CHALMERS TOURING CAR
BEATS DIXIE FLYER.
With Amateur Driver the Chalmers
Touring Car Beats Famous Train
Atlanta 10 Chattanooga.

Drawing down the third American
road record to be captured by Chal-
ners Siy-30 in the past three weeks,
Homer C. George. newspaperman and
amateur driver of Atlanta, Ca, has
inst lowered all road and rail records
between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
Tenn. Mr.. George drove five-passen-
ger Chalmers touring car which has
been used as a demonstration by the
Atlanta dealer for the past seven
months.
In lowering the road record formerly
held by X. T. McKinstry in REQ Six
George also bettered the time of the
famous Dixie Flyer, the fastest pas
senger train running in the south, by
seven minutes. The 3,t00 n. p. M.
Chalmers made the 125 miles between
Atlanta and Chattanooga In three
hours and fifty-three minutes, or
thirty-seven minutes faster than the
Peo Six.
"Our record Of thirty-three miles
per hour for the trip Is rendered all
the more remarkable by the conditions
under which the test was run" said
Mr. George at the conclusion of his
trip. "The car, a dealers demonstra-
tor, was fully equipped, and had re-
ceived no special tuning up for the
event. Twenty miles of the run were
made through heavy rain and we were
also held up in crossing the mountains
and by meeting big droves of cattle on
the road. The many sharp turns and
twists in the mountain road made
high speed work extremely dangerous
and we had to slow down to a walking
pace at times. The performance of
the high speed motor in the Chalmers
Six-30 was absolutely faultless. Not
missed explosion or stop for repairs
marred the trip and believe faster
time could be obtained by my car
under more favorable weather condi-
tons"
Mr.. George was checked out from
the Grady Monument in the center Of
Atlanta's business district by Robert
Moran, City Editor Of the Atlanta Con-
situation, at $40 a. m. June Gath. He
was checked at Chattanooga by w. G.
Foster Sporting Editor of the Chat
tanooga Times.

The way to make town prosper
Gus is to keep every dollar possible
at home and in circulation. If we
cannot keep all of it here, let's try to
keep some portion Of it among us.
SO far as feasible we should patronize
eachother and make each person in
business here as prosperous as we can.
And remember that this Is just as ap-
plicable to the home merchant himself
as to any other member of the COM
munity. Right now there is consider
able money being sent out of town for
commodities that might be had at
home.
