Chalmers 1915 "Light Six"
You Can Have Your 1915 Chalmers Tomorrow
a Car Proved by 3,000,000 Miles Driving
Here is a proved 1915 car and you can have one
of them immediately.
Announced in May, over 3,000 Chalmers "Light
Sixes" have already been sold and are In use
throughout the country. These 3.000 cars have
been driven a total of over 3,000,009 miles and
they have universally made good.
A Car of Super-Quality
When this car was put on the market we offered it
as a "Quality" not a "Price" car. We recommend
ed it to the public not because it weighed a certain
number of pounds, not because of any abnormal
' design, not because it was the most economical car
to operate, not because its price was sensational.
But we said in offering it that we believed it to be
the greatest all round automobile for the money
since automobiles were first built. And 3,000
owners are now saying tbe same thing.
Proved Itlght by Um
This 1915 model has bad an aggregate mileage
great enough to prove beyond any question that it
has strength for any emergency, power to spare,
the easy-riding qualities of cars costing much
more; that its medium weight is scientifically dis
tributed and its upkeep cost unusually low. So
here you have a 1915 car which has already dem
onstrated its ability to "stand the road" a car
that you know will continue to run silently and
smoothly and will look like new after months of
hard usage.
The Time Wait lUpe
Men had tired of the costly upkeep of the too
heavy car. Men had wearied of the constant Jolt
ing and nerve strain of "fours." And they were
afraid of the fllmslness of the too-light "Sixes."
The time has come for a real "Light Six" car
for the Chalmers 1915 "Light Six" built light for
economy but heavy enough for safety and com
fort. With a motor, too, that is marvelously ef
ficient, powerful and flexible.
Built in Chalmers Shops
Built in the Chalmers shops, tbe 1915 "Light Six"
is indeed a quality car. It is a manufactured car
not assembled. In its design and manufacture
weight has been eliminated, but sturdy strength
has been retained.
This car is built painstakingly In every detail. It
has not been hurried out to meet a suddenly-realized
demand. Quality has not been allowed to suf
fer through haste or to meet a price.
Chalmers cars are built to be worthy of their mot
to. "Quality First." The slight difference in price
between the Chalmers "Light Six" and others of
lesser quality is small enough to pay, in view of
the longer and more economical service of the
Chalmers, the greater sturdineas and consequent
safety.
Knjoy Your 1913 Car Now
Delivery of the Chalmers "Light Six" will be made
as soon as you like. Take the Chalmers Standard
Road Test Ride the test that tells In deeds the
real superiority of this Master among "Light
Sixes."

DARLING IS FOR
CLUB BUILDING
NoIh Darling In (living Alliance tlreat
Advert IsIiik In II In Talks
Over Country
A large number of congressmen
would be willing to give ungrudging
support to an adjournment proposi
tion backed by the proper authori
ty. Paris society Is becoming so con
fused In Its standards, that it scarce
ly knows i's kid gloves from Its box
ing gloves.
There appears to be no truth la
the report that the government Is fee
ing to investigate tbe alleged trust at
the Chautauqua lecturers.
It seems that about all the senate
wants of Mr. Warburg Is for him to
salute the flag.
Secretary Fisher of the Commer
cial Club has received the following
letter from Nels Darling regarding
the Commercial Club building:
"I received a copy of the Alliance
paper that yo usent me and will say
that I like tbe plan of yours for a
Commercial Club building, that will
serve the whole community as you
outline.
"Since receiving the paper, I have
told a great many audiences about
the proposed plans for this building
in Alliance, and nearly every place
that I go, Alliance Is mentioned In
my talk to business men. and I no
tice that the newspapers and mag
azines throughout the country are
giving you some good advertising. It
goes to show the value of co-operation
among the citizens.
"The more I think about the build
ing idea, that you have suggested,
the more enthused I become. It
could be a veritable community cen
ter. It could be used for all sorts
of , community meetings. It would
become the place for the farmers to
meet the business men, or for out of
town friends by appointment. Thru
it, the ladles would become more
and more interested in civic im
provement work. The young people
of the community would come into
closer touch with community work,
while many, of tbe older people
woma gam new points wun regara
to the looking after the welfare of
the children of Alliance, and tbe
country tributary to it.
"There might be a rest room for
women, open each day in the year
except Sundays. Here the women
from out of town, from the country,
might find comfortable chairs.
Couches), etc. The farmers' wives
could have their purchases made
during the day, and have them sent
to them by the merchant to the la
dles' check room, where she could
find them later when ready to start
for the farm latre in the afternoon.
I don't believe It would be an easy
matter to greatly over estimate the
value of such a building In a com
munity like yours. I hope that the
people of Alliance will get back of
your plan and help make it a suc
cess. It surely will be a great bene
fit to them. Let me hear all about
it later on if something Is done.
With best wishes to you and all
the wide-awake town of Alliance. I
am.
Yours very truly,

Nels Darling, the noted lecturer
on business and civic affairs, spoke
at Hartington. Nebr.. recently. The
Hartlngton News had the following
I to say about it:
Darling said he liked Hartlngton
for its clean streets. There were no
wooden awnings, no horses bitched
on the main streets, no tobacco spit
Ion the sidewalks. He knew we had
a commercial club as soon as he hit
the town. The town could well use
a paid secretary for the commercial
club. Belle Fourche has one at
1150 per month and Aberdeen one
I at 13000 this year, and f 4,800 next
year. The livest town in the state
he had seen was Alliance. The
deadest, Ponca. A Ponca banker
sits on the lid. He is a knocker and
a dead one, and he won't speak to
the banker across the street. New
Hampton, Iowa, has a population of
2,500 and has 585 members in the
Commercial Club. Tbe majority of
the members are farmers. La Crosse,
Kansas, is another of tbe same kind.
They are building a 130,000 Com
mercial Club building. The farmers
Union is a good thing. There is
