Community leader. Independent merchant. This General Motors dealer is both. He's a good neighbor in many ways. Such as providing automobiles for driver training classes or making his facilities available for civic meetings. He's active in community affairs, youth activities and other worthwhile projects. More than likely, he's a church member, club member, participator-the kind of man you'd like to have living next door. His business is service.. . and he knows his business. He wins customers by sell- ing good products. He keeps customers by servicing those products. Customer good will is his primary asset. He earns it by his continuing efforts to make owning a General Motors car a truly satisfying experience. He's a good man to know.
