LATEST CHALMERS CAR
NOW ON THE MARKET
1914 Make Has Modern Ap-
pliances and Is Built for
Easy Riding

In announcing the 1914 Chalmers
"S6," at It's sensationally low price, 1t
is with much pride that we refer to
the last two seasons of this particular
model of Chalmers-the 1912 and 1913
Chalmers "36's." over 10000 Chalmers
1858 are in daily service and have
proven conclusively that they are built
up to the standard of Chalmers claims
for endurance. easy riding. mechanical
smoothness. convenience 1uxuriousness
and economy. The reduced price of the
1914 Chalmers 49, has been made pos
sible through increased production IA
cilfties and improved manufacturing
methods. While there has been no
change in the quality of materials.
number of excellent new features have
been added, which have a tendency to
beautify and simplify the car.
Tenders are Of an entirely new
model, oval design. which are very
popular abroad but very expensive to
manufacture and which for that rea-
son are used but little, even on the
very highest priced cars of America
They not only add to the graceful ap-
pearance of the car. but afford greater
protection from dust and mud. The
gasoline tank and spare tires are now
carried on the rear of the car, giving
it that much desired appearance Of
length, clean running boards and better
riding qualities and, as well, enabling
the manufacturer to make a better dis
tribution of the weight of parts and
equipment.
The new car can be even more COM
pletely controlled from the seat than
its immediate predecessor-the 1913
80" It is possible, when sitting at
the wheel of a 1914 Chalmers car, to
press button which operates the eff
cient Chalmers self-starter, control the
switch of the Gray & Davis lighting
system, increase or decrease the gaso-
line consumption of carburetor, operate
the ignition switch, gasoline pressure
pump, lights and also blow the horn.
