Just 21 CHRYSLER AIR RAID SIRENS
to alert the entire 200 square miles of New Orleans!

New Orleans, Louisiana . . . one of the country's most important seaports, with a population of nearly 600,000 and an area of 200 square miles . . . can be alerted to impending danger in seconds.  A remote-controlled system of just twenty-one Chrysler Air Raid Sirens could do the basic job.  Compare this number with the necessary quantity of any other warning device and you will learn the importance of selecting Chrysler . . . the siren sounding the "loudest warning ever heard."

A primary reason for the tremendous coverage of each Chrysler Siren is its 180 horsepower Chrysler V-8 Industrial Engine.  This mighty power plant develops a terrific 400 mile per hour blast, sufficient to send 173 decibels of sound four miles in every direction from the rotating siren.

Smaller communities, too, will find the Chrysler Siren ideal for their protection . . . because, thanks to its own individual power plant, the Chrysler Siren can also be operated manually, independent of any system, from a fixed location or from a moving truck or boat.

Chrysler Siren Engineers stand ready to assist any community in planning its protection.  Learn why no other warning device compares for power, for mobility and -- because of its tremendous coverage -- for economy, write: Dept. 42, Chrysler Siren Layout Service, Industrial Engine Division, Chrysler Corporation, Trenton, Michigan.
