CHALMERS CLOSED
CARS ON DISPLAY
Observed by Dealers of Nation;
Smart Body Lines Dis
tinguish 1917 Cars

To mark the formal opening of the
closed car season, 1900 Chalmers
dealers in all sections of the country
observed the week of October 2 as
Closed Car Week, and held a con-
tinuous public reception for six days
and nights. All salesrooms were
specially decorated for the occasion
and some of the larger distributors
provide music and other entertain
ment during the week.
With interiors designed by Lady
Duff Gordon, famous as Lucille" of
Fifth avenue prestige, the new Chal-
mers town car limousine and touring
sedan, are the last word in luxury
and completeness of equipment. Until
recently women motorists have paid
but scant attention to the upholstery
or trimmings of closed cars. When it
became apparent that milady was
growing more particular each season,
Chalmers designers called upon Lady
Duff Gordon as the recognized
feminine authority on styles and
fabrics.
I'VE are in the midst of a color
renaissance-the heyday of vari-tinted
tapestries and brocades," says Lady
Duff Gordon in announcing her selec-
tions for Chalmers closed cars. The

factor in the big things which his
rapidly growing organization is doing.
However, this time. he was bonn
barded with questionssand. in his own
way told why the Pullman car has
just closed a tremendously prosper
Gus season.
"Mr. Hayden, what has caused your
company's big success in tho last
year?" he was asked.
Gentlemen, we have. been very
successful, as the records of our pro-
duction and sales will testify" said
Mr.. Hayden, las the direct result of
the most judicious forethought in the
marketing of our cars, in their maxi
ing and in the buying of the raw ma
terials which go into them. Months
before other manufacturers saw the
handwriting on the wall we signed

Studebaker Output Will
Be 10000 in 1917

An output of 10000 Studebaker
cars month, or 10000 for the year
1917, will be made possible as a result
OF action recently taken by the Stude-
baer directors authorizing the con-
structton of new buildings and addi-
ton OF equipment, the total estimated
expenditure OF which will be ST.
100000.
Work on the new plant extensions,
at both Detroit and South Bend, is
tions will include a large modern
foundry, LOO feet long by $50 feet
wide, with four cupolas and $50 tons
daily melting capacity. Among the
Detroit additions will be a So per cent.
increase in the forge shop capacity
through the purchase of battery of
steam hammers, together with all
necessary trimming presses, forging
and heat treating furnaces, involving
an investment of more than S15O,OOO.
IheSe plant extensions of the Stude-
paker are made necessary because of
the development and growth of its
business during the past five years.
In 1911 sales amounted to S2S,4S7.S47
and included 22,555 automobiles. In
1919 the sales had increased to $751;
539,OO6, and included 46,S45 automo-
piles. In the current year sales will
approximate $70,000,00U and the num-
Der of automobiles $4,000.
-. E>oiAsi5 tIlo ANS years unQer review,
the real estate and plant investment
account of the Studebaker increased
from s1O,554 4,503 to $12,40O,493, or
less than 20 per cent, while the
volume of business has increased more
than 900 per cent. Thus, Studebaker
has been able to greatly increase its
production, without materially in
creasing its investment in real estate
and plants
Now, however, with the recognized
need of building at least 10000 cars
TO meet the 1917 demand, the Stude-
baker officials decided that this great
ly increased production can be made
possible only by extending the present
factory facilities
According to ]. G. Heaslet. vice.
president in charge of engineering
and production, the policy of adding
to its facilities will enable Studebaker
to the fullest extent to manufacture
in it's own works practically all the
parts that enter into the construction
of its automobiles. The contracts for

travelling in squads of a bakers
dozen, the New York automobile edi-
tors usually get what they're after.
The day of the single-handed inter-
view is long since dead in the metro
poliis.
One day recently. II. w. Hayden,
the human dynamo of the Pullman
Motor Car Company, while on one of
his flying trips to New York, was
"cornered" and with his back to the
wall, was forced by young army of
motor writing experts to reveal some
of the inside things about the Won
derful growth of his company
Although a thirty-third degree ad-
vertising fan, Mr.. Hayden is of a re-
firing disposition when 1t comes right

