Also, it buys more Australian tyres, batteries, wool for weaving upholstery fabrics, paint, and duco than any other motor industry.

"By these and other purchases the company contributes to the support of some 16,000 Austra- lians in various industries and, in addition, pays £5,351,000 annually in wages to 1,500 of its own workers, The 591 dealers who sell and service General Motor's products pay over 3,000 Austra- lian employees approximately £750,000 annually.
