SELF-DEFENSE against the elements
A TROPICAL storm at
its height is a terrible, awesome thing: winds toss trees around like
tenpins, roofs leave houses almost as if they were built to do so,
anything not nailed down takes off as if propelled by some mysterious
inner force. Not to be outdone rain drives across and into
everything, and during it all lightning crackles like an angry concert
master directing the symphony of destruction. But elsewhere,
safely sheltered against the would-be man-killer, are the men, women and
children of the area - safe because the Chrysler Siren sent a warning
roar in every direction. The Chrysler Siren is
built to give this kind of protection for years . . . base, housing and
horn are constructed of cast iron and heavy gauge steel. Even the
bearings upon which the turntable rotates are sealed in where dirt can't
score and damage. And while it takes the miracle of utility power
for remote-controlling one or a series of Chrysler Sirens, each can also
be operated manually independent of any power save its own 180
horsepower Chrysler V-8 Industrial Engine. In test after
test, city officials, civil defense authorities, those charged with our
security have found that there is no warning device that compares with
the Chrysler Siren for strength of signal, for adaptability and -
because of its tremendous power - for economy. Has the Chrysler
Siren been demonstrated in your community? If not, call or write,

SIREN Defense is a vital
need, shared by all. Join and assist the Civil Defense group in
your area. |
