To say that buyers of low-priced cara are smaller physically than those of higher priced ones is plain foolishness," Bays Mr. Frazer. "Furthermore, owing to the pre- valence of larger familles among

those in more moderate financial circumstances, low-priced cars. gen- erally carry more persons per car than those of higher price. The former is truly the family car-the only one that family has. It serves both parents and children alike at all times.

"Commensurate to his pocket book, the buyer of a low-priced car wants and has the right to expect just as much as the manufacturer can possibly give him in size, com- fort, distinctiveness, performance, style and luxuriousness, as the man who can afford to pay more. Some- how, everyone seems to have over looked that until now, when it is brought out forcibly in the new Plymouth.
