1914 MILES IN ONE DAY

From Omaha to Des Moines after this week In
the mud the go" made 1e4 miles in one day.
This is the first time in the history of Glidden
Tour Pathfnding that the pathfinder car has
covered in one day the total route of complete
days run of the tour itself.
1914 miles of drift roads is fine days per-
Torrance for any car in the pink of condition.
For the go" pathfinder to make this after
it had been on the road 2s days, and Immediately
following a solid weeks struggle in the gumDo
of the Missouri river country, is performance
truly remarkable.
The Chicago Motor Club arranged welcome
for the pathfinder week in advance, and the car
rolled merrily into Geneva, ILL.,. where the well
coming party waited, exactly on schedule time.
After the festivities in Chicago, Driver Gard
ham started for Detroit arriving the city limits
on Michigan avenue Monday afternoon at
o'clock.

ENTERED IN GLIDDEN
CONTEST

To show how thoroughly we believe In this car
and its ability to cover the Glidden route as we'll
or better than any other can do, we shall have
it entered in the contest for the Glidden Trophy.
1t may not win, but we are confident it will
reflect nothing but credit upon the factory that
builds it.
There are 1914 makes of automobiles manufac-
tured in this country-134 of them are higher
priced than the Chalmers 800" ia claim greater
horsepower.
Yet 1t Is claim that for all-around eff
cheney, beauty and value, at the price-$I,5oo-
the Chalmers go is in class by itself, and we
believe that the records bear out the claim
The performance of the Chalmers 80" path
finder Is nothing unusual for Chalmers car.
1t is not more than would be expected by those
who know the records of Chalmers cars.

SORRY TO REFUSE DETROIT
BUYERS

Grant Bros. Auto Company, local distributors
for Chalmers cars, have not been able to accept
an order for 1910 Chalmers cars since April co.
when they sold the last car of their 1910 allot-
ment.
We are sorry that we have had to decline to
fill the orders of scores of Detroit people.
We apologize for not being able to furnish cars
to all who wanted them.
1t Is often great deal harder to tell man he
cannot have a thing than to convince him he
ought to have it, and we fear that some may have
been offended by being told too abruptly that
they could not have Chalmers cars.
We are sorry we could not put more cars into
Detroit, but other cities have to be taken care
of, too.
We know how many we can get out of
our factory each month, and keep them all up to
the Chalmers standard.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1910-05-23

This reception was fitting because the car rep
resented the city with credit through every mile
of Its journey.
We believe the go" came through with as
little trouble and In good condition as any car
made could have come through.
The Car Is in good condition today.
The motor Is hitting as keenly as the day It
left Cincinnati.
The splendid appearance and the iveliness OF
the car have been the cause of comment by every
experienced motorist who has examined 1t, and
hundreds have done so.

1911 MODELS EARLY IN JULY

We cannot risk our reputation by turning out
extra large numbers simply because OF making
larger immediate sales and profits.
We are selling at popular prices. but we
are trying to make them strictly quality cars.
The quality of our product is the first considera-
ton.
There are no more 1910 Chalmers cars to be
had in Detroit.
Still we shall make deliveries of our 1871
models in July.
The announcements of these new models will
be made the first of July, and deliveries will fol-
low Immediately. ---..-..--l-------------

Detroit in fourteen running hours.
This makes total distance of 3,aso miles
covered by the Pathfinder since It left Cincin-
