CHANDLER SIX At
STILL LOWER PRICE
Wen-Known Light Six Will Sell at
$1,595; More Power Added
Refinements

One of the sensations of the past
week in the automobile industry was
the announcement made by officials
of the Chandler Motor Car Company
of the new 1918 Chandler Six to sell
at s1,595. Although barely made pub
lie, the news of the latest move of
the Chandler people has travelled far
in short space of time. kilograms
and letters from dealers in all sections
of the country are already pouring
in at the Cleveland offices of the COM
pany, requesting the sales rights for
the coming season.
Just year ago the Chandler COM
pany occupied a pioneer position in
tho popular priced six-cylinder field.
At that time dealers and manufacture
ers claimed that high grade six
| cylinder car could not be manufac.
tured and marketed at profit, under
$4,000. That they recovered promptly
| from this delusion was evidenced by
| the prompt appearance of a dozen
| light skies on the market and the pre-
empting of the popular priced field by
cars of this type.
Successful i'm First Year
"Our announcement of a lower
priced 1915 Chandler Six is in the
| nature of q profit-sharing plan on
which our next seasons selling cam
paign will be built" says C. A. Emise,
vice-president and sales manager of
the Chandler company. THE Won
| derful success of the Chandler Six in
| its first year on the market has paved
the way for this step, which we have
/ been looking forward to for the past
twelve months. When. in the fact of
discouraging predictions and adverse
| business conditions, we placed the
| first Chandler Six on the market, we
looked to the public for vindication.
! That this has been received, and in
the most substantial manner, is evil
denced by our announcement for the
| coming year.
I'VE are planning to double our
production for 1915 and will be in
| a position to do even better than
that, should conditions warrant"
Ten Per Cent. More Power
! Notwithstanding the reduction in
price of the 1915 car. Chandler engi-
/ neers have continued their policy Of
adding refinements to the car wher-
ever possible. Among the important
advances in improvement on the 1915
model is the increase of ten per cent.
more power in the cars motor.
! Before the official announcement of
| the 1915 Chandler Six was made, Sales
Manager Emise personally visited
many of the larger Chandler dealers
and asked them for suggestions which
| might De uSeQ 10 Improve tHe new
model Outside of few minor
= changes, which had already been
! taken care of, not single new idea,
| either in equipment or design, was
/ furnished by any dealer. In the opin-
! ion of Mr.. Emise, this was one of the
greatest compliments ever paid to the
foresightedness of Chandler engineers.
Mechanical Features
One of the important features of
construction in the Chandler Six 10
the long stroke motor. The cylinders
are cast in two blocks with a bore of
3ss inches and a 5-inch stroke. All
valves are enclosed, tending toward
an exceptionally silent running car.
The cam shaft and cams are cut from
a solid forging. The engineers of the
! Chandler company, having made
special study of qualities tending to-
ward lightness, have used aluminium
! wherever possible. The entire crank
case is made of this metal, and is cast
with fianges extending to the frame
| thus eliminating the old-fashioned
unsightly oil pan used on many cars.
I Silence is emphasized by the use of
imported silent chains, which not only
drive the big front end gears, but are
utilized in driving the pump and mag
