Hardin Crash Kills Alger Father One man was killed and three other persons were injured in a We want to thank our customers and pro spective customers for your friendly patience while awaiting your new Chevrolets. We know it is a hardship to wait for needed transportation but we believe you will understand that we, and Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as you are to obtain them. Unfortunately, production so far this year is far under expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division sums up the situation thus: “Even though our rate of production normally exceeds that of any other manufacturer, we have been able to build, up to July 1, only 12.4 per cent as many cars as we had built up to 'that date in 1941. Production is still far below normal, because of fre quent shortages of essential mate rials and parts. Strike after strike at the plants of our suppliers has seriously impeded our progress toward full production, and the cumulative effect severely hampers every manu facturing and assembly plant. In June we were able to build only 29.2 per cent as many cars as we produced in the same month in 1941.” While production is restricted, so—in proportion—are shipments of cars to us As production increases, we are assured of getting our proportionate share of the total—and as quickly as cars are received, we will speed deliveries to our customers THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON.
