GET AGENCY FOR
CHANDLER AUTO
Standard Garage Announces
That They Will Sell New
Machine.

The management OF the Standard
Garage has announced that from now
on they win be agents for the new
Chandler car. This make OF car Is
something new to most FaIrmont res
idents. There are many good tea'
lures about the Chandler that Mr.,
Morris, the Manager Of the Standard
Garage takes pleasure in explaining
One OF them Is the auxiliary seating
ARRANGEMENT in the tonneau. When
not in use the extra seats are out OF
sight. folding up in the back OF the
front seats.
Another feature Of this q Is the
main gear on the rear axle. THIS
make Of a is found only in the
highest priced cars. The cost Of the
Chandler is 1925. The makers OF the
Chandler are all men Of long and va
ried experience In the automobile n
and for this reason the best OF mater
ial is put into this moderate priced
ear. The same finished appearance
that the finest car in America have
Is the boast Of this car.
The Daimler Of England. the Pan
hard, OF france, the MlueINd "a OSH
GUM and the Mercedes OF Germany all
rank the same as this car made IN
Cleveland.
A trophy now on display in the OF.
fees Of the company in New York
bears out the statement that there Is
no better engine on the market than
that which is made in the Chandler
factory at Cleveland. This trophy is
for running the slowest speed on high
gear than any other Ear. This is a
good test to decide the amount OF con-
troll a driver has " his car.
The organization Of the company Is
composed Of most the old Loziel
Company. This is in itself a boast Tor
the car. There is no n that viii say
that the makers OF the Lozier did not
know their business. There are very
many things that may be said about
the Chandler but will not do 1t JUS
tIce. The automobile enthusiasts IN

to be made acquainted with its won
ders.
