It is on this score of Chalmers tri- umph that the dealers are turning in their praise, of something already ac- complished. For. it is directly due to the Ramsllorn Manifold and the Chal- mers Hot-spot, history makers in the world of automobiles, that low grade gasoline is. now being converted into high grade power by thousands of Chalmers owners.
 Reports without number are telling

DETROIT, Dec. S.-Distributors from big cities scattered through forty states, of widely varying local condi- t1ons, have by letter, telegram and in majority of cases on personal visits to the humming factory, declared the now current Chalmers the greatest en- zine and best automobile ever tuyned out by the Chalmers Motor company.
 Such praise is not founded on mere selling hopes and expectations but the story of the individual owner trans

of the hot-spot success in the coldest kind of weather, rainy nights and frosty mornings. At one place in the middle west prominent doctor, with roadster only 4S hours old left his new car in the open driveway, where during the night it was covered with ice and snow. And yet when reused by a four o'clock sick call the famous hot spot engine shot him off into the night without a. moments wait.

CLOSED JAR MAY
 BE USED WINTER
 AND SUMMERTIME

of the closed car with the utility which it affords when it is necessary to move from one place to another in costume and still be able to remove the winter top for summer driving, are the main reasons why popular film stars are be- coming KisselKar owners" says Jo- seph McAleer, of the Kissel Auto com pany of Phoenix.
 "The latest recruit from filmdom is woodman's axe if it does it's work one- half as well.
 'The automobile gives wings to it's owner. It adds hours to his day if he must travel as does the doctor, and it adds dollars to his income every time it saves and creates time for other work, or recreation.
 You might as well call the doctor when he comes to attend you and to restore you to health, happiness and work, a pleasure doctor as to call the car that takes you and yours to fresh air, sunshine and health, a pleasure car.
 'The instrument that rings and bridges time and distance for your business, pleasure or for some emer gency is not a pleasure telephone. Neither is the car that takes you to the other end of the telephone line (actually bridging the distance and the time for your body as well as your voice) a pleasure vehicle instrument"
 Until the end of the war suppose we consider our passenger cars as con- stituting great civilian transport ser vice to help us do our full share of the task
 If each uses that car judiciously it will help him to gain and to create time and extra strength to turn into work and service for America and the world.
 "There are four million cars in America today Suppose now each car saved it's owner but one hour a day to devote to the flag Four mil lion hours that would be, each day the colossal equivalent of eight hours a day for an army of 500,000 workers working every day. Is it too staggering to be true? It took us, the nation several months to assemble an army of half a million. We motorists could do it in day.
 "So you see our little civilian trans port service could give us that force il we willed it. Of course we can lag along the road that should lead to vic tory in the shortest possible time. Ii We do future generations will call us pleasure lovers and flyers. They will see more clearly than we that every minute we waste costs blood, just as every minute lost by the ammunition transport lover there' costs blood ano lives. Shall the future generation say | the four million of us pleasure drove | while the world bled white.
