MOTOR INDUSTRY
REV0LUTI0NIZED
BY CHRYSLER co.

The beginning of the year 1929
also marks the end of Chrysler 5
first five years as a builder of mo-
tor ears, says J. f. Fields, vice-pres-
ident in charge Of sales.
They have been significant years
in the automobile industry. They
fave witnessed a great transition in
the public mind as to what a motor
car should be and should do-the
complete transition, one might say.
as to what constitutes a proper mo-
tor car.
These five years have wrought
complete realignment of motor car
manufacturers. Depending upon how
well they fulfilled the public 5
wants have the various manufac
tUrers come forward into promin
ence, held their position, fallen be
hind or passed into Oblivion. For,
after all, il is the public's estima
tion of your product that determines
the extent of your success, or makes
your product a failure. This, of
course, is true in every other bust
ness or industry.
In its first five years the public
has bestowed on Chrysler meas
ure of approval that has seldom, if
ever, been equalled in the history
of American business enterprise. In
that period the public has bought
more than 10000 Chrysler built
ears. 1t has invested we'll in excess
of 81 0Oo,0oO,0O0 in Chrysler pro-
ducts. Today it is buying products
built by Chrysler at the rate of sew
eral million dollars a day The pub
lie has lifted Chrysler to a position
of front rank among the world 5
foremost motor car producers.
Events have since proved that the
advent of Chrysler into the ranks
Of motor car producers was probably
