matte windshield for $15O0.OO.
WHY?
First. There is only one automobile
of medium price which has ever been
successfully manufactured and market
ed, and rendered ideal service for as LONG
a period as three years That car is
the Chalmers go"
Second. That three wears have
elapsed and 1912 enters upon the fourth
year with demand for the Chalmers
80 greater than ever before.
Third. When the factory in 1900
brought out this model they figured
overhead cost to cover a period of three
years; this included the special ma
chinery, jigs dies, templets, etc From
year to year they have been able to
improve this car, as you know, without
additional cost. Now all of this ma
chinery is paid for AND THE PUBLIC
IS GOING TO GET THE BENEFIT
OF 1T.
Fourth. The Chalmers Company
has always been satisfied with small
margin of profit on their goods, and
when 1t is possible by economy of manu-
featuring methods to give more value,
it has always been done without any
increase in the price.
We think that you will agree that
claims are unnecessary in view Of such
value at such price,
The facts are eloquent and convinc-
ing You have the choice of two, four
or hve-passenger bodies and four color
schemes.
Deliveries to customers begin in ten
days, and orders will be filed in rota-
ton as received.
