He needed to ask no questions to tell whether the trip into the valley had been pleasant or fraught with nishaps.

CHANDLER CAR FINDS READY ACCEPTANCE, SAYS MR. CRAWFORD
Today It Occupies One of Foremost Position in Entire Automobile
 Industry

There is a remarkable difference in the manner in which the public re- ceives motor cars Some factories that have been marketing their produces for 15 or 16 years or more have had a hard and doubtful battle to establish themselves as quality builders. There may be nothing at all that can be at tributed as the particular fault of the car, but it has simply not made a hit and according to Paul Crawford, Chandler dealer. that is what is neces- sary nowadays, unless the car is ex- eeptionally high priced and intended only for an ultra exclusive clientele.
 "The tremendous growth of the Chandler Motor Car company may be cited as an example of a car that finds imm ediate acceptance by the pub lie, adds to it's prestige year by year
 never suffers an off year. and quick ly establishes itself as a front rank quality car," says MT. Crawford. -Four years ago this season the Chandler was just announced. Three years ago it was an infant in the industry. Two years ago it was very much take d about car and the demand could not be supplied. Last year the Chandler established itself very firmly and to- day it occupies one of the foremost positions in the entire industry
 "The claim that Chandler leadership is wholly due to legitimate reasons can be justified. not in a boastful way, but as a simple statement of fact which thousands of discriminating mo- torists have determined. The Chandler was the first high-grade six-cylinder car manufactured to sell for less than $2000. It was brought out at time when men in the trade and out of the trade considered 1t folly to think of high grade six being possible for such price. But the Chandler proved

that this was possible, and it's users the world over have been convinced that it is properly designed, gives all the power and flexibility of power that any motor can give that it has all the desired life and snap and go and in addition offers genuine economy in operation.
 s'The motor is the dominant fea- ture of the Chandler car of course. Owners have named it the marvellous motor. but the Chandler Is not simply a motor with car built around it. The complete harmony of every detail of construction, the perfect unity of the whole car impresses even a casual ob- server The motor Is mounted on a splendid chassis and on this chassis the purchaser may have the choice of an equally fine body in number of various fine types"

CHALMERS PREPARE
 FOR BUMPER YEAR
Company Will Continue the Famous Six-3O Model
 for Next Season

with one of the largest manufacturing plants in the country and manufactur- ing schedule of 30,O0O cars for 1917, it is hard to realize that the Chalmers fac tory just nine years ago consisted of one building in 30 acres of Michigan prairie" says Chester Alexander of D. w. Young Motor company, local distributors for the Chalmers Motor company.
 "For the past eight years there has scarcely been month when some new addition to the Chalmers plant has not been in the course of construction" con- tinued MT. Alexander. During the first fiscal year 5000 of the famous old four cylinder Chalmers S0's were turned out. Today those same 1909 cars are still piling up the mileage. Many of them have over O0OOO miles to their credit. Old Re- liable the first Chalmers 30 built, has passed the 300,000 milestone and is still going.
 .sAt the present time the 30 acres of land on which the factory was located are covered with 20 giant factory build ings, manned bq 65OO workers. Many de- partments are working on full 24-hour schedule Within the past year huge main building has brought the total area of floor space up to S25.000 square feet Recent purchases of additional property and proposed new buildings will again increase the magnitude of the plant in 1917.
 The officials of the company conf dently look forward to the greatest year in its history and are preparing for it on q larger scale than ever before.''

GASEOUS GLEANZNGS FROM
 ?, WINNIE FIREMAN THE GARAGE GANG

The past week has been a busy one with the local automobile men, and they all agree that seven days are far too few in which to accomplish the things they had to do. Following the automo- bile show, there were worlds and worlds of prospects to see, and to whom to demonstrate.
 The automobile men say that they are now realizing more than ever the
 value of an automobile show.
 'T knew 1t would be a good thing to
 one of them, but I didn't have any idea how far-reaching the results would be. Why, we have enough prospects, real prospects. to keep us busy for weeks,
 and every prospect is more than apt to prove purchaser"
 And then too, the weather during the past week has been especially conducive to automobile sales. It's just the kind of weather that makes a person feel that he wants to get in a car and go till the gasoline gives out, and then come back and get some more gasoline and keep going.
 I And the automobile men are reaping the benefits thereof. They all report a i good business.

the day at the National. All the scraps

the rule. The Cambria \. G. show ran
off like smooth machine. and this club
contributed the only knockout of the day.
There we're los rounds scheduled, and
it remained for Young Tierney to cut off
four of the scheduled rounds. He stopped
johnny Allen in the second round and 1t
was rema rkabe with so many bouts being
held that only one contest-thiS pre-
lminary--was stopped before the final
bell. All three clubs put on six bouts, and
the fans were well repaid for turning out
in such large numbers
with the holiday attractions written in
the books we now can focus our attention
on the coming match at Olympia on pecem-
her 12 between Benny Leonard. lightweight
champion. and Irish Patsy Cline. Tais is
beyond question the biggest thing in the
fight world today. Two of the clcverest
boys that ever drew on a mitten will clash
and each is the fans ideal Of n boxer. In
addition. there will be the meeting between
