This arrangement appears to have given Mr. 7,

for publication. This unusual procedure evoked
from the Governor a sharp reply whose recital OF

Just why an inspector of boilers should get twice

State official except the President of the University

Chrysler Achieves
Production Success

| The production division of the
! Chrysler Corporation, in order to
keep pace with the increasing pub
lie demand, achieved a success DUR
ing the summer and fall months
, which has come very close to set
ting new record in manufac-
turers' annals in the automobile
industry.
! To have built two cars within 80
DAYS time, where only one was built
before, is an achievement perform
ed by the Chrysler manuf curing
department under the direction Of
W. Ledyard Mitchell, vice-prcsident
in charge Of manufacturing.
This was only made possible BY
the most careful coordination Of all
the phases of production.
Doubling the prohibition was
more than merely a problem of
; quantity. The increase in outpu.
was coincident with the introduce
ton of twelve new body types, each
scale than any of its predecessors.
can best be pictured BIZ a review
of concrete figures. Its annual
production when loaded into freight
, cars would make a train 300 miles
long. the distance from Cleveland
to Chic&.b.
Placed end to end the number of
automobiles would make a line 800
miles long, the distance from Chi
cago to MINNEAPOLIS. The movement
OF this product to Chrysler fac
tories and to the ultimate consum-
er requires railroad equipment
equivalent to train of 100 cars
circling the globe twelve times.
One hundred and fifty million dol
lars worth of material is purchased
from vendors. 4
