I | livery single General Motors car assembled in New Zealand helps provide employment for hundreds of New Zealand workmen . . , 4 1 ■ T here is only one . . DESPITE any claims that have been made, General Motors is the only motor-car company that has invested in a complete assembling and finishing factory in New Zealand, For this reason, it alone is able to use every available New Zealand material—woollen upholstery fabrics, timber, varnishes, luggage-carriers, bumpers, etc.—in the famous group of cars it produces. To keep assembly lines moving in ' this factory requires the skill and labour of hundreds of New Zealand workmen. Hundreds more, dealers, salesmen and mechanics, are selling and servicing General Motors’ cars throughout the country.
