Ewald of Campbell-Ewald Co., Chevrolet's able advertising agency, opened a Chevrolet salesroom in Detroit on his own account and last week with his sleeves figuratively rolled up was operating "a proving ground to test actual merchandizing problems . . . so the agency can grasp from experience the situations in which automobile dealers become involved. . . .
