pared with the previous year.
During the last year industry a.
a whole has progressed toward Q
stability in production and en-
ployment. ExcesSes in production
have been missing, and supplies Of
manufactured products generally
have been geared closely to de-

Especially has this been true
in the automobile industry which
in recent years has led the way
to q stabilized program Of opera

Radical Changes Made
In Exterior Design

Radical changes in exterior de-

engines, longer wheel bases, larger

cars of the 1888 ChrySler line at

are designated as the Royal and

BASED ON CONFIDENCE

It is all founded upon conf.
dence in each other and in basic
institutions. The ideal attain
ment is not to curtail new models,
but to produce enough of them in
all lines of industry that all men
will have, something to do-Some
gainful occupation.
There are thousands of inventors
and engineers in America whose
names are unknown but who keep
producing new things, new ways of
doing things, improvements and
innovations. They have in the past
and they will in the future provide
the impetus Of new models that
stimulates business. BY themselves,
they are important. Linked with
great manufacturers and sales
men, they form part of an invinci,
BILE team which has lifted this
country to the highest standards
of living enjoyed by those who
work, of any country in the world.

new features. IL,
The ambassador Eight line,
available in five models, is built
on a 125-inch wheelbaSe and pow

The models are the four-door Sc

able in the same five models, is
built on a 121-inch wheelbase and
powered with a 105-horsepower en-
gine.
The Lafayette line, built on q
117-inch wheelbase and powered
with a 95-horsepower engine,
comes in both De Luxe and Master
STYLES. The De Luxe group has
five models, the same as those that
comprise the Ambassador lines.
while the Master group has four
models (cabriolet eliminated). The
Master group differs from the De
Luxe group only in that it is a still
lower priced car, without the de
luxe appointments.
CONDITIONED AIR
Leading the list of six major
developments is the system OF
conditioned air for winter driving.
Another improvement is the
new shock-absorber arrangement
that enhances riding quality and
road stability. A vacuum-operat-
ed gearshift, actuated by a small
lever extending from the center
of the instrument panel; a new
sound-proofing method and q

The conditioned air system for
winter driving is described as one
that brings into the car copious
quantities of cleaned, warmed air,