somber tones of past seasons, whether
in Madames chapeaux, her gowns, the
trappings of living room and sun par
lor. or the interior fittings Of her
faVorite motor, have given place TO
riot of color.
"On the whole the grays are pre-
ferable for closed car trimming. But
taking rich pearl as standard, 1
have chosen a wide variety or stripes,
checks and plaids to humor Individual
tastes. For both town car ana
limousine a wide standard assortment
is offered, but for the sedan l have
selected q black and white Bedford
cloth and versailles Buff. A big favor
ite this season is a deep Lincoln check
on tan field. l am particularly fond
of a tan tapestry, delicately woven
with pale rose fgures. Then there Is
c rich brocade in either silver or tan.
My selection for the 1917 Chalmers
interiors were made easy by the taste
full range of coolr schemes which
characterize the bodies. For the first
time | am convinced that 1t is un-
necessary to make an outlay in eXcess )
of $4,000 for the most luxurious of
town cars or limousines. The utmost
to be desired in fashion and good
sense can be secured to-day in closed
cars at a price in the vicinity of that
figure"
Most striking among the new Chal-
mers closed models is the touring
sedan for all-year-round use. Follow
ing the slanting lines Of the wind
shield, the body design is new with
out being bizarre. Seating six pass
engers, the sedan can be changed in
a few moments from q winter
limousine to a summer touring car.
The glass sides fold away neatly into
special compartments and the change
can easily be made even by women
passengers. The drivers seat is of the
club chair type, deeply upholstered.
Next to it, but separated by an aisle,
is a folding chair seat that swings out
of the way when not in use. Up
holstery Is of heavy Bedford cloth,
which comes in either black and white
or bluff.
The Chalmers town car is of the
type rapidly gaining popularity among
city dwellers. The driving compart-
ment is open, allowing unobstructed
view in all directions. But the driver
and footman are shielded from the ele-
ments by an emergency storm curtain.
Within the enclosed compartment
there are accommodations for five.
The two auxiliary seats when not in
use are folded away in the compart-
ment wall and are invisible. Listed
with the very complete equipment of
all Chalmers closed cars ure two cleo
tric dome lights, clock, chophone
speaking tube, lounging pillow, has
sock and robe rail. A dainty toilette
smoking set are placed in panels and

Grant Six Sets New
Notwithstanding Mark

BY travelling through almost noun
famous country from New York to
Boston and back again with first and
second speed gears removed to neces-
state speeding on high" all the way,
a Grant stock car has set new mark
for hill climbing efficiency, according
to an announcement Just made by j.
C. Kerrison, of the Baystate associa-
ton.
Shooting without apparent effort
over the steepest hills while other
cars on the road seemed to have the
greatest difficulty in climbing with
the use OF all three speeds, the Grant
six-cylinder roadster completed tAe
journey of 500 miles in Is hours and
is minutes. The average speed was
27.S miles an hour, while the fuel con-
sumption was remarkably low, being
an average of one gallon of gasoline
to every III miles.
Driven by Joseph j. Ryan, of the
Hollander- Randall Co, Inc, New
York, The Grant Roadster started
at / o'clock in the afternoon from
Columbus Circle. New York, with its
mechanism sealed.
When the car arrived back at it's
starting point next day, after running
over the most difficult country for
more than 1s hours with only the
most necessary and the most brief
stops, the mechanism seals were in
tact.
Examination by Mr.. Kerrison re-
veaIed that the Grant Six had gone
through one of the most severe tests
to which an automobile can be sub
iected and was still in perfect con-
dition.
The time made by the Grant road
ster would have been even lower if
there had not been a blowout during
the first half of the trip, which was
made in 8 hours and 1 5 minutes. The
return from Boston was completed in
an even 8 hours.

big contracts that were sure to tide
us over any exigency.
Later the other parties to these
contracts offered us undreamed of
inducements to cancel. We could not
have Cancelled them If we had want
ed to. Our years production had
been signed up for specified dates. 1t
was our master stroke, the very heart
of the greatest success which has at
tended any one of the thirteen years
in which the company has been in
business.
II believe a large factor in the
growth of our company is the fact
that we have enjoyed an immense
share of the tidal wave of popular
priced car buying, which broke slowly
at first but is increasing every month
with gigantic force"

