There's Everything in a Name

Another thing you get in a Chalmers which you
get III no other car, in the medallion on the radiator
the rade-mark-the Chalmers name. This trade
mark is your insurance that the car which bears it
was designed by Chalmer' engineers; contracted Of
material which has come up to the Chalmers inspec-
ton standard built by the Chalmers organization in
the Chalmers factory; tested by the Chalmers inspec-
ton department service.
The Chalmers Company aaS the first company to
build a real automobile to sell at a $500 price. That
aVaS three years ago. That car Immediately took the
lead among cars Of this class, and it has steadily
maintained that lead ever since.
The Chalmers Company is capitalized for $1,000
900. 1t has a factory which is not surpassed by any
in the industry. The Chalmers Company builds all
important parts. 1t builds enough cars 50 that it
gets the full advantage Of quantity production, yet
it does not try to make production records: 1t builds
for quality rather than quantity.

1.-THE ClIMA

The Climax" which will be pre-
sented at the Grand Opera House
Friday, April 2S, is one Of the pref
test little stories OF the heart that was
ever told on the stage. It's hard to
~describe-you might call it "a play
that's different"-and you'd be about
right.
Among the principals, there Is a
girl who has a great voice, a young
musician who has a great love for
her, an old teacher who has a great
love for both, and a young physician
who wants the young woman for his
wife. How there came an awful
blight upon the singers ambition and
how 1t was lifted is the story and 1t
is related in a way that grips the
heart. It has been well said 1t Is
a great play for those who love music,
but It is a play for anyone who has
a grain Of sentiment in his or her
makeup, and all Of have that much.
There is depth, feeling, pathos, power
and appeal in 1.-THE Climax" nothing
gaudy, nothing glazing, nothing OF
frippery or gush, but a story that stirs
emotion and sympathy and is OF real
gold all the way through.

Analyze Puzzling Claims

The man who reads these claims must be puzzled
to know what to DO. The advertisements would lead
him to think that all cars are equally worth his
money, that he might as well simply close his eyes
and choose one.
And yet this does not seem quite reasonable. In
any group Of half a dozen makes, selling at about
the same price, there must be one, or possibly two,
which are better than others. Moreover, there must
be cars which have greater value in proportion to
the prices asked than other cars have in proportion
to the different prices asked for them.
Different groups of men engaged on similar tasks
will inevitably produce different results. One group
will produce better results than the others.
Railroads and the trains which run on them are
made of the same materials. They all charge the
same rate of fare. Yet nothing is SO plain as that
some railroads are vastly better than others. The
difference comes in the way the materials are
handled.
1t takes more than a set of specifications, blue
prints, a mass Of steel, wood and rubber, and build
ings filled with machinery, to make a tirstclass auto
mobile, just the same as it takes more than "A right
of-way and engines and cars to make a first-class
railroad.

The Chalmers Policy

The Chalmers Company IS free OF debt. 1t is not
~hampered by "entangling chances Its policy is
now just what it has been, namely, the best car at
the Price, only a fair Profit to itself, and service
guaranteed.
These are some OF the things you can get in a
Chalmer, and in no other car. We have stated them
strongly because we want to impress upon automo-
bile buyers the desirability Of getting away from
glowing advertising claims and getting down to the
cars themselves-to an examination Of what is really
in them and of what stands back of them.
We are not Knocking" There are other good cars
besides the Chalmers. But where there is another as
good, there are a dozen we know not as sood-and It is
the dozen we have in mind when we say-study the cars.
Our contention is that the Chalmers in the "best buy
the finest dollar for dollar value. II we can't prove it, we
can't hope to get your order; but we want a chance to
prove it and ask you to come soon to see the car. or let
US know when we may bring the car to you.

BROOklNGS COUNTY PICNIC
Santa Ana, Cal.
Editor Register.

Santa Ana, Cal.
Editor Register:
Dear Sir: 1t may be of interest
to many of YOU readers to receive a
short occur of a very enjoyable
day spent by former Brookings Coun-
ty people in visiting the Orange Co.
Park. The Park is located about
ten miles from Santa Ana in San
tiago Canyon. 1t is a tract of 100
acres owned and kept up by Orange
County as a picnic ground. There
are many large Live Oak and Syca-
more trees as we'll as many other
trees in the Park. A clear mountain
stream runs through the Park and
then diverted and used to irrigate
orchards below. Three persons touch
ing hands can just reach around some
Of the larger trees.
\ trip by team or auto over good
road through orange, lemon, apri
cot, peach and walnut groves on a
beautiful California day is one to be
long remembered.
Just now the apricots and peaches
are in full bloom. An apricot or
chard looks like a huge snow bank
in the distance with the shivers left
out. Contrasted with the white
groves of apricots are the pink bios
SONS of the peach. A peach tree in
blossom is a mass of pink. The
oranges with their green foliage, the
yellow fruit peeping out between the
leaves with the white blossoms Just
coming out is a sight enjoyed by all
newcomers.
Then the flowers of all kinds, roses
predominating. the vegetables. straw
berries, just ripening reminds one
that summer is here. A drive of five
miles brings one to the foot hills, up
and down hill another five miles
brings one to the Park. The hills
now are green and beautiful.
The day was spent in visiting, sight
seeing and eating a delicious picnic
dinner.
The following persons were at the
Park: Messrs and Mesdames Il. d.
Palmer, Reuben Palmer, Guy Gun
ningham, r. ]. White, w. II. Define
hart, f.. p. Lamb, Dricken, J. e. Meyer,
II. II. Reeves, Mrs. Bell, Milton Pal
mer, J A. Seaton, Mrs. David Meyer
and son, Henry McComb and Misses
Louis McComb, Stensland, Lamb, Van
Delkin.
The drive home through the city
Of oranges was even more beautiful
than the trip out and ended a very
pleasant day. We hope other Brook
ings County friends may join us for
our next years outing,
Very truly,
II. Fl. Reeves.

