The Chryslcr, 50 car comes to the

Reception " this four cylinder car

Its sales since its announcement last

Motor car authorities consider it
equally as notable an achievement in

"The car is the outgrowth Of re-

SURVIVAL OF The
HITEST, IS CASE
IN AUTO INDUSTRY

Approximately 500 makes Of auto
mobiles which have come to the
American market with promises of
great value, dependability and long
service are now all but forgotten.
Twenty-Five years ago practically
all manufacturers" Of tomobilcs
were nothing more than assemblers.
They purchased motors, bodies, tops,
axles, ETC., from parts makers who
were the manufacturers in reality.
Some few makers maintained shops
in which they machined castings and
fOrgings purchased outside.
On this basis it was easy to be-
come an automobile manufactures"
and more than five hundred makes of
autoy1 0biles have had their day in the
American market and disappeared
They are today represented by more
than 100000 "orphan cars" with prac-
tically no resale value in the hands
% In isa2 s the New York national au.
tomobile show displayed sc makes of
cars. During the following year this
was reduced to GO. In 1924 further
reduction to 81 makes was noted. At
the recent New York show this num-
Der had shrunk to SO.
From the standpoint of the public,
this decreasing. number of automobile
makers prompts more careful consid-
Grafton Of not only what is in a maxi
er's car, but also what is behind the
product.
Makers who cannot manufacture
economically because of inadequate
facilities, who are forced to buy
many or most parts from parts max
crs, necessarily are confronted with
obstacles which make difficult COM

to produce cars on q One-profit basis,
such as Ford and Studebaker.
With several cars selling ut about

To build a car complete calls for
vast plants, vast equipment, which
cost huge sums of money, far beyond
the reach of the small maker. A mat

vestment is wholly inadequate. 1t
requires S75,00O,O00 in plant equip

possible.
"You can drive this car all day un-

the engine will not overhead or lose

Engine fabrication is by positive

flow of oil under pressure to all
main bearings and. through drilled
passages in the crankshaft, to all
connecting rod bearings.

Chryslcr says, gives no opportunity

to Bismarck he was assistant supervi-
sor at the Minneapolis branch of the
Chrysler Sales corporation. Mr..
Churchill has. spent most of his first
season in the new firm developing
the dealer organization and local
sales work. The fact that the 1925
volume of sales passed half million

Churchill's ability in this field.
Aside from the sale Of automobiles,

been popular at the Corwin Motor

In 1921 the Chevrolet contract re-
