An Engine That Digests
Low-Grade Gas and Makes
High Power Out of It

The thing. about the great Chalmers engine that
counts the fact that actually dgcsts the gas fed to
1t(and low-grade gas especially.
Everyone knows that the grade Of gasoline
on the decline, and that probably hgh-grade gas or
even the gas of year ago, will never come back
And like man who has been high grade diet and
is suddenly given low-grade diet many engines
IN automobiles now have gasoline Indigestion.
The Chalmers eng inc digests gas probably as no
engine ever before has done. 1t makes high power
out OF ow-grade gas
IT makes gasoline work harder than gasoline ever
worked before.
Anyone who knows anything about an engine
knows that the everlasting riddle has been to get the
combustion chamber before ignition
he great Chalmers engine has accomplished this,
50 far any engine probably ever will be able to do,
by means Of two clever devices.
One is hot spot feature which heats and ''breaks
up the gas after tleaves the carburetor and before
gets to the intake manifold The other the ram
horn manifold that, by means of its easy air
bends, sends the gas to the combustion chamber
wel-nlgh perfect
Hence more power out Of less gas.
On cold day remarkably quick results in starting
obtained.
No longera 10-mnute fight with your engine. And
the Chalmers engine starts it runs smoothly
and delivers power quickly.
Often take ten minutes of running to warm
them up
But with the Chalmers.
And If you weren't shrewd Judge Of automo-
bile, you might overlook of the other notable
features OF the current Chalmers, great has become
the achievements OF It's engine.
Go down to salesroom and let show you the
great Chalmers engine and the perfection Of the
Chalmers.
