done in it case like this?

There are many reasons for the ‘price of a motor car. The car may be built down to a selling price. The price may be forced up to a profit mark. There may be weight, size, speed, that you do not need. But the Gray Dort price is the lowest price at which a big, efficient organization can build a fine light car. The Gray Dort is built right first. It is built with real big car quality and comfort and appearance. lt is built to give you all the service you need, free from trouble. Then by

factory cfiicicricy the price is kept low. So when you buy ai Gray Dort you are putting every dollar into real motor cuz' value.. Ride in a Gray Dori riien you will see how g,rez1tlj.- cheaper cars fall short of it and how light car; higher-pricctl give you no more or not as much.
