at $16,000,000,000.
