PRESENT MODEL
An Important Announce
ment Made by Chandler
Motor Company.

One of the most important recent
announcements in automobile circles
is the announcement just issued by the
Chandler Motor Car company of
Cleveland to the effect that for the
coming season the Chandler company
will continue its present model, and
that there will be no reduction in price
of Chandler cars. The announcement
adds that in all probability the Chand-
Ter price will be advanced.
There is no doubt regarding what
the Chandler Motor Car company is
going to offer its patrons for the COM
ing season." says Thomas Bowler, local
agent. II have just received word
from Cleveland that the factory has
decided to let well enough alone and
that no radical changes are contem
plated for 1917. The wonderful success
of the Chandler company is due to the
fact that it has established an enviable
reputation for itself. and has concen-
trated on a six cylinder car that has
made good and is steadily increasing
In popularity all over the United States
The factory officials have decided to
continue the present Chandler Six for
another season. 1t would be difficult
matter to improve on the marvellous
motor which has become famous for its
remark able power, fleXibility, simplicity
and economy. This motor has stood
the test of time and it is giving the
very best of service to owners of
Chandler cars. All that we hear is
comment Of the most favorable nature
regarding the way 1t is standing up
and delivering the goods.
what is true OF the motor applies
with equal force to the beautiful wal
nut panelled tonneau-cowl type of
bodies, with soft deep cushions and lus-
trous finish. These body types are
recognized as being in class by them
selves and they were so far in ADVANCE
when first introduced that they have
become an accepted standard in high
grade body building.
Regarding the price l am assured
that the Chandler will not be sold at a
lower figure, but in all probability, an
advance in price will be made.
while the Chandler company has
been very successful from the start it
was the price announced a year ago
last February that gave the Chandler
its greatest boom. When that an
nouncement was made the Chandler es-
tablshed a new standard of value in
up-to date motor cars. This value
was made possible through quantity
production and the boom is still under
way. In 1916, the production Of Chand-
Ter cars will be $1,000 and in 1917 the
production will be at least 10000 cars
Contracts have already been placed fol
materials for this production and the
Chandler we are now offering our nat
rons will be just as up-to-date next
spring as the cars that will be coming
through from the factory at that time.
