said that Leland was not keen
about fishing; because "ihe? fish

went into the manufacturing of

LONDON (P) Musty trecords
.1 00 years old form part of the evi

Oordon Seton to the ancient Scot
tish barony of fiord on.
The barony is now held by Lord
Huntly, head of the Ciordon clan
and known among the Rents as
"Cock of tho North." Ho disputes
the claim.
It is up to tho house of lords

now is in the hands of the com

The whole thing hinges upon
whether a marriage contracted be

Chrysler's Netv
on Authentic Canons of Classic Beauty
Chrysler engineering has achieved something never done be
fore in motor car design.
It has searched out authentic forms of beauty which have come
down the centuries unsurpassed and unchallenged and has trans
lated them in terms of motor car beauty and motor car utility.
The lengths to which Chrysler designers have gone in this
. patient pursuit of beauty will doubtless prove a revelation to
those who have probably accepted Chrvsler symmetry and
charm as fortunate but more or less accidental conceptions.
The Chrysler process goes far deeper than any charming but
fortuitous design.
For, Chrysler has left nothing to chance.
Chrysler has not relied alone upon the inspiration of indi
vidual designers.
Chrysler in its newest products has found that there are .so
many glorious precedents and inspirations in art, architecture
and design, that the search for authentic and harmoniouj sym
metry can actually be reduced to something like a scientific
system in which results arc certain.
