As We Grow
Older
Proper Kidney Action Is More Than
Ever Important.
AS we grow older, there is
apt to be a gradual slow-
ing up of bodily functions. The
kidneys are the blood filters.
If their action becomes slug-
gish they do not thoroughly
cleanse the blood of poisonous
wastes. This tends to make one
tired and achy, with often
nagging backache, drowsy
headaches and dizziness. A
common symptom of imperfect
kidney action is scanty or burn-
ing excretions. Elderly people
recommend Doan’s Pills. This
tested diuretic is endorsed the
country over. Ask your neighs

L/AST SPRING I wrote you that my belief
in the country newspaper had led us in General
Motors to decide to advertise our products
together in the small-city press of the country.
The returns from the series of the messages
recently published have justified that faith;
and we shall continue to advertise in your
community through your newspaper this fall.
It occurs to me, however, that some of your
readers may be asking: “What is General
Motors?” and “Why is General Motors?”
These are fair questions and I should like to
answer them as frankly as I can.
General Motors was organized some years
ago on the theory that a group of large com-
panies, working together, could render a better
service than they could separately. In this we
simply applied to industry a principle that is
as old as civilization as regards the human
family and human progress.
Original members of the General Motors
family were Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oak-
land and Oldsmobile, together with the Delco-
Light Company and other well-known com-
panies manufacturing automotive equipment.
By joining together their resources, we were
able to establish great Research Laboratories,
a 1245-acre Proving Ground and the GMAC
Plan of credit purchase; to effect vast econ-
omies in purchase and manufacture and
distribution; to assure and maintain the quality
of every product in the General Motors family.
Has the General Motors family principle
proved itself in practice?
The best answer, I think, is to compare the
Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile and
Oakland of today with the models of five or
ten years ago.
Then add Pontiac, a General Motors crea-
tion. Add LaSalle, another General Motors
creation. And then consider how General
Motors has developed these cars into a com-
plete line, within which any family may find
a suitable quality car at the price it plans to
pay: “A Car for Every Purse and Purpose.”
Another example is Frigidaire, the electric
refrigerator. General Motors had the resources
to spend millions to develop a satisfactory
refrigerator, and then to apply to its manu-
facture the same processes which have in-
creased the utility and lowered the cost of the
automobile.
We believe that this record justifies General
Motors as an economic institution. Its prod-
ucts are quality products, first of all. Their
prices represent the economies of united effort
passed on to the purchaser. In the last year one
in each three automobiles chosen by the public
has been a General Motors car. The service of
Delco-Light electric plants has extended to
more than a quarter million homes, while
Frigidaire has become the world’s largest sell-
ing convenience of its kind.
We believe also that the values now offered
in the current General Motors products
(which are listed below) prove anew that
“many minds are better than one” and that a
family of companies, working together, can
produce results which are decidedly in the
public interest and of increasing benefit to the
individual family.
Very truly yours,
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., President
General Motors Corporation
