We: Hood. who was the first TO
each. the city. in discussing the new
ChaIrners- ears, said: 7 think that we
are ll9NE offering a car that is without
eomparlsen for the price. BY the
1eaUtifgE system that we follow at
he factory the cost Of building has
oeen greatly reduced and the cars have
~es sched q point of perfection which ii
s IMPOSSIBLE 10 improve from a me-
rsauical. sta ndpOint. It might be pos
sfble 10 dress the cars up with accesso-
n which would bring them up in the
point of cost. but. car for car, dimen-
sionk and. size we offer the Chalmers
% the public without fear 0 rfavor.
We know what we are offering. and the
knowing: buyer realizes their value.

The most optimistic Of them all. In
speaking of trade conditions, he said:
This IS going TO be q great season for
selling. cars It is estimated that
S0.006.~ cars were sold last year. This
vas excessive. for some OF the builders
brought out more cars than the demand
called for.
This season they are not going TO
build as many. and the result will be
that they are going TO be some who
will have 70 go without a car If they
40 not putin their orders early. There
viii be. -l50.0O0 cars sold if they are
1uiLc.+.1 L Is not going 10 be quantity
with, .ttfe. Hudson factory The time
when :It. Was possible TO turn out any
thing on. four wheels and sell il has
assed. Now YOU must have the goods

knows what is right. and you must
give IT,. t6him # you expect 10 stay in
The trade"

weeks the. sellingi OF cars has COM

sta tenaent: In regard to the new Lo-
ziers- Chandler said: "One reason why

the plant TO build enough cars to iii
the demand. Now IL IS going to be
aiTerent.-. We have greatly increased
our plant and we viii come somewhere
near filing the orders. At the present
line tits not a question with US of
