COLORADO SPRINGS AP)
Automobollc tourists and campers
who are starting on their long joy
ous summer jaunts like the wilds,
hut they look for real stoves and
beds with springs.
Although beside casading water
falls and under murmuring pines,
the present day outdoor dweller
prefers a hint of comfort even In
the wilderness, according to obser
vations of tho United States forest
service.
The foresters divide the travel
ers Into three classes nomads,
somi-nomuds, and summer- resi
dents. And the nomad who once ex
ulted in sleeping under the stars
now prefers a real bed. Ho.'liutf a
sneaking fondness for a small stove
instead of a glowing bed of coals
for his bacon and eggs.
Kor this reason the lure of the
privately operated pay citmp Is in
creasing. The forest service Is en
couraging thcobtainlng of permits
for such camps where tourists can
obtain the small comforts and lux
uries they, desire and which the
government can only meet with the
simplest facilities.
Jn some of the camps the gov
ernment haH installed a modern

It lias become an axiom of tlic motor car
industry that much of what comes
tomorrow originates in what Chrysler
engineering docs today.
For five years, Chrysler h.-.s been the
acknowledged leader in thrilling per
formance. For five years, Chrysler lias led
the way in individuality and modern
smartness of design.
Those in possession of the facts know
that there is scarcely a motor car today
that docs not owe some improvement in
its make-up to Chrysler and has not
become a better car by reason of Chrysler
engineering achievement.
Emulation is a nice compliment to
Chrysler leadership, of course. Cut the
mere copying of features cannot equal the
complete Chrysler results.
To you who are about to choose a new
car, a natural question arises: Why not
enjoy a Chrysler itself, so long as Chrysler
smartness, comfort, performance and
quality arc the goals to which other cars
are striving? Let us show you in a test cf
