Wdens After
Active Start

NEW YORK. July 6 CP.-
Chemicals and oils joined air.
crafts early this afternoon to
widen the stock markets ad-
vance.
Gains of leading stocks, ran
generally from fractions to a
point or so but few stocks raced
beyond this.
The market was higher from
the start in fairly active trading
with aircrafts showing vigor.
The pace quoted soon and
chemicals took over the starring
role as aircrafts subsidized below
their best. Oils also turned in
a string of good gains.
Volume for the day was esti-
mated at around 100000 shares
compared with 2,240.000 yester-
day.
Alrcrafts advanced following
the Governments freeze on criti-
cal steel items. thus allowing
aircraft makers to stock up on
aircraft quality steel from ware
houses.
Steels took fractional losses
as the six-day-old steel strike
showed no sign of a break de-
spite yesterdays start of media
ton talks.
AT noon the Associated Press
average of go stocks rose 10
cents to $l8490 with the indus
trials up $14O, the rails up 30
cents and the utilities up 20
cents. Corporate bonds were
higher in quiet trading

Air Conditioning? Then here's
something you should know
The TRUTH
About Commercial
Air Conditioning

u wv ~ Nh IA ~ u 141
1856 is going to be the air-conditioning indus
trys biggest year, by far. More firms of all kinds
are going to install air conditioning-and great
percentage of these firms will install Chryser Air
temp Commercial Air Conditioning. They will be
guaranteed satisfaction.
On the other hand, there will be many stores,
shops Offices plants and every type of business that
will install other brands of air conditioning-some Of
these installations will be satisfactory but great
percentage OF them may not be.
Why? Why does the businessman who nstals
Chrysler Airtemp Air Conditioning have assurance
of satisfaction?
Ifyoure thinking of installing air condition
ing in your place of business, you should know
the truth about commercial air conditioning:
The difference in the satisfactory and unsatis-
factory air conditioning installation is more
often than not in the dealer rather than in the
equipment.
While Chrysler Airtemp is the acknowl-
edged leader in the field of manufacturing the finest
air conditioning equipment there are other manu-
facturers who produce suitable equipment.
But . only Chrysler Airtemp certifies certain,
handpicked dealers and gives them the very special
definition of "1ntegrity Dealers"
When commercial air conditioning install
lation is made by Chrysler Integrity Dealer"
it is backed by the full faith of the Chrysler Cor
poraton. That air conditioning installation is
guaranteed to perform according to specfica-
tiOns.
The reason Chrysler can guarantee every In
stallation made by Chrysler Integrity Dealer is
this: A Chrysler Integrity Dealer" is specially
trained as is his entire staff of technicians mechan
les and instalers, by Chryser factory engineers.
Further, they work under continuing training pro-
gram that keeps them abreast of every air condi-
tioning advancement-no matter how complex or
technical.
When the staff of your Chrysler Integrity
Dealer goes to work installing an air conditioning
system in your place of business, the multbillion
dollar Chrysler Corporation is working for you
No other commercial air conditioning instala-
ton gives you that guarantee!
Don't be one of the disappointed businessmen
who will install an unsatisfactory air conditioning
system in their places of business during 1856 In
stead, look for the name of Chrysler and the
Chryser Integrity Dealer"
The Chryser "Integrity Dealer" Guarantees
that your Chrysler Airtemp Air Conditioning
Installation will be 1000 satisfactory.
