1935
Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad that reminds you of the Security that you are provided with when you drive a car with a Body by Fisher. There is a cute picture of a little girl who has come home from school and is sitting in the snow on the front steps on her house striving to take her boots off. As a precious piece of mail the words First Class, Special Delivery and Insured are stamped in plain sight and the text talks about the things that a little girl wouldn't care about that a mother or father would, or anyone who was looking for a good car to buy. It reminds us of how far the features and safety in automobiles has come and that "you're likely to hear most folks say, 'When you buy a new car, better pick the one with Body by Fisher'".

Full color 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" ad that is another one for Body By Fisher. This ad shows a smiling lady standing next to a snowman as the headline says "Sno Foolin!. The other item shown in this ad is a 1941 Oldsmobile as it says that "They're saying the new Oldsmobile's "The car that has everything modern" - and you see it a major reason for that in the new Body By Fisher on the Oldsmobile Dynamic Cruiser De Luxe. It has a new modified plain back with large luggage compartment; foam rubber seat padding; wider door openings; the body is actually 6" wider at center". The ad says that "You can't fool winter sports fans about all-weather comfort. In fact, that's something no car owner wants to leave to chance. And that's probably one good reason why seven motorists out of ten say they prefer a Unisteel Turret Top Body By Fisher. It gives such positive assurance of pleasant winter driving - thanks to crank-controlled Fisher No Draft Ventilation, the most modern insulation, and all those extra little luxuries that typify the talented touch of Fisher craftsmen. So no wonder they're saying, "Body By Fisher is '41's guide to better value" - which leads you, of course, to a General Motors car".

There is a drawing showing a man working on a very large machine and the text claims that it was a "Vertical boring mill, built by Fisher expressly for tank production, machines a tank turret at a Fisher Body plant". The headline under this said "Master hands at many crafts" and the text claims that "Long ago Fisher Body acquired leadership in an exacting trade through the mastery of many skills and crafts. Today this diversified craftsmanship is of indispensable value, as busy Fisher plants turn out war products in a variety that ranges from aircraft instruments to bomber assemblies and from machine tools and jigs to anti-aircraft gun mounts and tanks. Master hands are busy at many crafts, impelled not only by pride in their work, but by the knowledge that in the speed, the excellence and the volume of their work lie the seeds of final and conclusive victory".
