1t is such tactics that discredit the
entire automobile business.
The ones most injured by the present
confusion in the public mind are those
who did not take advantage Of War
time condition to Profteer.
Chalmers was ore of those. We are
not "opportunists. 4"
Much as we sympathized with the
plight Of Chalmers dealers when our
plants had to discontinue making
motor cars and go, 100 per cent, to
making war materials, we did not
adopt any questionable expedient to
protect Chalmers dealers at the eX
pense Of Chalmers buyers.
So there has never been a fictitious
a War time price en- Chalmers Motor
Cars.
Therefore VIC have no margin now to
cut"
Chalmers has been the greattst value
in its class during the past year.
During several years past, in fact, but
especially in the last twelve months.
That was one reason for the trenen-
dous popularity Of Tie Chalmers car.
The other reason was its all-round ex-
cellence-its snatchless Guality-its
great relative value.
At times we felt we would be COM
PEELED to increase prices, but we
firmly resolved to give the buyer the
benefit so long as we were working up
materials purchased in normal times.
Labor was higher but overhead was
actually lower, because we charged its
legitimate proportion on war work.
We tried to be fair TO ell concerned
to U-clc Sam, which means the whole
people; and to Chalmers buyers,
who are the Fest People!
Had the war continued year longer
1Well, VIC still would not have raised
psiles for the simple reason that VIC
would have made no motor cars.
The whole question resolves itself
into this:-Was manufactured
justified in raising his price to buyers
solely on grounds Of shortage of
cars?
Not on any actual extra cost of build
ing-but greater demand than sup
ply.
We contend such practice was not
justifed-was not quite fair.
Chalmers did not do this.
Stop to think of it and you will recall
that in 1915 a 5.passengcr Chalmers
cost $3.50
That in 1917 the then model sold for
$3.50.
That that same model, since greatly
UNNECESSARILY -improved, still lists

There you have it in few words
the latest, most highly perfected
Chalmers at SIS more than the earlier
and therefore less refined model
Chalmers prices have been and still are
rock bottom-and so will continue.
We cannot do otherwise
Nor can we see any sound reason for
expecting any material change in con-
ditions for long time to come.
Materials certainly will not cost any
less while the whole world bids for our
supply.
Wages will never return to the pre-
war scale.
The United States Steel Corporation
has said so-and that is the worlds
largest employer of labor
no, the competition of the Cheap
labor of Europe" will not materially
change matters.
European labor is insisting on a higher
scale Of living the American scale.
And on that scale it costs just as much
to live in Europe as in America. Just
as much.
So wages there are being standardized
upward, too.
All of which facts are sound, you will
admit.
But you want something tangible
to tie to.
You need car-you prefer Chal-
ners. But, you do not want to pay
a dollar more for it now than It may
be bought for few weeks hence.
All right, here's definite, unequivo-
cal statement from the Chalmers
Motor Car Company.
Price of the Chalmers (Touring Car
and Roadster) is $l565 f. 0. b. factory,
Detroit, Michigan.
We absolutely guarantee that
price WW obtain until June, 1919.
Every Chalmers dealer is authorized
to give you that guarantee in writing
at the time you order your Chalmers.
Better do so at once, too-for it is
impossible to obtain materials in
time to increase production sufficiently
to meet the demand--or anywhere
near it,
And soon the big spring demand
will be upon us.
Don't hesitate because some maker
whose Wartime price was fictitious
has reduced" it fraction.
Such makers will have to reduce a
couple gilmore times before their prod
uct will sell in competition with Chal-
mers at its present normal price!
Get in line for your favorite car
Chalmers-for there certainly will
not be enough to go around.

FIRST RECORDED AIR FIGHT
Frenehmen, Rivals In Love, Had
Strange and Fatal Duel More Than
One Hundred Years Ago.

The first battle In the nlr and the
strangcst duel In the long history OF
the field Of honor was fought 40
years ago near Paris. Two Frenchmen
were ardent rivals for the affections
OF woman. and 30 bitter did their
quarrel become that only blood could
wipe II out. Ordinary methods were
too tame for these fiery spirits. so It
was agreed that the duel should be
fought from balloons. The cause of
the trouble agreed to marry the VIC
tor.
When the selected day arrived the
two fighters and their seconds repaired
to the meeting place, only to find
great crowd assembled, for word Of
the strange encounter had spread
broadcast. The principals, however.
were undeterred. Two balloons, pre-
cisely alike, had been prepared, and
into these they stepped. To each was
handed carefully loaded blunderbuss.
The word was given and the moor
ings cast on. Slowly the balloons as
cended almost side by side. At the
height Of about half a mile, when the
great bags were but so yards apart,
the signal was given and both men
opened fire. Soon one Of the balloons
collapsed and crushed to the earth.
The record says the woman kept her
promise and married the victor Of the
aerial battle.

"In history, literature and art he
