fact. everything in the Standard Equip

those who motor, but to those who con-

The United manufacturers believe
that by means of these Standard Equip

cars are-in advertisements.
All the advertising in the world won't

Why a $4,000 Exhibit !?

We have an educational show exhibit that
cost us $4,000. We did not put this exhibit
in Madison Square Garden and the Wayne
Casino simply for the purpose Of advertising,
or even for the purpose primarily Of making
immediate sales.
We put in this educational exhibit because
we wanted to give everyone interested the
fairest possible opportunity to see every
thing there is to see about the construction
and operation, the Workmanship and finish
of Chalmers cars.
We are so sure of our car that we cut the
chassis open from end to end for inspection
at the shows. We are glad to show it ALL,
for we are proud of it all.

Will There Be a '.G!ean,y

Another reason we are able to give so much
for the money is that we are willing to accept
a reasonable profit. We are not trying to
make a fabulous sum Of money in one year or
two years. We are making reasonable
amount of money, but we are not advertising
fictitious profits.

Any One Could Write an Advertisement
Like This---But No One Else
Could Show This Car

This could not be a fact simply because Of
advertising. 1t could be fact only because
the cars themselves have made good. They
have made good with the people who have
bought them, one by one.
They have made good in contests Of all
kinds during the last two years in way that
no other cars have equaled. In two years Of
motor contests they have won 80 hrsts 81
seconds, and 81 thirds. They have won a
higher percentage Of events entered than any
other cars.

We Take Pain. to Succeed

We are able to give the kind Of cars we do
at the prices we ask simply because we have
taken the pains to do SO.
We have taken the time to design good cars
and to test them out. The designing of the
Chalmers 80" was two years task.
We believe we have an inspection depart
ment that is second to none in the business.
This department. is one of the highest priced
departments in our organization. But we
find it pays.
We employ 1o5 men whose sole duty it is
to inspect materials, manufacturing processes
and finished cars.
There is never moment, from the time
work begins on the raw material until the fin
ished car goes out of the factory, that any
single part Of the car is not under an nspec-
tors eye.

You Must Feel Safe

Be careful to examine cars for the "Ele-

ments Of safety: A strong frame; strong
steering connections; strong wheels well
fastened to the axles and big, strong,
quick acting brakes.
Have these points in mind when you ex-
anime cars. We have confidence that the

son on these points with flying colors.

The radiator looks good and it is good.

Note the tenders: They are heavy and strong,

them.
Note the care that has been taken to pro-
tect the mechanism and the passengers from
dust; examine the running boards, the door
latches the wiring and dash assembly.
See if the driver could be in more COM
Portable position in any car.
Note the woodwork on the car. Compare
the wood, and the finish of it, with any other
car selling near our price.
Note the upholstering. Note the care
with which the painting and stripping has been
done.
Note the big steering wheel and the steer
ing post and even the wood of the steering
wheel. Note the big handsome doors. Note
the tastcfully designed gear and brake levers.
Note the large wheels and how the rear
wheels are bolted to the brake drums.
A cheap tie will spoil the effect Of sixty

We Favor Shows Show!

We are in favor Of automobile shows, just
as you are. You are in favor Of them be-
cause they enable you to make careful COM
parsons and make them quickly.
A show enables you to put competing cars
side by side and go over them point by point
We invite comparison point by point.
We have often wished in selling our cars we
could put them side by side with other cars
that are being considered. It is the only
way to arrive at a right conclusion.
1t is not our purpose in advertising, or in
having an expensive exhibit for the shows to
try and rush people into buying cars. We
are trying to help you go into the motor car
question as thoroughly as you want to go
into it.
We are trying constantly to teach everyone
to make, careful comparisons. All we ask is
that you examine our car in comparison with
all the other cars point by point; test it out
as well as you can; take the past records into
consideration; then if you buy some other
car we have nothing to say.

CHICAGO, H., May 23.-1n a
friendly action in bankruptcy by the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufac-
turing CO., today, John NJ. Roach the
president, and Henry A. Blair, =
heavy stockhOlder, were appointed
receivers. The Chicago railway Co.
rcceivcrship was precipitated by the
fact that the company did not have
sufficient assets to pay a judgmen of
$1,344,600, rendered against it last
week by the superior court, nor to
provide sufficient bonds to secure a
stay of execution by means of an dp-
peal.
The receviership is described as a
mere legal move for friendly con-
servation." BY this arrangement it
will be possible to protect the COM
pany to carry on its affairs and con-
tinue pending improvem whole
the decision of the court is carried
10 the supreme court.
Judge Ball held in giving the iudg-
ment against the Chicago Railway
Co, that in taking over the old Union
Traction Co., it assumed the bonds of
the financially shattered consolidated
Traction Co.
Should Balls decision be upheld.
the way is opened for judgments OF
u similar nature to the amount OF
about $5,000,000. The Westinghouse
concern in its petition, says that the
railway company has no funds to pay
the debt of $4,000 owing to the West
inghouse Cos. and that its assets are
so encountered by mortgages and
trust deeds that it cannot raise the
money to appeal from Balls decision.
