tion Is now being officially changed in the
ONCE of the Michigan Secretary OF State at
Lansing. The Chalmers firm was the first
company to include the name OF the city
In its Official title and now drops il only be-
cause OF the confusion which has resulted
Dealers all over the country had written
the company asking that the name be
changed before onieiai action was taken:
said Hugh Chalmers. president and general
manager OF the company. We have al
ways been proud to include the name OF
the city in that OF our company and have
felt that the city was proud to have its
name used in connection with such a prod
uct as ours. But the recent use Of the word
Detroit in the names of so many other
motor cars has resulted in a great con-
fusion OF mail. advertising and general
business. Now we are forced to use only
that part of our original name which other
companies cannot appropriate. Chalmers
cars shall, however, continue to be known as
Detroit products. We are just as proud OF
the city as ever but are forced TO drop the
name from the title OF our company through
expediency."
Hereafter the cars built by the Chalmers
Motor Company will be known as the Chal-
mers 80 and the Chalmers 40.
