Should Eddie Rickenbacker. the Max
well race pilot, or any of the other speed
demons Of premier fame celebrate the
first race Of 1915 by rolling 400 miles in
two hours, or some such evolutionary
figure. the result could be nothing more
than an American record. No such
thing as a worlds record can be sue
cessfully claimed when the feat is ac-
complished in the United States under
the sanction of the American Automobile
Association.
This strange and anomalous condition
arises from the fact that, with ,harac-
teristic European aloofness, the auto
mobile judiciary across the sea recog-
nizes no Performance. in America as
really authentic.
Despite the fact that many recent
American records excel those on the

P E r S IN L

Effective March !, the price of the Chalmers Six-40
be $1450 fob. Detroit. This is an increase of 500
over the present price. 1t is made necessary by the sharp
rise in cost of raw materials.
Aluminium which sold for 10 cents a pound only a few
months ago now brings So cents.
Copper has risen from ID cents to "a cents.
Vanadium Steel a year ago brought 81 .85 a pound. Now
it sells for $3.50.
High-Speed Steel formerly at 81 y05 a pound now is
worth $3.35.
Leather formerly 20 cents a foot now brings 33 cents.
And so on.
All told, it costs 81 % more in raw material to build
the Six4O than it did some months ago. As this amount
is considerably in excess of our net profit per car, only two
courses were open to us.
One was to raise the price.
The other was to lower the quality.
TO follow the latter course meant a 'one-year'' car. This
kind Of an automobile Chalmers has never built and never
will build.
Therefore, a rise in price was the only procedure possible.
We regret that an increase in price is rec -ssary, but we
either to increase the price or use a lower grade of materials.
For it is not possible to buy superior products in the
open market at any less price than Chalmers pays.
We thi, k it only fair to those who have planned to DUR
chase the SiX-4O. and have been quoted the $3.50 price, to
take this opportunity of saying that we will accept orders
at that price up to midnight February 30. Thereafter
the price of Sl45O fob. Detroit will prevail.
