NEW CHALM MFRS MAKING \
 SALES RECORDS IN STATE

Two more popular New Six" Chal- mers were sold last week by the O'Nein Auto and Supply company. One of the buyers was A. H. Stout, the well known merchant and cattle man of Gila Bed, while the other car went to l. J. Johnson, local representative of the New York Life insurance company. This car is proving to be d most re- markable seller all over the country and the fact that eight of the first ten cars to finish at Indianapolis were equipped with overhead valves and cam shaft. as is this new Chalmers, has given another impetus to it's sales.
 Tom Trent, manager of the 0'Neill concern has just returned from visits to Prescott and Florence and reports most pleasant and satisfactory busi- ness. He travelled in one of the new cars and says that the cantilever spring suspension makes it wonderfully easy riding on mountain roads.
 The O'Neill company which recently secured the state agency for Havol-Ie oil have already sold out their first carload. Their first shipment of the new Goodyear cord tires was also re- ceived a lew days ago.
