THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST SALESROOMS
The salesroom of the New York Branch of the Buick Motor Company at 55th Street and Broadway, New York, sells and delivers more cars and more dollars worth of automobiles than any other salesroom in the world. And its sales are increasing all the time.
This Bulok Branch delivered, during 1928, 24,565 now Bulcks, representing a cash value of $89,591,918. In 1924, It is expected that about 80,000 cars will be delivered, a business of over $50,000,000. Few if any of the great New York department stores will do as great a volume of business.
-
From August 1, 1928 to May 16, 1924, deliveries of this Branch amounted to 20,139 Buicks as compared with 16,295 deliveries for the same period the preceding year. This represents an increase of 8,844 cars, or a 28-4% gain. Sales of this Branch for the first two weeks of May 1924, wore 1,281 Bulcks as compared with 945 sold in the same period last year. This is an increase of over 80%. It is no wonder that a record breaking volume of business is expected for the new season.
Because the value of Bulck output has each year been greater than that of any other exhibitor, Bulck has held first place in every National Automobile Show in the United States during the last six years. In 1928, Buick sold 218,516 motor cars, representing a value of $802,752,050 not including war tax or freight. In the New York district alone 12-5/10% of the 88,026 new cars sold in 1928 were Buicks,
