1913 Auto Output
Taken by Farmers
According to Mr.. c. A. Reeder, Local
Chalmers Representative. Frugal
and Thrifty Tillers of the Soil are
Buying Only the Best Makes of Cars
This Year.

1t is estimated by automobile mar
keting authorities that the people liv-
ing outside the large centers of popu-
lation will buy the big majority of the
motor car output this year. This par
ticularly applies to the Northwest,
where the rural population has at
tained the state of wealth where it's
thoughts turn toward pleasure and
social advancement. Since the farm
ers and prosperous residents of the
smaller towns and cities in this sec
tion will buy hundreds of autOmo-
biles during 1913, it is we'll that they
have some data on which to base their
judgment when selecting a car.
Farmers probably are the hardest
customers" in one sense, that the
automobile salesman has to deal with
Frugal and thrifty they have gather
ed their fortunes by hard work ana
conscientious effort, and they part
with their money only after the clos
est investigation and after being thor
oughly convinced that they are get
ting the best value for the money.
Chalmers automobiles are popular
in the country. Not merely because
they represent the highest develop
ment in beauty of finish, but because
they are strong, durable, economically
operated and stand we'll the severe
strain the motor car generally is put
TO in country use. 1t is infrequent,
indeed, that you find a dissatisfied
Chalmers owner in the country. The
cars-every one of them-are built of
the finest material obtainable.
There is a noticeable tendency on
the part of country buyers to pur-
chase high grade cars this year" said
c. A. Reeder, the Chalmers repre-
sentative. They have passed that
stage where they think it is economy
to buy the cheap machine. They re-
alize now that they get better dollar
for dollar value by buying the car that
is made for permanency:
Il can distinctly remember the time
when it was virtually impossible to
sell a $4,000 automobile in the coun-
try. That day has passed for good. 1t
is comparatively easy now to show
the people the value of a car like the
Nlld lhSy appreciate Ailcll NIlSi
getting an automobile like this they
are not buying for the immediate
present, but are purchasing something
that will be just as good 10 years
later and will give fine service long
after it has paid for itself.
automobile building has changed
remarkably. The demand used to be
So GREAT that the manufacturer was
not forced to build particularly good,
He could sort of throw the car to-
gether and let it go at that. You see,
they didn't think much of the motor
car in those days and it wasn't sup
posed to last a terribly long time.
Now they want motor car that will
give good service indefinitely. That
is why they are buying cars like the
Chalmers.

"Here, on the Roof of the Continent,

NOBILITY of natures own creation"
"Marvelous RADIANCE of changing

All the rest of the beautiful words in

still the word picture would not be ade-

it is impossible even to do justice to the
