So many ask the same question. We never
feature price in big type. We don't sell price,
We sell car first; then tell how much it costs
afterwards.

Of course, we have car Of such decided quality,
of such extraordinary ability, Of such terrific
power from an engine that you wonder where it
all comes from-weZl, we just don't know how to
talk price when so many other things bob up in
our minds
Now take power Here it is rated at 25.3
H. when you buy your license. You get her
out in mud, or sand, or on a hi-and bing you
can just double that figure.
You have got just about 100 per cent more
power than we give her credit for.
OF course, lots Of cars have great big power.
But with most Of them you've got to pay the
piper every time you it. Those big power
cars have great big engines mostly, and great big
engines have a terrific appetite for gas. You
know, don need to tell you.
This 34OO r. D. m. Chalmers has an engine in
her that's got the kick.
You step on the accelerator button, and zip!
You never saw such spunk.
And not only power, but she gets away like a
scared horse | have to watch my foot when it
is on the little button First thing know am
