A plain and inescapable fact in motoring today is
that there is real difference between Chrysler
performance and all other performance.
Chrysler began, FIVE years ago, with smoothness,
speed and acceleraton which at one single stroke
obsoeted all previous conceptions of what motor
car performance ought to be.
Since then, competitions best efforts have
achieved merely an approximation of the results

On the morning Of Jeanie's

ride in her automobile.
She got up in the summer
dawn, bathed and dressed and
packed her little bag with the
things she would need for the

She had made a new white
dress to wear--a pure white mus

dandelions. 1t was plain

sleeveless, but 1T was beautiful

There was pair Of new white
