Third

Some will say that the General Motors Co. now makes more automobiles than any other company and that the Ford Co. makes nearly as many. Last year, Ford made most, may make most again. But who knows what car company ranks third in production? Chrysler.* (Walter P., first, last and always mechanic, now collects oriental rugs and finances scientific expeditions). So proudly announced the Chrysler Co. last week, pride swelling with the thought the General Motors includes many a different car, includes also Chevrolet, which like the Ford is cheaper than the Chrysler. Of course Chrysler with its "50" selling for $750--$885 comes close to the lowest auto-price level, but people associate the name chiefly with the "70" which cannot be bought for less than $5 less than $1500.

*As a make (brand) of motor car Chrysler comes fourth after Ford, Chevrolet, and thirdly Buick. General Motors, of course, makes both Chevrolet and Buick.
