Two vast buildings covering a total area, of over 133,000 square feet, where Chevrolet cars ami trucks are completely assembled by New Zealand labor, and where over 1150 New Zealand men and women are employed. The Petone Works of General Motors, New Zealand Limited, have now commenced operations. Here, where just seven months ago was a vacant expanse of unproductive ground, now stand two vast buildings, covering a total area ot’ 133.000. square feet. \ A huge, operation that reflects the continence of General Motors in the industrial future of the Dominion and their desire to render more complete service to the New Zealand ear buyer. The most important activity centres on the assembly of Chevrolet cars and trucks. Absolutely every process necessary to this work is being carried out. Here all necessary parts come in, separately grouped and boxed to effect the maximum saving in freight, and, under modern production methods, are built up into the complete vehicle, ready for the road. To the tune of a riveter the frame grows together and swings into place on tho assembly line. From an overhead conveyor the engine drops into position, and—-operation by operation — the chassis moves along, taking shape and form ns it moves. Here, 100. genuine Fisher Bodies are completely built up from hundreds of separate wood and steel units, and their metal sheathing electrically welded and Dueo finished. Even the upholstery and hoods are made un right on the snot by a battery of machines. And thus the Chevrolet reaches the end of the line, a car as finely complete as any modern motor plant could produce — vet with approximately 3.000 distinct operations in its ..manufacture having been performed by New Zealand hands. Bo now. when von buy a Chevrolet, you will know that it has been completely assembled by New Zealand labor in a New Zealand factory—and that when you buv you tire contributing directly to the economic welfare of your country.
