it MORE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT Compare these facts JULY 1934 © Twelve months ago, in July, 1934, we presented the public of New Zealand with the following facts in support of our statement that New Zealanders should buy General Motors Cars and Trucks: BECAUSE at that time 365 New Zealanders were employed in the General Motors Factory at Petone. BECAUSE £7,800 per month was paid in salaries and wages. BECAUSE the amount spent locally on the purchase of materials and in operating and miscellaneous costs (exclusive of salaries and wages) was at the rate of £24,500 per month. JULY 1935 © Now, in July, 1935, we approach you a second time with facts and figures that offer even more convincing proof that your new car or truck should be a General Motors product: BECAUSE 540 New Zealanders are now employed in the General Motors factory at Petone. BECAUSE £11,500 per month is now paid in salaries and wages. BECAUSE the amount spent locally on the purchase of materials and in operating and miscellaneous costs (exclusive of salaries and wages) is now at the rate of £38,000 per month. It is not only good business but also sound economics to support, by your purchases, the policy of assembling cars and trucks in New Zealand and so help to create more employment in the Dominion ♦ At the same time remember that when you buy a General Motors vehicle you obtain the best value for every New Zealand pound you spend in its purchase* GENERAL MOTORS N.Z.
