1t is very nearly year since the Southern Pacific
Company assured the Commercial Club that new depot
would be built in Salem without delay. Evidently the
company made the annual promise matter of custom
and then proceeded to forget it, relying on the Com
mercia Club to keep quiet and not stir up anything for
another year Southern Pacific promise is of
value only when the company can be forced to make
good--and the Salem Commercial Club lacks the nerve
to compel it to act, although it could do So

HAIG HASN'T STOPPED YET
NOW AFTER ST. QUENTIN


switching point Of his drive from

last night smashed his men forward

With the British Armies Afield.-
Lens was menaced today by British
big push.
German resistance was growing
more and more desperate with each
hour that Field marshal Haig showed
his men forward. But resistance
was ineffective for powerful British
blows.
Today Vimy ridge was still shelled
from afar off by German guns, as
well as other positions held by the
British. But everywhere the leu

plain below Vimy ridge, from which
Lens was directly menaced, was be-

Arizona republican., 1917-11-14

There are perhaps several reasons, all of which would appear very clearly if you had the opportunity or took the time to analyze the his tory and business policies of the au- tomobile industry. But there is one big basic reason which to you as a motorist is the essential reason, and that one reason is this-that ever since the first Chandler car was de- signed and built and marketed four years ago last month, the Chandler has offered the finest of design, con- struction and equipment at the lowest possible price.
 The Chandler today offers this ex- cess of value, this dependability of service, just as distinctly as at any time in the four years past.
 It took some little time, of course, for great part of the motoring world to pin it's confidence to this new conner. Men recognized, indeed the whole trade recognized, that a new type of car which must make large appeal had come into the market. The trade knew that it was the pro- duct of men who knew motor build ing and general motor car design and who were experienced in the best manufacturing practices.
 Still and remember this was more than four years ago-the trade said newcomer could not win out.
 Nevertheless, there were few hundred Chandler cars manufactured and sold in those months of the sum- mer and fall of Nineteen Thirteen.
 And how distinctly the Chandler has won it's place in the very front
Arizona republican., 1917-11-14

rank of fine motor cars is reflected in the Chandler sales records of Nine teen-F Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen and Seventeen.
 Month by month and season after season throughout these four years the Chandler has moved forward and forward, until today it's leadership could hardly be questioned.
 Your own observation of high grade cars in service in almost any market in America would show you clearly how surely the Chandler has come into leadership.
 This leadership has been built on the Right Car at the Right Price.
 Back in 1914 men were very gen. orally inclined to recognize that the Chandler was the right car at the right price and about two thousand of them had the courage to make sure of their convictions.
 Those two thousand won thous- ands more to their convictions, so that in the year following nearly seven thousand men chose the Chandler for their car.
 And the car went on making friends by its performance in the hands of these owners.
 The whole country marveled at this wonderful motor, at its power, it's flexibility, its life and getaway, and it's endurance. The whole Chandler chassis came to be recog- nized as a great mechanism.
 So last year, 1916, it was hardly surprising to those who really kasw the Chandler that more than thirteen
