DETROIT, Michigan, Aug. Is.
Registrations of Chrysler Corpor-
atoms new Plymouth exceeded all
other makes Of cars registered in
Wayne County, Michigan, during
the month Of July. This is the first
time in recent years that retail
sales Of any automobile in the De-
troit area have surpassed the sales
of either Fords or Chevrolets in this
county, which is recognized as the
capital of the motor world.
July registration figures COM
piled by the state License Bureau
show that sales of Plymouths total
ed 1249 as against 1868 Fords and
$50 Chevrolets. The Plymouth
figures are for a little more than
three weeks, inasmuch as the new
car was not announced until July
9th.
Commenting on these figures
Walter P. Chrysler said today,

Business Is Good.

Mr.. Nave declares that business II very good.
he pointed out that a great many business concerns
are complaining, but that his business has been ex-
ceptionally good. Good, honest merchandise and a
good organization are both responsible for business
being what it is with us. Chrysler today il putting
real value into every line, the new six cylinder sedan
that sells today for eleven hundred and fifty dollars,
is equal to most cars that sold for eighteen hundred
to two thousand dollars a year ago.
And the New Deluxe Eight that sells for Nine
teen seventy-five is far superior to most cars that
were offered a year ago at around three thousand
dollars. In addition to prices being SO much lower
the cars are built much better. The chassis il built
heavier and more durable, the motors are the finest
Chrysler has ever built, and more attention has been
given to bodies on new Chryslers than has ever been
given to bodies on any cars in the past. The new
bodies are Of monopieCe construction. The strong
est type of construction that has ever been built into
an automobile body, and they are sound proofed and
insulated to the utmost extent. Durable, no wood TO
rot and bonderiZed so that they will not rust out;
all sheet metal parts are bonderized before being
painted. This is accomplished by heating the metal
which opens the pores of the metal, and the solution
applied while the metal il hot. The Fights are all
equipped with the famous four speed transmission
that gives dual high gears, which feature contributes
to greater economy and longer life. The skies are
standard with easy shift three speed transmission.
Four speeds forward, or free wheeling can be had
at slight additional cost.
The new Plymouth il now being talked By ev-
erybody, and they are buying them. When has an
automobile ever sold like the new Plymouth? The
news of Plymouth sales in and around Detroit l.
given at the bottom of this page.
We are exceptionally proud Of the Chrysler line
of cars which we believe to be the most outstanding
in automobile history, and We are proud Of our or
ganization which has done so much to get the pub