''See you later," said Williams, ana several of. his companions looked at him strangely. The foreman's eyes were fixed on the watch.
 Collie hdd also heard, and he dvg his unspurred heels into the ponys jsides. She leaped straight for the cor ral gate and freedom. With a batter of 'hoofs, stin legged, she jolted toward the plain.
 A few short jumps, a fshlike swirl sideways, and still Collie held his seat. He eased the ,hackamore little. He wasI breathing hard. The horse took up the slack with ai vicious plunge, head downward. The boys face grew white. He felt something warm trick ling down his mouth and chin. He threw back his head and gripped with his knees.
 'They're offr' halloed a puncher.
 "Only one of 'em-so far," said VII Hams. "One minute and thirty sec onds"
 Then, like bolt of copper light. the pony shot forward at run.
 On the ranch house veranda sat Wal ter Stone conversing with his host, where several girls, bright faced and gowned in. cool white, were talking and laughing.
 The pony headed straight for'the veranda. The laughing group jumped to their feet. Collie, using both hands, swung the hackamore, across the out laws neck and rugged.
 His head was snapped back and then forward at every plunge. Still he gripped the saddle with rigid knees. The outlaw bucked again and flung herself viciously sideways, turning com pletely round. Collie pitched drunk enly as the horse came down again and again. His eyes were blurred and his brain grew numb. Faintly he heard Brand Williams cry: Two min utes! Moonstone winsp' Then came a cheer. His gripping knees relaxed. He reeled and all around him the air grew streaked with slivers of piercing fire. He pitched headforemost at the feet of the group on the veranda.
 In flash Louise Lacharme was be- side him kneeling and supporting his head. "Waterr' she cried, wiping his face with her handkerchief.
 The pony, with hackamore dangling, raced across the plain toward the hills.
 "This'n do jest as well," said Will Hams, pouring a mouthful of whisky between Colhe's lips. Then the taci- turn foreman lifted the youth to his z feet. Collie dragged along, stepping shakily. "Dern little fool!' said VII Hams affectionately. You a4n't' sat isfied to get killed where you belong, but you got to go and splatter yourself all over the front yard in fropt of the ladies.

 Then Williams did on unaccourtable thing. He hunted among the crowd till he found the man who had said, "Why, that ain't ridin'." He asked the man quietly if he had made such a remark. The other replied that he had. Then Williams promptly knocked him down with all the wiry strength of his six feet of bone and muscle. 'Take that home and look at it." he remarked, walking away.

 Miguel of the Moonstone removed his sombcero and gravely passed it. Flowers for the Collie kid," he said solemnly.
 Collie, grave, alert, little white be heath his tan, called for Williams to hold the.pony. Then the younger man, talking to her meanwhile, slipped off the bride and adjusted <hackamore in. its phce. He. frightened the cinchas. The men had ceased joking. Evidently the kid meant business. Next he re- moved his spurs and flung them, with his qufrt, in a corner.
 "Jest defending yourself, eh, Yuma girlr' he said. 'They cut all the sense out of you with a horse killin' bit and rip you with the spurs and expect y6u to behave"
 "He'n be teachin' her to say her prayers next" observed Bud Light. '.He's gettin' spell on her now" He'll need all his for himself" said Pars Long,
 The pony finched and sided away as Collie tried to mount. Her glossy ears were fattened and the rims of her eyes showed white.
 "Jumpf' whispered Williams. And don't rough her. Mebby you'll win out" With a leap the Moonstone rider was in the saddle. The pony shook her head as he refined her round to- ward the corral gate. The men stared. Gleason swore.
 Here's where she goes to it." said Williams.
 "whoopI Let Ter buckr' shouted the crowd.
 Rebellion swelled in the pony's rip bling muscles. She waited, fore feet braced, for the first sting of the quirt. the first rip of the spurs, to turn her self into a hellish thing of plunging destruction.
 Collie, leaning forward, patted her neck. Come on, sis. Come on, Yuma girl. You're just little hummingbird. You ain't a real horse."
 With a leap the pony reared. Still there came no sting of spur or quirt. She dropped to her. feet. Collie had cleverly consumed a minute of the al lotted time.
