Price Always Kept Low
and the Reasons Why

THE Chandler price has always
1 been kept low without sacrifice
of quality. This has been made pos
sible by the most efficient manage
ment, the most modern factory and
the highest financial credit with
sources of supply, together with the
fact that we have always built one
chassis, developed and refined as the
years have passed, but never aban-
doned, because constantly more
popular.
Chandler resale value is relatively
higher than that of any car, after a
like period of service.
