This Great Car Leads All Sizes
 Because of Its Marvellous Motor

Thousands of men and women who would pay hundreds of dollars more for an automobile, if PAYING more would GET them more, choose the Chandler They are not seekers after low price, They desire the best sx-cylinder motor regardless of price. They desire Six because time has shown that sixcylinder motor, correctly designed, gives all the power and all the FLEXIBILTTY of power that any motor give; that such motor has the life and snap and "go' they desire; that such mo- tor is genuinely economical in cost of operation.
 So these devotees of the Six choose the Chandler, because through four years of inteli- gent, conscientious, manufacturing effort and without radical or experimental changes of design, the Chandler motor has been developed to point approximatng perfection.
 Chandler Low Price is
 Important, Too
 While with so many the question of price is of secondary consideration, still Chandler leads in price today quite as distinctly as has always led

/ in the face of advanced cost of all materials and labor, the Chandler price is but $lO0 higher than two years ago. And the is finer than then. Not feature has been cut out of it. Much has been added.
 AND OTHER CARS IN THE CHANDLER FIELD HAVE ADVANCED AS MUCH AS THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS THE PAST YEAR, EITHER BECAUSE OF NECESSITY OR OPPORTUNITY.
 The Chandler Company has not been willing to take advantage of situation which would have permitted price imitation.
 And this year shall probably build and sell ' more cars than any other manufacturer building car or even similar quality.

on merchant ships, and have had losses
which ought to make the German naval
administrator nervous.

coaster and a German submarine took

grounds for some time. To make an end
to this continuous menace. of the fishing
fleet the admiralty decided that the
coaster should be specially commissioned
manned by experienced and picked fish
ermen who had all seen war service. The
coaster sailed with the fishing fleet, and,
az expected. was promptly attacked by
the U-boat, which closed on her, firing
hard to within 500 meters.
Then. just after the coaster had been

shells planted at the base OF the u-boat,s

tried to submerge. 1t managed only to
dip its bows stecply under and there re,

the thin steel hull for fully five minutes.
Then. abruptly; AZ though 1t had sudden
