Amet-icun motorists who think
the cost of operating their cars
Is excesHlvo should stop for a mo

countries und they will appreciate
that the motor car Is operated
more economically in America

l-'oi-clgn Prices
For instance, tho price of gaso
line in Teheran, Persia, on July
lt, was ?1,29 per gallon; in Dur
ban, JJrltish South Africa it cost
'J H cents; and in Bogota, Colum
bia, motorists wero compelled to
pay 73 cents a gallon or hitch a
horso to their cars. Other prices
per gullon as reported on tho saino
date wero: rucrto Cortest, Hon-

05 cents; nnd Jugoslavia, 60 cents.
i no lowest price reported was
from Bucharest, Rumania, where
guHoltno retailed at 15 cents per
gallon.
All of tho abovo figures have
been translated Into American dol

Many factors determine tho var

clude distances from sources of
supply, quantities consumed, trans

Many foreign countries uso Am

comparison with the ordinary type

ANY attempt to compare
. the Chryler"60" with
the ordinary type of six is like
comparing the modern dirig
ible with the old-ttyle balloon
Impossible, because the two
are fundamentally different.
The difference begins with a
black-and-white difference in
engineering, the Chrysler "60"
being designed and built under
the plan of . Standardized
Quality, as if required to give
60 miles an hour for every
mile and minute of Its life.
Necessarily, the difference
stands out even more sharply
in performance the extraor
dinary power reserve of the
, "60" giving it a smoothness at
average speeds that you recog
nize at once as unattainable in
the ordinary type of six built
by ordinary manufacturing
methods to ordinary perform
ance standards.
Just as pronounced is the dif-.
ference in comfort, agility and
handling ease in gasoline
