BEAUTY WITH STRENGTH

“FARGO” TRUCKS ARE BUILT FOR STYLE The Fargo line of commercial cars under Chrysler Motors is being offered only after having been subjected to j every test, both abstract and- concrete, j which would aid in proving the worth . of this new group of vehicles to the j business world. 1 ully realising that passenger car elegance in construction and appearance in addition to durability, is demanded by the merchant, Chrysler engineers have built a vehicle which combines beauty with strength, resulting in a smart, clean-lined car. Xew stream line mouldings, arched louvre panels matched by arched windows, a harmonious roof curve, and air wing fenders, give an air of modern efficiency, speed and smartness. Pillars, roof-rails, and sills, provide a staunch and hardy skeleton for the support of other features, on the pressed-steel wide-flange frame. The Fargo Clipper Sedan is equipped with the new "Silver Dome" high compression engine, which gives greater power, speedier acceleration, and increased usefulness from the fuel consumed —and it does this with any of the ordinary grades of benzine. Special advantages have been applied to the particular needs of each individual unit. The six-cylinder engine which powers the 3-ton Clipper chassis develops Go h.p. It is equipped with a seven-bearing, scientifically balanced crankshaft which is also eounterweighted, giving smoothness and longevity. Isotherm ivar strut pistons, impulse neutraliser and oil purifier are among its noteworthy features. Internal expanding brakedrums assure all-weather braking efficiency. This model has a seating capacity for nine. Seats are easily removed for making full use of compartment for standard load.
