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. (AP)
Automotive trade circles speculated
today over the possibilities of a gen
eral car price Increase In the wake
of a first definite announcement by
the Ford Motor company and pro
ducers' complaints of "rising costs."
Ford's announcement, In the na
ture of a surprise, stirred all directly
whether the other two members of
the automobile field's "big three"
General Motors and Chrysler may
follow suit.
It was recalled that only last Tues
day, Alfred P. Bloan. Jr., chairman
it General Motors corporation, had
broadly hinted an Increase in prices.
Price Increases of S16 to 36 ef
fective Monday, on several passenger
models of the 1937 Ford line were
announced last night, with the terse
eiplanstlon: "Rising prices." The
"base price" will remsln unchanged.
The Increase excludes five types
of passenger cars and all trucks and
commercial ears.
