Whcaan unknown motor car sets out
as Chrysler did lo grasp the leadership
of a great industry, and with the speed
of a meteor, sweeps to a foremost posi
tion in popularity and sales, it must
possess extraordinary quality amiability.
When the first Chrysler car was placed
on exhibition five years ago, the wjiole
industry looked in amazement at what
Walter P. Chrysler had accomplished.
Within four years, Chrysler had leaped
to third piici in the industry, i
How has Chrysler done it? What is the
secret of this success? Simply that
Chrysler gave in the beginning each
year since hns given increasingly and
today gives in still greater measure
not onb a f'ner grade of basic' quality "
bur a-higher order of performance,
beauty, style, power, acceleration, safety,
comfort all at most reasonable prices.
Such sweeping success must prove
inevitably to the buyer of a Chrysler c?r
today that he can count on the most
advanced, the soundest, the safest and
the most satisfying motor transportation
his money can command.. Let us prove
these facts in a demonstration. .
