For Lack of Warning . . . Long Island Is Lost! 

CHRYSLER AIR RAID SIREN can warn a circular area 8 miles in diameter

AS A RESULT of their victory at Long Island in 1776, the British were able to later to take New York and begin other successful campaigns along the Atlantic seaboard.

All history is filled with military disasters to armies and peoples, which could have been prevented, had adequate warning been given of the impending attack.

Today, a system of Chrysler Air Raid Sirens, remote-controlled by ingenious utilities circuits, can warn an entire city in a matter of seconds!  Thanks to the unusual power characteristics of its mighty 180-horsepower industrial V-8 engine, each Chrysler Siren can send a shrill, vibrant warning four miles in every direction.  No other siren available today can match such performance.  Civil Defense officials in many cities have discovered that the tremendous power of the Chrysler Siren means fewer units for complete coverage.

Each Chrysler Siren has its own self-contained power plant and is designed for operation by remote control or manually, should the situation require it.  This means too, that Chrysler Sirens can be used on moving trucks or boats for added safety or convenience. 

Your own comparison will prove the greater economy, efficiency and practical advantages of a warning system employing Chrysler-engineered Sirens.  For specifications and information on what protection your community requires, write . . .
