The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1910-07-29

In oklahoma all the cars mad TO
run for miles along the railroad over
the ties. How long would any ma
chine in the world, except an auto
mobile, Withstand such punishment?
Dai Lewis, who has laid out the
route for every Glidden tour, says
that no other could even compare
in hardships with the 1910 tour.
The final outcome of the contest
was predicted when the $50" was
the last car to surrender its perfect
score. IL had perfect score for
five terrific days after every other
It Is the opinion of the experts
who made this tour that no car in
the world could have completed it
with perfect score.
Yet from Cincinnati to Louisville
to Nashville-to Sheffield, Ala
to Memphs-to Little Rock-to Hot
Springs-to Texarkana-to Dallas
to Lawton, Oklahoma-to Oklaho-
ma City-to Wichita, Kansas--eleven
consecutive days out of the sixteen
through the hardest part of the
trlp---not n single point could be
assessed against the Chalmers $50"
although a representative of n COM
peting company was in the car every
minute trying to find some fault
on which a penalty could be assess
ed.
At Dallas local motorists offered
to wager 10 to / that this car could
not retain its perfect score until
noon of that day because of the
deep sand 1t would have to drag
through enroute to the noon con-
troll, but 1t did.
Furthermore, the Chalmers $50"
made a better showing in the final
technical test than any of its rivals.
In this Important examination it
was assessed only 75 point as against
81 for its nearest competitor.
The $50" was not penalized on
any fundamental feature of con-
struction, not on motor, or clutch
or transmission, or on the frame,
or the wheels, or aXles or springs;
only on minor things, such as body
bolts. shackles, muffer, and fender
irons.
1t still had n brake good enough
to stop II within the required so
feet.
The car which made this wonder
ful showing is absolutely stock car
In every respect-not even our COM
petitors have questioned that. Ii Il
the same car you can buy I'm any
Chalmers dealers salesroOm for
81, 800.
In winning the Glidden Tour the
Chalmers $50" has only maintained
record 1t had already established
For this car has never been defeated
in any important contest of speed
and endurance by n car of its own
power and price class. 1t has re-
peatedly defeated cars of much high
er price and greater power in all
kinds of contests.
Think of the Indiana trophy race
the Merrmac Valley trophy, the San
to Monica race, the Massapequa
trophy I'm the Vanderbilt race, won
by setting a new worlds speed rec
ord; the showing at Atlanta, where
it finished first and second in every
event entered for n week, winning
the Gambler trophy by doing 120
miles in III minutes; the Denver to
Mexico City trip; the gruelling test
of eos miles a day for 100 successive
days; path finding for the 1910 Gid
den Tour and, finally, winning the
Tour. What other stock car in the
world lat any price has such record
, as this?
What better car can you want
than Chalmers $50" at $1,000?
What more can you buy with any
amount of money? You could buy
! seven-passenge car, or YOU could
buy more power. That Is all.
