A Typical Chalmers Performance

An average Of slightly over II
miles per gallon Of gasoline was
attained, a. exceller.- example Of
Chalmers economy.
536.8 miles, through the famous
contested Chicago Top district,
is a wonderful feat. This pcrfnr-
nance on high gear is even more
wonderful. It is without an equal.
It is an endorsement Of the
motor. It proves Chalmers reI-
ability. It demonstrates Chalmers
cooling. 1t shows Chalmers hcx-
Utility and perfect control. It is a
new achievement.
A condensed summary of the
signed certificate issued by the
Contest Board of the American
Automobile Association, under
whose supervision the test was
made, is reproduced below.

fAt ~ noon, MOnCay, NaIcH 10,
a stock Chalmers seven passenger
touring car with first and second
gears removed, was started north
ON Michigan Boulevard through
Chicago t--aff1c.
At noon Tuesday, March y,
the Chalmers was stopped at the
starting point. It had gone 586.8
miles through Chicago's densest
traffic. The motor had never been
stopped. Nothing but high gear
was used.
To prove conclusively Chalmers
fexibility on high gear, the low
and intermediate gears were re-
moved from the transmission.
