bUYERDEMANDS UNIQUE TRIAL
 FOR CHALMERS

Few automobile buyers would sit up all night to satisfy themselves on the good points of a motor car.
 But here is unique story of so-called motor wise" prospect that demanded an all night test of the famous Chalm- CTS hot-spot in the morning drove to the bank to get the money.
 In addition to proving the great qualities of the Chalmers hot-spot il the face of terrific cold it also proves, that the motor wise" automobile buy CTS are not limited to the larger cities. Such buyers and owners are so desig- mated. because they often times know as much and even more about a cer- tain car than the dealer himself
 To deliver a car to this kind of a buyer not only boosts the dealers sales but boosts his pride in the car and in himself.
 In a very small town of northern Wisconsin, a Chalmers dealer sold two cars, the week following the announce ment of the famous Chalmers hot-spot. Among other things he assured the purchasers that on the coldest nights the great current engine would not only start immediately but tha it could be left in the open until day break-and would then, by means of the hot-spot start instantly and pick up speed without losing a moment.
 Among the many visitors that came to see the first car on arrival was a high potentate of the Mystic Motor Wise fraternity. He doubted the hot spot, he criticized the ramshorn, he said the Chalmers was far from being the remedy for low grade gasoline.
 T will buy a Chalmers" he said but first you have to prove to me | everything you claim. You've got to prove that can do away with steam | heated garage, show me that it really picks up speed on cold mornings with out sputtering around like the rest o1 'em; and before buy Chalmers, you | got to leave it out uncovered all night i like you claim, and where I can see it In the morning I'll climb behind the wheel and if she does business I'll buy alright"
 A long distance telephone message tC l the factory was the next step. But ow. | ing to freight congestion the dealer got no assurance when his next cars, ther en route, would arrive.
 Mir. Motor Wise would not go to tho l factory for the test, so the dealer boarded the first train for Detroit Or arrival he took a new car and started the 600-mile return trip with custom. ary roads and weather for Wisconsin and Michigan in November
 The test was staged the night he ar. rived home and the following morning the car was sold. There was no off cial observer to certify the uniqu, | event but buyer and dealer kept the al night vigil sitting around an oil stow in the show room window.
 The car was at the curbing coate, with snow At seven the followinj morning the two men drove away an, at 10 o'clock came smiling from tn savings bank.

ID TEACH WOMEN
 MECHANICAL IDEA
 OF AUTO |NS|DES

Parallel with the conservation of food, the new corn kitchens, Hoover breakfasts, war relief card parties and masculine knitters, a school to teach women the mechanical side of the motor car in many of the larger cities Is the announcement of the Mitchell Motors company, Inc, of Ra- cine, Wis.
 A representative from the big fac tory lectures in the local showroom three afternoons and one evening each week, on the educational cam paign to enable women to efficiently drive and care for their own motors.
 The campaign has a two-fold pur- pose. War conditions have made it necessary for many women to operate their own cars, and numbers of Red Cross motor ambulance units have been formed by Red Cross workers. Education in automobiling along prac- tical lines will help these patriots and those who want a knowledge of the chassis and motor knowledge will get much help. The lectures, which of course are free, will not only be prac- tical but will be given also from a popular and easy to understand view point.
 Miss Natalie Camp of New York was recently commissioned head of a Red Cross ambulance unit and will drive an ambulance in Russia. This is only one of hundreds of similar cases where women are taking up the duties of men to help win the war. Many have disguised themselves in mems clothing and tried to enlist.
 The Mitchell lecture plan, and dem onstration with an open chassis, has already been tried out in Columbus, Ohio, where the showroom was crowded at every session.

ANNOUNCE ANOTHER
 OVERLAND FEATURE

In McHenry, North Dakota, an Over land Light Four model recently fur nished an impressive demonstration of another unusual utility advantage of that type of car. A barn, belonging to the owner of the car in question, had been blown 30 feet from it's foundation. The building was approximately 2sx35 feet How to move it back to it's original location was no problem for the owner, however. He simply made use of a set of rollers and his Over land and the light car hauled the structure back to it's former position without difficulty
