Parts For Motor Cars
After War Be in Demand

american manufacturers Of motor
truck parts should prepare now for
the end of the war" is the statement
of an officer of the belligerent ma
tlons who is now in this country on
business connected with the shin
ment OF munitions and motor trucks.
The answer was made TO a question
concerning the effect the end of the
war would have on American truck
makers, many of whom have been
busy in recent months with war orders.
In explanation of this statement the
officer continued:
Here in America motor trucks are
turned out in such great quantities
that the making of separate UNITS of
construction such as axles, motors and
transmissions has become an industry
in itself. The business, has deveIoped
to such an extent that the truck manu-
facturer need not make all these parts
for himself. In Europe, however. the
tendency has not been that way Every
manufacturer of motor trucks has
made as many of the parts that enter
ed into his truck as he couTG. AS a
consequence the parts business in
Europe has never reached the promf-
nence it has in the United States.
But with the end of the war there
will be a tremendous demand for
trucks in every European country and
many manufacturers in France, Ger
many, Austria and England who have
heretofore made the entire truck will.
If they wish to hold their trade in their
own countries, be forced to buy motor
and axle units outside and become to
large extent. assemblers. There is
where American parts makers will
come in. l have outlined this situation
to several makers of internal gear
drive axles already, as that is the type
of motor truck rear axle that is most
popular in Continental Europe, and
the experience during the war, 1 am in
a position to say, has strengthened
makers in their advocacy of it."

Cut in Price Should Not
Affect Quality of the Car

with the mechanical refinements
and Standardization of the motor car,
has come a universal tendency toward
lower prices asserted Hugh Chal-
mers, in referring to the reduction in
selling price just announced by the
Chalmers Motor Company.
The. season of 1915 has dropped
more surprise bombs into the lap OF
Motordom than any preceding an
nouncement period in the history OF
automobile manufacture. Some of the
builders have slashed their prices
mercilessly in a frantic endeavor tC
meet competition. In some cases this
means suicide. Wholesale reduction
in price too often means wholesale
sacrifice of quality and the one thing
that the public does not want is i
bargain counter automobile.
The salesman who foists a f1imsy
article onto his customers knows bet
ter than to go back arter a repeat
order. The success of a motor ca.
company depends on its repeat
orders. Satisfied owners are the best
statesmen.
THE people nave become educated
to the fact that 1t is not the initia
cost that drains the pockctbook. The
repair man is the fellow it pays tC
dodge.
while we are offering Chalmer.
cars at q price lower than ever be.
fore, we have not sacrificed our card,
inal principle Quality First. In order
to do this we have eliminated the mid.
dleman's profits, systematized more
thoroughly our production, bough
our raw materials for cash in grea
quantities and arranged for a quad
rupled schedule of production. AS re-
suit, the consumer can buy greater
Chalmers quality for less money thar
ever before.
THE price which we have set =ol
the "SiX-40' has been surprise t.
everyone. f. f. Leverett, managine
director of the Longacre Auto Co, oi
England, who is to handle the Chalm-
ers line in the British Isles said thai
1t would be impossible to duplicate this
car on the Continent at less thar
double the price we have fixed.
The Chalmers SKA to which Mr.
Chalmers referred has proven the SEN
sation of the season. Tt has a motor
that is absolutely unique in American
automobile building. This car has 6
valve head motor with overhead
camshaft the type which proved su-
preme at Indianapolis, at Chicago and
again at Uniontown.
The "Six-4S" is a continuation ot
the popular "Light-Six' series which
was first announced in May, 1914.
For that class which insists upor
luxury in a motor car the Chalmers
Company offers the "Master-Six' II
touring car and limousine, with a wide
variety of body styles.
