automobile, 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 "30' was the
last car to surrender it's perfect score.
1t had perfect score for five terrific
days after every other car on the tour
had been penal zed.
1t is the opinion of the experts who made this
tour that no car in the world could have COM
pleted it with perfect score.
Yet from Cincinnati to Louisville-to Nash
ville--to Sheffield, Ala.-to Memphis-to Lit
tie Rock-tc, Hot Springs-to Texarkana-to
Daas-to Lawton, Oklahoma-to Oklahoma
City-to Wichita, kansas-eleven consecutive
days out of the sixteen-through the hardest
assessed against the Chalmers go" although
a representative of a competing company was
in the car every minute trying to find some fault
on which penalty could be assessed.
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 it would have to drag through en- route to
the noon control, but it did
Furthermore the Chalmers 80" made a
better showing in the final technical test than
any of its rivals. In this important examina-
ton it was assessed only rs points, as against
"a for its nearest competitor
The $50" was not penalized on any funda-
mental feature of construction, 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, muffler
and fender irons.
1t still had brake good enough to stop it
within the required fifty feet.

The car which made this wonder
full showing is absolutely stock car
in every respect-not even our COM
petitors have questioned that. 1t
is the same car you can buy in any
Chalmers Dealers salesroom for
Sl,500.
In winning the Glidden Tour the Chalmers
go" has only maintained a record it had al
ready established For this car has never been
defeated in any important contest of speed and
endurance by a car of its own power and price
class. 1t has repeatedly defeated cars of much
higher price and greater power in all kinds of
contests. n
Think of the Indiana trophy race, the Mer-
rimac Valley trophy, the Santa Monica race,
the Massapequa trophy in the Vanderbilt race,
won by setting a new worlds speed record; the
showing at Atlanta, where it finished first and
second in every event entered for week, win
ming the Gambler trophy by doing 120 miles in
III minutes; the Denver to Mexico City trip;
the gruelling test Of 2os miles a day for 100
successive days; path-hnding for the 1910 Gid
den Tour, and, finally, winning the Tour. What
other stock car in the world at any price, has
such record as this?

What better car can YOU a than
Chalmers $50" at $3.50? What
more can you buy with any amount
of money? You could buy a seven
passenger car, or you could buy more
power. That is all. If you want a
seven-passenger car, all right. AS
for more power, you can get it if you
