These five years have wrought

a complete realignment of motor car manufacturers. Depending upon how well they fulfilled the public's wants have the various manufacturers come forward into prominence, held their position, tallen behind or passed into obli- vion. For, after all, it is the pub- lic's estimation of your product that determines the extent of your success, or makes your pro- duct a failure. This, of course, is true in every other business ur industry.

In its first five years the public has bestowed on Chrysler a mea- sure of approval that has seldom, if ever, been equalled in the his- tory of American business enter- prise. In the period that public has bought more than 750,000 Chrysler-built cars. It has in- vested well in excess of $1,000,- 000,000 in Chrysler products. To-day it is buying products built by Chrysler at the rate of several million dollars a day! The public has lifted Chrysler to a position of front rank among the world's foremost motor car producers.

Startling Changes

Events have since proved that the advent of Chrysler into-the ranks of motor car producers was probably fraught with greater significance than any other occur- rence in the automobile industry of the preceding 20 years. Chrysler has literally revolution- ised the automobile industry, with changes so startling that the old' ideas as to what constituted a either proper motor car have

There is about the Senior Sedan a certain patrician quality of ap pearance that sets it quite apart from other cars of comparable price. It is rich in colour and finish, without a trace of the bizarre; it is entirely original in line and proportion, without any suggestion of straining for effect; and its style is so fresh and. im- pressive as to make its beauty both arresting and commanding in any surroundings.

Chrysler influence, in those five years, has succeeded in bestowing greater value than ever before on every make of motor car built. It scrapped previous ideas of manufacture, assembly, accuracy and precision of measurements, and substituted better ones their stead. It has raised effi ciency in the buying of materials, in designing, engineering, plant facilities and in the manufacture of motor cars, to the highest level this amazing motor car in dustry has ever known.

As it did this, Chrysler has pioneered a long and impressive List of contributions that have since become part and parcel, in some form or other, of practically every motor car built. It was the first company with national dis- tribution to use hydraulic four
