Till brooks, are ..rustling and the trout arc rising in the riffles, while sea ward tho salmon run is beginning. Spring's here and senile uld Dame Nature la telling you it's lime lur the meadows and the mountain, the far trails and the open roud. The highway associations and the automobile men are busy, nun ut them more so than the local Durant dealers and tho other 750 dealers who make up tho Durant sales organization through tin west, for commencing today and lasting until Saturday, March JO. 'they are ecle lira tin tr jointly the summons outdoors and the sensa tional values offered in their new l'JUU cars. They have named the celebration, "Durant Open Road Week." . - . ' The event is one of tho most elaborate and far-rcaehlng of the kind ever held, for It represents tho cooperative effort of the doal ors, tho western. Durant factory at Oakland and a goodly share of tho public which is embracing this opportunity tu open the : . spring touring season appropriately. In every community of the west, spe cial displays of tho new cars have been arranged, special programs of , entertainment have been ur- ranged, more than 100.000 Invita- Ltjons have gono out to' motorists of the west, urging Uiom to par ticipate In the event.1 . "Compare it for yourself," urges .Mr. tfabin, along1 with the other Durant dealers.- "Try it. Drive it Then be convlncod how greatly it excels all others of . comparable price. Some good authorities have said wo have the greatest array of ' motor cars and the greatest values ever offered; try ono and find out.' ' v One unusual feature of "Durant Open Itoad Week" Is a radio pro gram to bo broudcast tonight from 8; to 9 p. m. by rc 1110 to control over tho coast network. Leo Carll lo, noted stage star, will be master of ceremonies and Norman deVaux head of the western Durant or ganization, will bo tho chief speak er... A striking part of tho program wijl be tho broadcasting of the hum of Industry as represented by tho factory in full operation. Or ders, for the new models have forced the running of night shifts for a tlmo and DeVaux has taken this opportunity to let radio listen ers hear just how a factory really sounds. ., . , Another radio program will be broadcast Wednesday night from 'station KVO to commence at il;yu and contlnuo half an hour. The doors of tho local Durant establishment will ' remain open until a late hour each evening this week, to pormtl everyone tho full est' opportunity to view tho now cars and arrango for a drive in ono. " Fred M. Zeiler, vice-president in charge of enelnecrlne for Chrysler Corporation, eays: ' -"Neither tho- Chrysler car nor tho Chrysler Corporation ' Is the product of ono mun but of a group of men. For flvo yours it has born building an-orffanizatlon of experts who know uutoniobllc engineering, mttnufaeturiiie, metallurgy, chem istry, physics, research, production finance, sales and transportation.
