new CHALMERS 1915
IS QUALITY CAR
Light Six and Master Six Set
New Standards Among
Motors

A strong bid for quality trade" Ia
perhaps the biggest feature OF the
Chalmers announcement for the 1915
season.
This Detroit company has for sew.
eral years been one OF the foremost
manufacturers OF medium-prieed cars
In America. Among other companies
building In the Chalmers price class
there has for the past year been a
tendency towards price reduction. A
move In that direction has been par
ticularly noticeable with the coming
Of the 1915 announcements.
The Chalmers company, however,
rather than announcing a reduction
In price, has announced for 1915 an
increase. In price In both the 1915
Light Six" and the 1915 Master
Six"
"our past experience, has convinced
US that there are enough people who
want quality first, and consider price
secondary. to take all of the cars We
can build" says Percy Owen, sales
manager OF the Chalmers company
Chalmers cars have never been sold
on Q price basis. We do not care to
compete with those cars which are
selling on price alone. We have q
large production, and are building
Chalmers cars Of just as high quality
as they can be built at Chalmers
prices. We are sure enough Of our
market to increase the quality OF our
cars even with the necessary increase
In price, rather than to decrease the
price at the cost OF quality to keep
pace with those cars which are sell.
ing on price alone"
The 1915 Chalmers Light Six" was
first announced last May. II was then
priced at $500. The second series of
the Chalmers Light Six" Is priced at
$3.50; the additional cost covering,
according to the company. simply the
factory cost OF added quality and ex-
ira equipment The 1914 Chalmers
Master Six" In the seven-passeng
type was priced at s2.275. The 1915
model OF this car is priced at $1,000,
an increase OF $125.
The new Chalmers models show
striking advances In body design. The
larger six Is furnished In two body
types; the seven-passenger touring
car and the five-passenger torpedo.
The Light Six has the distinctive
Chalmers-design body, and like the
larger Six" all Light Six" types are
finished at the top OF the body with
belt" in contrasting color.
Mechanically. 1915 Chalmers cars
show no radical changes. Both the
Light Six" and the Master Six
motors are OF the T.head type: the
larger developing 60 horsepower. and
the. smaller ~ horsepower More
than 5000 cars equipped with these
motors have already been put In use.
