The Chalmers Policy

The Chalmers Company is free Of debt. It is
not harnpered by "entangling alliances" Its pol
icy is now Just t, what it has always been namely
and service guaranteed.
These are some Of the things you can get in a
Chalmers and in no other car. We have stated
them strongly because we want to impress upon
automobile buyers the desirability Of getting
away from glowing advertising claims and get
ting down to the cars themseves-to an examine
ton Of what is really i'll them and Of what stands
back Of them.
We are not "knocking.'' There are other good cars
besides the Chalmers. But where there another as
good, there dozen we know as eood-and il
is the dozen we have in mind when we say-STUDY
THE CARS.
Our contention is that the Chalmers is the ..bcst
buythe finest dollar for dollar value If we can't
1t, can't hope to your order; but want
chance to prove it and ask you soon to see
the car, or let US know when may bring car TO
you. "a.

An Unequa1led Record

What has the Chalmers "3O' done? For two
seasons it was entered in every road race Of IA
tonal prominence for light cars, and it won in
every one of them.
This is the car which won the Indiana Trophy
Race starting last and finishing first in a field Of
ninetecn-the best field Of light cars ever in an
American road race.
This is the car which won first and second in
the Jericho Sweepstakes. It was the Chalmers
go which won the National Light Stock Chassis
Race at Lowell, and the famous Santa Monica
Race in California. M
And it was Chalmers $50" which Won the
Alassapequa Trophy in the Vanderbilt and set
worlds speed record for cars of this cass-a rec
ord which still stands, in spite of many efforts to
better it.
This is the which was given the title Of
champion car because it won a higher per-
centage OF events entered than any other. j
This is the car which proved itself as good in
touring contests as in road races bv Winning the
Glidden Trophy in the longest and hardest tour
ing contest ever held. 1t the first car costing
less than $4,000 to win this honor
This is The car piich has neacy been defeated
in motoring contest BY a car OF its oml Price and
botper class.
When any one talks about contests, ask them
Il to show you a record like the Chalmers 80"
When you buy Chalmers you buy duplicate
OF the car which won the Gliddcn Tour Yon
cannot get this record of performance with any
car which completes with the Chalmers in price

Analyze Pulling Claims

The man who reads these claims must be puz
lied to know what to do. The advertisements
would lead him to think that all cars are equally
worth his money, that he might as we'll simply
close his eyes and choose one.
And yet this does not seem quite reasonable
In any group Of half dozen makes, selling at
about the same price, there must be one, or pos
sibly two, which are better than Others More
over, 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 rates Of fare Yet nothing is 50 plain as
that some railroads are vastly better than others
The difference comes in the way the materials are
handled.
It takes more than set Of specifications blue
prints, mass of steel wood and rubber, and
buildings filled with machinery, to make a first
class automobile Just the same as it takes more
than rght-oi-way and engines and cars to make
first class railroad.

How Will You Decide Which Car to Buv?
Some Horse Sense About Automobiles

It must be hard for the man interested
in motor cars to know just which car to
buy. So many Claims confusing because
they are 50 much alike, are made BY the
various companies that it must be difficult
< to sift them and locate the car most
worthy Of investment.
One company advertises that it has
10000 owners, all satisfied
Another company advertises that it has
$4,000 owners, also all satisfied
One company advertses that it has 81.
acres Of factory floor space. Another saws
that it has 81 acres therefore you should
buy its car rather than the product Of the
other concern.
One company employs 5000 men; and
another company employs 5OO1 men.
These are cited as reasons for buying one
Car rather than another
Every car, according to the advertise
ments, has the most up-to-clate 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 orkmanship."

Advertising Claims Don't Make
Good Cars.

Further, it takes more than advertising claims
to make flrst-class automobile Anv one Can
write an advertisement. No doubt great MANY
people can write better advertisements than this
one. As to whether any one else can--or does
build at the price good motor car as this adj
vertsement aims to tell about is another question
one which YOU as a buyer, must settle for
yourself
Advertising never added one iota to the vauc
Of any automobile. All that advertising can do is
tell Of the good points of an automobile. if if has
them, or lie about them if it has them not.
Good automobiles are the result of right spcci
hcations right materials; right parts put together
in the right way, and tested i'll the right way; the
whole finished in the right way, and ali Of it
backed up by good organization that is in the
business to stay and give service
We once heard Of a man who wrote book
He submitted the book to critic with the remark
that it ought to make him famous because he nd
used the same number OF words Shakespeare used

decided the author hadn' put the words together
quite the same way Shakespeare did so the book
was never heard Of again

Horses and Motor Cars

Most automobile buyers have owned horses.
and they understand what we mean when we saw
that there is the same difference in appearances
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 horses a long way off as they come down the
street. And you can tell it in automobiles the
same way.
In Chalmers you get degree Of comfort and
safety which you cannot get in any other car at
anywhere near the same price. The Chalmers
80" has long wheel base-115 inches. II has
a heavy frame 34-inch wheels, and long, three
quarter elliptic rear springs. The seats are tilted
and perfectly upholstered. There is no car at any
price which gives more comfort under all condi-
tions than the Chalmers 800" You can prove
this for yourself. No one has ever ridden in this
car without Praisng 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 at the price can you
get the same size and quality in these a-n1por-
tant Factors of Safety.
You cannot get any other car with such per-
Torrance record as the Chalmers "3O boasts.

There's Everything in a Name

U
Another thing you get in Chalmers which
you can get in no other car, is the medallion on
the radiator - the trademark - the Chalmers
name. This trademark is your insurance that
the. car which bears it was designed by Chalmers
engineers; constructed of material which has conc
up to the Chalmers inspection standard; built
by the Chalmers organization in the Chalmers
factory; tested by the Chalmers inspection de-
partment; and backed by the guarantee Of Chal-
mers service.
