of these have been cars which have
cost up to $2.000.
“Because this average car is a
yearly model car and fades rapidly
it has to be taken at a low vulne-
tlon because of its low resale value.
Because of this depreciation charge
against the car is more than double
the oombincdcost of gasoline and
tires and exceeds the combined'cost
of operation and maintenance. in-
cluding garage rent. repairs and
every other etcm or expch-cxcept
depreciation.
“Motor car transportation is cost-
ing too much when it is purchased
on this basis. The cure obviously is
for owners to get more out to their
cars. Even if they must pay a high
or first cost their automobile ex-
pense is going to be cut down to a
reasonable amount by the purchase
or a. car which is protected from
yearly model dep eciation and which
is so built that i will gi , satisfac-
tory uninterrupted motoring service-
over a period of years d for more
than lou.000 miles rather than less
than ‘ienoo. .
"The motoring public is beginning
. to have a more wholesome respect
for this bunboo of depreciation. We
have learned this defl' "eiy from the
year's investigation we have made

in the depreciation cost," Mr. lilils

ENERAL MOTORS now presents thro
its Oakland division the New Pontiac ix
‘ -the first sixcylindcr car it has ever named and
sponsored from the original design.
Representing the supreme embodimentgf the

Six is destined to compel a complete revision of
existing ideas in motor car value.
The Pontiac Six is not another of the so-called
“revolutionary” cars. '
It is simply and solely a car of high quality
developed to dominate a definite market . and
as such represents an achievement no less signifi-
cant. no less unprecedented, no less epochal than
the invention of the first six—cylinder engine.
