CHANDLER PRICE
INCREASE WASLOW
Andrew Redmond, Local Dis
tributor, Says Dealers Expect
ed Bigger Increase

K The new Chandler price-$1395-
came as pleasant surprise to Chand-
Ter dealers, according to Andrew Red
mond, local Chandler dealer.
1T had been known, and publicly
announced, for weeks, that on Decem-
ber first the price would advanced
said Mr.. Redmond. 1T had been
known that the cost of producing the
Chandler had increased little more
than 10 per cent. in a years time
We dealers had felt sure that the price
would advance at least $3.50 and that
such an advance would be exceedingly
reasonable.
$50 when we went to the factory
for our 1917 contracts and found hat
the company would advance the price
only 500 we were delighted and that
is stating it mildly.
Tie Chandler at 1895 now has
fully as great an advantage in the
matter of relative prices as the Chand-
ler has ever had. And the Chandler
has always offered attractive prices
"A greater advance would have been
justified, but the Chandler Company
knows how much it means to mar
ket a car of excessive value" con-
tinued Mr.. Redmond. Always the
factory has followed this policy and
would not drop it now, even though
the car is so we'll established as to
make the factor of price leadership
less important to us than it was q
year ago or two years ago. Never
theless the factory has cut their per

Says Cadillac Eight
Is a Masterpiece

From an engineering standpoint
the Cadillac Eight is a masterpiece"
says +. Paul Anderson, Dean of the
College of Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering of Kentucky State Uni
Nersity after testing and demonstrat-
ing the car before the students.
The car was loaned to the college,
at Professor Anderson's request, out
of the stock OF the Lexington Cadillac
Company at Lexington, Ky. At the
conclusion of his tests, Professor An
derson wrote to the company, saying:
From an engineering standpoint,
this car is masterpiece, and we were
little surprised when IL ran with no
vibration at fifty-eight miles per hour,
which was the highest we ran it,
Although this car was not tuned
up for the test, it pulled $50 pounds
at forty-eight miles an hour, develop
Ing 70.4 horsepower,
I'VE will say that since the in
stallation of our testing plant. this is
the only car that has ever been able
to keep itself cool under high speed
test; our usual practice being to cool
the radiator with auxiliary water con-
nection, which you understand is to
compensate for that part of the cool
ing due to windage on the road"

COUNTRY CLUB
ROADSTER A HIT
New Addition to Overland Line
Attracted Prominent Atten-
ton at Auto Show

The Overland Country Club road
ster. on exhibition at the auto show
this week, Is attracting more than the
usual amount of attention among
show patrons. The crowds which sur
round 1t demonstrate clearly that this
smallest member of the Overland fam
ily is going to be one of the best SELL
ers of the 1917 line.
When the Willys-O Overland Com
pany staged the biggest dealers con-
vention ever held in the history of the
automobile industry at Toledo last
month, one of its chief attractions
was the complete line of new Over
land and Willys-Knight models on
exhibition at the factory's show
rooms. The convention had been in
session less than a week when it be-
came evident to officials of the COM
pany that the entire production of
Country Club roadsters would be in
sufficient to meet the demands of its
dealers.
Z. NJ. Bachrach, the Overland deal
er at Manila, travelled thousands OF
miles in order to attend the conven-
q certified check for 100000 and was
so enthusiastic over the appearance
and performance of the Country Club
roadster that he was half inclined to
invest the whole amount in this one
model alone.
However, after looking over the
various other new models, which are
said to compose the most complete
line of cars ever produced by one fac
tory and which were designed to meet
the requirements of all classes of buy
erS, Mr.. Bachrach changed his mind.
He decided not to place his eggs all
in one basket and even though he
knew the little sport model would
fill a 1ong-felt want in his territory,
he realized that there were hundreds
of prospective buyers in Manila to
whom the larger and higher priced
cars would make stronger appeal.
Mr.. Bachrach's enthusiasm over the
Country Club sport model was shared
by every one of the 5000 dealers who
attended the Overland convention.
Every man who observed it had some
thing good to say about it. Those who
cared to, tried it out over the country
roads and the CITY thoroughfares and
were delighted with its performances.
Its light weight and short wheelbase
enabled them TO handle ii easily in
any kind of traffic. The powerful four
cylinder gave them all the speed and
distance they were looking for.
"One would think that the Country
Club Roadster is a curiosity of some
kind, judging from the attention it is
attracting" said Carl Hanson. of the
Overland Company, at the Overland
and Willys-Knight exhibit last night.
In a way it is a curiosity, because il
is the only real smart sport model in
the low-priced class but it is a prac-
teal car from base to top. designed to
answer the requirements of vast
army of buyers who want a distinctive
type of automobile at a price less than
$500"

about his appearance. If he gives you
a bad impression at first he may

Your car should be selected with

Elgin "Six" Locally
Handled by Isaac Harbold

The new Elgin six" with its many
refinements and improvements, has
made it's debut in the world of motor
com. With it's feminine features of
fineness and it's masculine atmosphere
of strength, the latest 1917 Elgin Six
is attracting wide attention. Clean
simplicity, together with long yacht
like line bespeaking power and grace,
ar the outstanding features of the
1917 models. Two models are brought
out this year by the Elgin company-a
ive-passenger touring car and four
passenger roadster. Both bodies are
mounted on the same chassis.
Isaac Harbold has the local distri-
button of this newcomer to this terri
tory and the prospects of its popular
ity at an early date are extremely
good.
