Automobile Insurance That Really
PROTECTS
Kegardless of the price you pay for automobile
insurance its worth is commensurate only with the
amount of protection it really affords.
At critical moments many car owners have found
that insurance purchased at high rates did not fully
protect.
The accidents retorted in any daily paper should
convince you that driving a car without adequate pro
tection is foolhardy.
Your name may ap|x*ar in tomorrow’s paper!
We offer you absolute protection, and at most rea
sonable rates. v
Compare our rates and service before insuring.

An Ancient Art—
A Modern Industry
Royalty once rode in a coach.
Such a coach represented many years of work and
experience by a master builder whose craft has
been dignified for centuries as an art.
But Royalty—and Success —now ride in motor cars.
And the service performed by the coach builder
has become the heritage of the manufacturer of
automobile bodies.
Demand has multiplied the product a thousand
fold, yet the occupation has remained an art —an
art in which excellence is attained only by the
supreme skill of hand, eye and brain.
To retain all the advantages of the veteran coach
builder’s loving handiwork, and to reproduce it
faithfully in every detail, from modem materials
and by modem, labor-saving machinery, is—and
always has been —the dominant purpose of the
Fisher Body Corporation.
lishei Bodies
have certain characteristics best
known to the great army which
daily rides in them.
The v have been built to the limits of
the most skilled Twentieth Century)
coach builder's ideals of comfort and
beauty.
Their durability has been proved fully
equal to that of the chassis for which
each was designed.
Even after long service . they have re
mained free from rattle or squeak .
These qualities are exemplified to
the highest degree in Fisher Body
Corporation closed and convertible
bodies, several of which are illus
trated on this page.
An Industrial
Alliance
The Fisher Body Corporation has
no sales department and accepts no
orders for individual bodies.
Its entire output is sold in advance
to a certain group of leading motor
car manufacturers.

This group has remained virtually
unchanged for many years ah
though, as these years have passed,
each of these manufacturers ha*
tremendously expanded his opera
tions.
The Fisher Body Corporation ha*
kept pace with this expansion until
it now employs more than 6,000
men. in plants containing more
than 2,000.000 square feet of floor
space and producing more than
375,000 bodies yearly.
Fisher Bodies—*
All of Them
Fisher bodies—open and closed
are built for cars which sell at a
wide range of price. The bodies
differ correspondingly in size,
weight and elaborateness of ap
pointment. Yet the Fisher Body
Corporation has built into each of
these bodies the same broad, char
acteristic qualities of merit for
which its product has become
noted throughout the automobile
industry.