Something More than Theory Needed

But, as we said above, making a good automo-
bile is more than just mechanical design. a car
could have all the up-to-date features found in the
Chalmers and still be a failure. The vital organs OF
all men are much the same, yet some men are in all
respects superior to others. You do not take a chance
when you buy a Chalmers.
Something else you get in a Chalmers and IL no
other car in the appearance-the looks pecul9r to
this car.
Many designers" hearing the praise Of the public,
have copied the lines Of the Chalmers car. But a
copy never equals the original, and SO the Chalmers
has remained in a class alone for good looks and style
and distinction.
Appearance is one of the most important standards
for judging a car. In every person there dwells a
liking for beautiful things. You see your car dozens
of times a day. If it has graceful lines and fine
finish, it will please you all the more from month
to month and year to year.

Advertising Claims Don't Make Good Cars

Further, it takes more than advertising claims to
make a ~frst-class automobile. Anyone can write an
advertisement. No doubt a great many people can
write better advertisements than this one. AS to
whether anyone else can-or does-build at the price
as good a motor car as this advertisement aims to
tell about, is another question-one which you, as
a buyer, must settle for yourself.
Advertising never added one iota to the value of
any automobile. All that advertising can do is tell of
the good points of an automobile, if it has them, or
lie about them if it has them not.
Good automobiles are the result of right speciica-
tons right materials right parts put together in the
right way, and tested in the right way; the whole
finished in the right way, and all Of it backed up by
a good organization that is in the business to stay
and give service.
We once heard of a man who wrote a book. He
submitted the book to a critic with the remark that
it ought to make him famous because he had used
the same number of words Shakespeare used in his
plays-namely 1900. However, the critic decided
the author hadn't put the words together quite the
same way Shakespeare did, so the book was never
heard of again.
Taking a group Of automobile builders, how will
you find out which has got the best results out of the
materials and the capital at his disposal? How will

1t must be hard for the rlan interested in motor
cars to know just which car to buy. SO many claims,
confusing because they are SO much alike, are made
by the various companies that it must be difficult to
sift them and locate the car most worthy of invest
ment.
One company advertises that it has 10000 owners,
all satisfied"
Another company advertises that it has $4,000
owners, also 'all satisfied"
One company advertises that it has p acres of
factory floor space. Another says that it has 81
acres-tI1erefore you should buy its car rather than
the product Of the other concern.
One company employs 5000 men; and another
company employs 5,ooI men. These are cited as
reasons for buying one car rather than another.
Every car, according to the advertisements, has
the most u~p-to-date design" the finest materials
money can buy And in the building of every one
OF them there was employed nothing but the highest
grade Of workmanship

you decide which car to buy?
Suppose you try this method once: Ask yourself what
it is you can get in one car which you can't get in any
other?
To be specific, what is there that you can get IN a
Chalmer 80 which you cannot get in any other
car Of the 81 5oo-S2ooo class;
There are many things. Here are a few which
you should consider:
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1911-04-20
What You Can Get Only in the Chalmers

First of all, you can get in a Chalmer 80, more
than in any other car, simplicity OF design 7vhich las
been proceed. A few other cars, with feature, pa;
termed after the Chalmers, claiming equal simplicity,
have not been put to the test OF Use by thousands
of owners.
The Chalmers 80 was the first American car to
have all such advanced features as en- bloc cylinder
casting, two-bearing crank shaft, unit construction
Of clutch and transmission, single pedal control,
double drop frame.

Horses and Motor Cars

Most automobile buyers have owned horses, and
they understand what we mean when we say that
there is the same difference in appearance between the
Chalmers and many other cars as there Is between
the thoroughbred horse and one OF common stock.
You can tell the difference in the horse, a long way
off as they come down the street. And you can tell
it in automobiles the same way.
In the Chalmers you get a degree OF comfort and
safety which you cannot get in any other car at any
where near the same price. The Chalmers 80 has
a long wheel base-II5 inches. 1t has a heavy frame,
34-inch wheels, and long, three-quarter elliptic rear
springs. The seats are tilted and perfectly up
holstered. There is no car at any price which gives
more comfort under all conditions than the Chalmers
go You can prove this for yourself. No one has
ever ridden in this car without praising its excellent
riding qualities.
The Factors of Safety in a car are Wheels, Frame,
Steering Connections and Brakes. We make the
statement, and stand ready to have you investigate
it, that in no car at the price can you get the same
size and quality in these all-important Factors of
Safety.
You cannot get any other car with such a perform
ance record as the Chalmers go" boasts. Many
companies advertise vaguely that their cars have won
scores Of motoring contests" What were they:
Little local events, mostly, or self-appointed endur-
ance runs.
