How to be Sure of a Good
Motor Car Bargain.
Getting n good bargain when you
buy an automobile is not just a question
of price. It is a question of features of
what is in the car the design, materials
and workmanship.
If it is possible to get more for your
money in one car than in another, you
want to know it. Ability to pick out a
car that will give you the unost money,
depends upon knowing the important
points on which to judge aud then com
paring cars on the basis of these points.
It is a question, of having the right stand-
ards.
A diamond expert will select the one
most perfect stone from a handful of dia
monds. The horseman, looking over a string
of thoroughbreds, will pick out the one or
two best horses of the lot.
They are able to do this because
they know the standards by which to
judge a diamond and a horse.
The same is true of motor cars. We
ask you to compare Chalmers cars care
fully with others. We give here a few
standards which may help you to get an
unusual dollar's worth of value for every
dollar you put into your motor car.
Simplicity of design i3 one good stan
dard. The Chalmers "30" has cylinders
cast en bloc. Motor, clutch and transmis
sion cast in a unit. Working parts
thoroughly protected from dust and yet
easily accessible. The Chalmers "30" was
the first American car to have all of
these features. There is no other car
with these features which is so thoroughly
tried and proved as the Chalmers. Many
cars that looked all right in design failed
in use! Whatever you do, buy a proved
car.
Good looks is another standard. The
Chalmers "30" has good looks. It has
beautiful lines and it has fine finish.
Those who are most competent to judge,
say there is no more beautiful car at any
price.
As for finish, you positively cannot
find a car to equal the Chalmers "30" ex
cept at nearly double the price. For at
tention to details, compare this car with
those costing twice and three times as
much. Only in that way can you ap
preciate how all of the "little things"
that seem. so big when neglected have
been provided in the Chalmers "30".
Ease of control aud comfort for both
driver and passengers is one of the best
MINOR HINMAN, Agent,
North Piatte. Neb.
CHALMERS "30" $1,600.
Including Bosch magneto, Prest-O-Llte tnnk, gas
three oil lamps, horn nnd tools. Detachable fore-doors
standards. The Chalmers "30" is easy to
control because it has one pedal for
brake and clutch; because the control
levers are just where you would natural
ly reach for them; because of a big steer
ing wheel and good steering connections.
It is no trick to learn to drive a Chalmers.
We guarantee to teach every buyer with
out additional expense how to drive and
care for his car.
This car has a 115 inch wheel base.
The body is swung well between the
axles. The seats are tilted and have good
springs in them. The upholstery is luxur
ious. The rear springs are long, three
quarter elliptic and of the ' finest steel
for the purpose. The majority of auto
mobile engineers have voted this type of
springs the best.
Without fear of contradiction, we say
there is no car in the world which is
more comfortable under all conditions
than the Chalmers "30". Yet the price
of this car is only $1600 including Bosch
Magneto, gas lamp, Prest-o-lite tank.
Weight is another standard.
The Chalmers "30" motor is lighter
per horse power than any other motor.
The complete car is from 200 to 600
pounds lighter than any competing car
of the same size and roominess. The
"30" has all the weight that comfort and
efficiency demand yet no useless weight
to consume gasoline and wear out tires.
The Factors of Safety are a standard
which you should have in mind at all
times. The four main factors of safety
in any motor car are Frame, Wheels.
Brakes, Steering Connections.
The Chalmers "30" has the heaviest,
strongest frame in proportion to total
weight of any car in its class- Relatively
this frame is as strong as in any car at
any price. These "30" frames are built
of special heat-treated steel. They are
strong enough to sustain many times the
weigh they are called upon to carry. They
are staunch and heavy enough to give a
feeling of solidarity, without which no
car is comfortable,
The wheels of the Chalmers "30" are
made under the same specifications and
of the same material as those on the high
est priced cars.
The Chalmers "30" has bigger,
stronger, quicker-acting brakes than any
other car in its class.
The design material and construc
tion of the steering connections nro no
better on any car no matter what the
price than on the Chalmers "30". It
would be possible to make the steering
lamps,
$15.00
apparatus of the "30" more costly by put
ting more expensive wood in the steering
wheel. But this would not make it better
in any particular. All steering connections
on the Chalmers "30" are protected, and
the cress steering rod is back of the
front axle, out of danger from Bhocks of
the road.
Have you ever noticed the difference
in the riding qualities of an ordinary tail
road coach and a Pullman chair car?
The day coach is light. It shakes and
rattles. It transmits every inequality of
the road bed or the rails straight to the
passengers, giving them a succession of
jars and vibrations, ,a
s The Pullman coach is compact and
solid. It goes smoothly at any speed. It
is comfortable. It gives a sense of se
curity. There is just the same difference be
tween riding in the cheaper cars and in
the Chalmers. Cars that have light
wheels and frames can not be comfort
able or safe.
You are buying a car to ride in. You
will often be in it hours ut a stretch. In
sist that it give the utmost comfort
You trust your own life and the
life of your family to it Insist,
therefore, that the factors of safety be of
the best design, finest materials and
workmanship.
We have made strong claims in
this advertisement the strongest that
could be make for a car. Because we
have stated that according to certain
important standnrds, the Chalmers "30"
is preferable to any other car selling at
anywhere near the same price. And in
some respects, the equal at least if not
the superior of any car made at any
price.
We have made these statements
advisedly. We know that they are right.
We could not make them unless we
had the car to back them up. The car
does back them up. It is the best auto
mobile value today. Study it for yourself.
Compare it for yourself with others.
If you don't agree with us after you
have studied the situation, why of course
wo cannot hope to sell you a car,
But at the same time, we believe
that if you do study this automobile
question carefully, with the right stan
dards in your mind, you will decide the
Chalmers "30" is the most you can buy
in an automobile for $1600. And that,
relatively, it is more than you can buy in
any other car, regardless of the price.
Come und see these cars as soon as
you can. Let us arrange a demonstration
at your convenience.
