Chalmers Has High
Pencentage of ResaIes

There is probably no test of real
value of an automobile to-day so strong
as that of repurchase. From the mo-
ment that man or woman buys a car
and his or her name becomes public
property through the publication of
state registration lists automobile
statesmen set out to win them over to
the cars which they are selling. Ere
quently these competitive salesmen
wait few months, some times a year,
IN order to give the car owner an op-
portunity TO find out any weak points
IN the car they have selected Then
these statesmen go systematically about
disturbing the owner and working him
or her up to a point of dissatisfaction.
So, after an owner has tried a car
for few months or a year the real
merits OF the car, or its defects, If it
has any, from the standpoint of his or
her particular requirements, must of
necessity have strong bearing when
the time comes round to trade in for
new one.
And it is right here" SAYS Harry
j. De Bear, president and general man
ager OF the Maxwell Chalmers Distrib-
uting Corporation, "that we stand
firm. We have high percentage of
resales on Chalmers cars. The Chal-
mers line has been sold on BrocIyay
for more than twelve years, and we
have many owners who have literally
grown up with the company"

Cadillac Exhibit
Has Four New
Closed Models

The Cadillac Suburban Limousine
custom-built model recently come
on the New York market, is one of
the outstanding cars in the Cadillac
exhibit to be seen at the closed car
show. 1t is offered by the Cadillac
Company with either seven or six
passenger seating capacity and with
or without a partition at the rear of
the front compartment.
When furnished without partition
the front compartment is fully uphol-
stored and is supplied with either
divided front seats or straight front
seat. If the body is of six-passen-
ger seating capacity the lines are
absolutely straight, the body being
entirely within the rear wheel hous-
lng,, allowing the rear side windows
to drop flush with the stills.
The sevcn-passenger body is ordi-
narily mounted on the Cadillac
standard 132-inch chassis, but the
same style can be duplicated on a
chassis of 145-inch wheelbase. This
design of body is the most popular of
the lnciosed vehicles being offered
by the Cadillac Company, in that it
provides for the needs of the owner
who employs a chauffeur but also
".ohea W uflVe MS own car OCCASION
ally. Being custom model, the pur-
chaser's individuality can be expressed
in his selection of color and uphol-
stery, az we'll as in the minor details.
In addition to the foregoing de-
scrlbed model. the local Cadillac dealer
will show three other standard models
-an Imperial Limousine, a five-pas-
senger close-coupled Sedan and four
passenger coupe. The latter two are
the most recent additions to the
Cadillac line.

Standard Bumper
Attach mn e mt lis
Engineers Aim
Special Committee Of S. A. Z.
Named to Design Mounting
Which Will Assure More
Protection for Motor Car

There are few accessories on the
market that cause automobile users
more expense and trouble than bump
ers, owing to the difficulty of properly
mounting or attaching them. In the
usual method Of mounting the bumper
it is clamped to the top Of the frame
horn by special casting which comes
with the bumper. 1t IL a common ea-
perience. however, for the clamps to
become 80 loose that in case of Soi-
lision the bumper would slip out of
place and be of little protection.
Other types of mounting require the
drilling of holes in the frame horn
but many instances have occurred
where the drilling of the holes has
weakened the frame to such an extent
that collision would cause disastrous
results, owing to the breaking of the
frame horns. Certain mountings have
been patented and used as regular
equipment by automobile companies.
These are excellent, but cannot be used
universally owing to the patents.
The public demand for the use of
windshields and tops as standard
equipment finally induced the auto
mobile manufacturers to provide them
The extensive application of bumpers
by automobile owners as accessories
and the fact that these afford protec-
ton in cities where the traffic is con-
gcsted have Influenced several manu-
tacturers to equip cars with bumpers
as standard equipment. Manufacturers
who do not do this have recognized
the adv1sability of designing their cars
so that bumpers can be attached
quickly and easily at no great expense
to the automobile owner. Another rea-
son for facilitating bumper attachment
is the granting of reduction in col
llslon insurance premiums for cars
equipped with bumpers.
The advantages of boiling the bumper
directly on to the frame horn, using
holes drilled to some standard By the
automobile manufacturer, are that this
avoids the use Of an ugly looking fitting
which some of the mountings now on
the market require, provides more
rlgidity than any other type of mount
ing, with greatest ease of installation,
involves less likelihood of looseninr If
the bumper receives a severe blow and
reduces the coet of installation very
consider erably.
This matter is being very thoroughly
discussed By the automotive engineers
and designers who are members of the
Society Of Automotive Engineers, of this
city. The society includes in it's membe
ship $500 of the engineers and design
crs of the automobile companies, and
considers technical questions relating
to the design and construction of auto
mobiles which do not come within the
jurisdiction of the automobile manu-
facturers' commercial organization, the

Coupe at the Show

A strictly new 1922 Peerless model
is TO be seen this week at the Closed
Car Show. This new car is a four
door five-p passenger coupe, which is
said 20 be a favorite among Peerless

eigners have employed ingenuity and
skill to turn out four-door job in all
the elegance and completeness of the
regular coupe and at the same time
provide extra seating accommodations
These additional seats are provided by
including a straight front seat with
room for driver and one other person.
Like the other closed cars in the Peer
less line. this model is SO built as to
save weight and cut down upkeep to an

with upholstery and interior in har-
monizing shades.

White Produces Business Car

To meet the need OF salesmen and
men whose duties make it necessary
for them to travel over scattered and
sparsely settled territory. the White
Company has placed on the market q
new type Of car known As the White
business car. At first glance the new
model gives the impression that tho
company has returned to the passenger
car fsld, but such is not the case.
While the business car has the ap-
pearance of a passenger model, it is of
truck construction. combining the
rugged, durable qualities OF truck
with the comfort and trim appearance
OF touring car. 4

Mr.. Van Britt got up and edged his
