Another Why

Why is it that sporting pages these
days are printing so much about golf?
How does this game come In for so much
space? r. l..

something over 100000 golfers in the
U. S. of a, Another reason is that this
frenzied army embraces all walks, varie-
ties, ages and sexes of life. And still
another wherefore. may enter in the fact
that golf news or golf chatter Is the
first thing golfer reads after his eager
fingers have opened the paper at the
sportive divide. Are any further reasons
required?

brings him more in touch with the
world beyond his line fence. The
demand for automobiles has spread
around the world like wild fire. This
universal demand has caused re-
yamping OF prices to meet the buy
ing capacities OF the masses.
In recognition of these facts the
Chalmers Motor company has been
led to take up quantity production.
Only bv increasing our output anc
selling our cars on a closer margin
could we afford to set q lower price
on Chalmers quality. Hence we
have added thousands Of square feet
to our factory space. employed more
men and are prepared to break all
production records for 1916.
As result we are enabled to build
this new seven-passenger Chalmers
tc. FELL at $3.50. This price has been
sensation In the whole motor car
world. II Is the lowest price we
have ever placed on Chalmers prod
ucts. We have done II without the
least sacrifice OF quality"
Two years ago Hugh Chain

sign. While aboard. Mt. Hinkley
elaborated with foreign builders
and discovered that the European
tendency was toward the valve-in-

Upon his return TO this country he
set TO work on a Chalmers motor Of
iris design The great war halted
further operations abroad and the
Chalmers company was thus nrst to
market a car built along this prin-
ciple.
The success which this type Of
motor met abroad has been duplicat,
