PAGE SEVEN CHRYSLER SALES Ford V-8 Sets Ten World Records To Publicize Community A LITTLE TRAGEDY, BUT. . . IS TkfEDFORD MAIL TKIBUTCE. MEDFORD. OREGON. STTSDAY. AUGUST 1. 1937 David A. Wallace, newly -appointed prtldent of the Chryaler aalw divi sion of the Chrysler . corporation, brings to the Job exceptionally com plete and varied equipment. Ever since be was a boy, Dave Wallace has been mtklng thing, with his hands. He has come a long way sine be started bis working life aa an humble apprentice In the Santa Pe railroad shops out In Kansas, and there have not been any short cuts. Step by step he has learned the manufactur ing business In all Its phases. So now when he finds himself In complete control of some 11,000 work en. be knows bow to speak their lan guage. He knows the problems of the man at the bench because he, too, has worked at the bench. He's tbe boss and a very forceful one when It corns to making decisions and en forcing them. But at heart be is a working man. It's easy for any one of tbe workers In the Chrytler plant to approach Dave Wallace. The door always is open to anyone who has business with him. Being an ex tremely busy man he hasn't much time for fanning bees during office hours, but he always has time to talk about anything that will Im prove the product or the working conditions. There Is an Interesting parallel In the early life of Dave Wallace and Walter P. Chrysler, head of tbe Chryo ler corporation. Both are Kansiii boysman town boys who had to fight for whatever they got out of life. Dave was born in a little settler ment in southern Kansas, Very early In Ufa be decided that mechanical things ware more Interesting than the farming career that most of his associates had thrust upon them. His first Job was in the Santa Fe shops, a hard school but a thorough one. Mr. Chrysler started In the Union Pa cific shops at Gills, Kas. Dave Wallace's creed might be summed up In five words: "Tbe pro' duet must be right." PRICE BOOST FOR NEW AUTOS DUE DETROIT, Mich., July 31.
