cheap piece of machinery, like the boy
with little knowledge, is sometimes a danger
thing.
Men buying better and better lawn
mowers, and reapers, and printing presses, and
gasoline engines and pumps.
Why? Because they find it pays.
Probably there's no better example of this
In the Of automobiles than Chalmers cars.
Figures show that over 7596 of men who
have bought Chalmers this year previously
owned $780, 5000 OR $500 car.
And the great big increase in Chalmers
sales (79296 in six nonths) has from
downs just like this.
In the old days Chalmers cars we're sold
for the most part in towns like New York and
Chicago.
You can find Chalmers most any time
of the day in most any block in such towns
But in the smaller communities Chalmers
most numerous today. Because the
people i'm towns like this we're quickest to see
the value, the endurance, and observe the
wonderful performance.
Particularly of this 34OO r. p. m. Chalmers,
which is, in opinion, the most able
that ever to this town.
