In the years -| was a step {| known as the best automobile made in America, ndent of motive power: fi since he had completed his apprenticeship at Ellis, Kansas, he had that og lem possible, and the skill he had eduited to many points in the West. Every step 3 a step upward, and everywhere he went he went to learn things about men and about machines. 'He had held executive posts of ever-increasing importance With a number of railways whose very names are a part of both the old and new West's romance and development. Better oppor= tunities did not necessarily mean more pay to young Chrysler. Again and again in his career he has accepted less pay in a new 'position simply because it has offered some new knowledge. A Transportation was the breath of life to this boy toolmaker. 'Hence he finds it almost impossible to say just when he became deeply interested in the idea of individual mechanical transporta- tion, which in the late 'Nineties centred around the possibilities of a device known as the "horseless carriage." He can, however, tell exactly when the automobile became the dominant interest in his career. This was early in 1905. He was at Oelwein, Iowa, serving the Chicago Great Western as master mechanic. He ran down to Chicago to see one of the first automobile shows ever held in that city. His interest centred about a car which was then It was white and with its shining again and again € Finally he asked the price and the salesman told him it was $5,000. That was exactly $4,300 more than Chrysler possessed and $500 more than he earned in a year. But he wanted that car, and he ceo piished his first major job of financing by obtaining the price. The salesman was paid in cash and was instructed to ship the car to him at Oelwein. When it arrived, Chrysler had it driven to a barn at the rear of his home. It stayed in the barn for, three months. Many thought that this was folly piled on top of folly. To buy a $5000 automobile was bad enough, but not to drive it was not common sense. - This did not worry Chrysler. He was too busy. The barn was transformed into a workshop, and for three months he spent every second of his spare time in taking that car apart and put- ting it together again. At the end of three months, despite heavy liabilities in the way of notes and mortgages, Chrysler owned that car in a way that few other men have ever owned one. He knew everything 'about it, including some things which even its manu- facturers did not. . He had been making his second set of tools, forging them in his brain. Even this second set of tools was made ready years before its time. Not until nineteen years later was he to build an automobile that would bear his name. His first career still claimed him. However, without knowing it, he drew nearer to his goal, when, four years later, he accepted the post of shop superintendent of the American Locomotive Works at Pittsburgh. In two years he was general manager of the plant and earning $12,000 a year. AE Chrysler's ability was now receiving wider recognition. He could have achieved great things in several fields that were al- ready beckoning. But just then General Motors Corporation was reorganized. Nash, who had been the head of the Buick division, was made president, and several important posts were left open. For one of these, that of works manager, Walter P. Chrysler was mentioned. . Nash sought him out and offered him a job. Chrysler ac- cepted before Nash could tell him that it meant a fifty per cent. reduction in salary. Chrysler was not worrying about money. This was his opportunity. He accomplished so much in his new position that in two years time he was advanced to the presidency of the Buick Company and made first vice-president in charge of production for General Motors Corporation. had red leather upholstery which blended well brass metal work. For four days he came back to see that car. The Supreme Test In 1919, no doubt sensing the Frenter opportunity just ahead, he resigned his post and took a brief rest, and then he was asked to take over one of the automobile industry's most difficult jobs, COAL COKE WOOD LIME, PLASTER LUMBER, SHINGLES | sold 137,688 Chrysler automobilg which was to clean house for the Willys-Overland Company. The way in which he came to grips with that problem and the effective speed he showed in putting the organization back on its feet brought, almost immediately, an even bigger job. It was to re- organize if possible, or at least to salvage, the Maxwell Motor Com- pany from the financial rocks. They were real rocks and disaster was imminent. The company's bad loans alone comprised twelve million, dollars and its total indebtedness was twenty million ollars. " : This was Walter P. Chrysler's supreme test." It was one of those jobs in which many men could have contented themselves and won deserved praise by accomplishing only what seemed clearly possible.' BE 4 'But Chrysler from the first admitted no other goal than the highest. That is why today the reorganization of the Maxwell Motor Company and its absorption into Chrysler's own organiza- tion stands out unparalleled in the industry's history. But to cap the climax of that brilliant achievement, Walter P. Chrysler de- signed and built automobile bearing his own name which startled the automotive world. =~ : ~ So, just nineteen years and three months after he had finished taking his first $5,000 automobile apart and putting it back to- gether again, a car bearing the Chrysler name was the sensation of the 1924 Motor Show in New York.
