What greater proof could there be of CHRYSLER Value? .
HlRYSLER has not only retained but has INCREASED ils leadership in sales during 1927.
This has been possible purely because CHRYSLER owners arc SATISFIED and have not hesi
tated to recommend CHRYSLER to their friends.
. . '
t'lIRYSLER owners arc SATISFIED localise no oilier car has ever been able to duplicate
CHRYSLER PERFORMANCE, DURABILITY, ECONOMY, ROADAB1LITY, BEAUTY and
COMFORT and because every CHRYSLER car is backed by a fair" Service Policy thoroughly
efficient service men and the finest of serving equipment.

Who Pays the Bill
FOR YOUR WRECK?

Maybe your car comes out of the shop as
good as ever after the wreck but who pays
the bill? Isn't it bad enough being smash
ed up without having to pay a big repair
bill? ' i
Maybe you hit another car who pays for
having it fixed up? Can you afford the
chance that you'll have, to dig up for all the
damage you might do as a car driver?
