It must be hard for the mnn inter-1 ested in motor cars to know just which cur to buy. So many claims, confusing because they arc so much aline, are made by the various companies that it must bo difficult to sift them and locate tho cor most worthy of investment. One company advertises that it has 20,000 owners, "all satisfied." Another company advertises. that it has 25,000 owners, also "nil satisfied." One company advertises that it has 27 acres of factory floor space. Another . soys that it lias 31 acres therefore you should buy its car rather than the pro duct of the other concern. One company employes 5,000 men; and another company employes 5001 men. These ore cited as reasons for buying one car rather than the other. Every car according to the advertise ment8, has the most up-to-date de- sign; tne nnest materials money can buy." And in the building of every one of them there was employed nothing but the "highost grade of workmanship Analyze Puzzling Claims. The man who reads these claims must bo puzzled to know what to do. The advertisements would lead him to think that all cars are equolly worth his money, that he might as well simply close his eyes and choose one. . And yet this does not seem quite reasonable. In any group of half a doz en makes, selling at about the some prico, there must be one, or possibly two, which ore better than others. Moreover, there must be cars which have greater .value in proportion - to the 'prices asked than other cars have in proportion to the different prices asked for them. Different groups of men engaged in similar tasks will inevitably produce dif ferent results. One group will produce better results than the others. Railroads and the trains that run on them arc made of the same materials. They all charge the same rates of fare. Yet nothing is so plain as that some rail roads are vastly better than others. The difference comes in the way tho mater ials nro handled. It tukes more than a set of specifica tions, blue prints, a mass of steel, wood rubber, nnd buildings filled with machin ery, to make a first class automobile, just the same as it takes more than a right-of-way engines and cars to make a first class railroad. Advertising Claims Don't Make Good Cars. Further, it takes more than adver tising claims to make a first-class auto mobile. Anyone con write an adver tisement No doubt a great many people can write better advertisements than this one. As to whether anyone else can or does build at the price as good a motor cor as this advisement aims to tell ubout, is another question one which you, as a buyer, must settle for yourself. Advertising never added one iota to the value of nn automobile. All that ad vertising can do is to tell of the good points of on automobile, if it has them or to He about them if it has them not. Good automobiles are tho result of right specifications; right materials; right parts put together in the right Way, and tested in the right way; the whole finished in the right way. and all of it backed up by a good organization that is in the bus iness to stay and give service. Wo once heard of a man who wrote n book. He submitted the book to a critic with tho remark that it ought to muke him famous because he had used the same number of words Shakespeare used in his plays namely 12,000. However, the critic decided tho author hadn't put the words together quite tho same way Shakespeare did, so the book was never heard of again. Taking a group of automobile builders how will you find out which has got the best results out of the materials and the capital at his disposal? How will you decide which can to buy? -Minnrnr vnn Irw -M- n.lLJ A.I. yourself what it is you can get ia one car . ..I .1 I . . which you can t get in another to be specific, what is there that you con get in a Chalmers "30" which you cannot get in any other car of the $1500-$2000 class? J There are so many things. Here are a few which you should consider: What You Can Get in the Chalmers First of all, you con get in a Chal mers "30", more than in any other car, simplicity of design which has been proved. A few other enrs. with fwitiirnq patterned after the Chalmers, claiming equal simplicity, nave not been put to the tests of use by thousands of owners. The Chalmers "30" wns th fimt American car to have all such ad vanced features as en bloc cylinder cast ini. two-bearim! crank shnft. unit enn Struction of clutch and transmission single pedal control, double drop frame. Something More than Theory Needed But, as we said above, making a good automobile is more than just me chanical design. A car could have all the up-to-date features found in the Chalmers and still be a failure. The vital organs of all men are much the same, yet some men are in all respects superior to others. You do not take a chance "when you buy a Chalmers. Something else you get in a Chal mers and no other car is the appearance the Iooks peculiar to this car. Many "designers" hearing thepraiso of the public, have copied the lines of tne Chalmers cars. But a copy never equals tho original, and so the Chalmers has remained in a class alone for good iooks ana style ana distinction. Appearance is one of the most im portont standards forjudging car. In every person there dwells a liking for ,beautiful things. You see your car dozens of times a day. If it has grace ful lines and fine finish, it will please you all tne more from month to month and year to year. Horses and Motor Cars Most automobile buyers have owned horses, and they understand what we mean when we say that there is the same difference m appearance between th6 Chalmers and many other cars as there is between the thoroughbred horses and one of common stock. You can tell the difference in the horses a long way oil as tney come down the street. And you can tell it in automobiles the some way, In the Chalmers you get a degree of comfort and safety which you cannot get in any other car at anywhere near the same price. The Chalmers 30" has n long wheel base 115 inches. It has a heavy frame, 34-inch wheels, and long, three-quarter elliptic rear springs. The seats are tilted and perfectly upholstered. There is no cor at any price which gives more comfort under all condition- than the Chalmers "30". You can prove this for yourself. No one has ever ridden in this car without praising its excellent riding qualities. Tho Factors of Safety in a car are Wheels, Frame, Steering Connections and Brakes. We make the statement, and stand ready to have you investigate it, that in no car at the price can you get the same size and quality in these all important Factors of Safety. You cannot get any other car with such a performance record as the Chal mers "30" boosts. Many companies advertise vaguely that their cars have won "scores of mo toring contests." What were they? Little local events, mostly of self-appointed endurance runs. An Unequaled Record. What has the Chalmers "30" done? For two seasons it was entered in every road race of national prominence for light cars, and it won in every one of mem. This is tho rnr which Indiana Trophy Race, starting last and nnismng nrst m a held of nineteen-the best field of litfht enrs P.vnr In nn Amnr. icon road race. ThiS iS tllft Pflr flint lnn flrof onrl -..- nuu UUU 8eCOnd in the Jprlrhn !umnnctnn Tf- .--.. v w I VVUVUAt.Oi II, was the Chplmers "30" which won the iNational Light Stock Chassis Race at Lowell, nnd thn fnmniiQ Nnnfn Mnninn ZL vww WUUVU -.-A Will I'll Race in California. And it was a Chalmers "30" which won the Massnnemm Tronv i n ihn Vnn. g 1 "t'J WAV T UH" derbilt and set a world's speed record for cars oi inis class a record which still "tonds, in spite of many efforts to better it. . , lUV116 car which was ven the title of Champion cor" because it won a higher percentage of events entered than any other. This is a car which proved itself as good in touring contests as in road races by winning the Glidden Trophy in the longest and hardest touring contest ever held. It was the first car costing less than $4000 to win this honor. This is the car which has never been defeated in a motoring contest by a car of its own price and power class. When anyone talks about contests, ask them to show you a record like the Chalmers "30". When you buy a Chal mers you buy a duplicate of the car which, won the Glidden tour. You can not get this record of performance with any ..cqr. which competes with the Chal mers in price. There's Everything in a Name Another thing you get in a Chalmers which you can get in no other cor, is the medallion on the radiator the trade mark the Chalmers name. The trade mark is your insurance that the cars which bears it was designed by Chal mers' engineers; constructed of material which has come up to the Chalmers in spection standard; built by the Chalmers organization in the Chalmers factory tested by the Chalmers inspection de partment; and backed by the guarantee of Chalmers service. The Chalmers Company was the first company to build a real automobile to sell at a $1,500 price. That was three years ago. That car immediately took the lead among cars of this class, and it has steadily maintained that lead ever since. The Chalmers Company is capitnfized for $3,000,000. It has a factory whichls not surpassed by any in the industry. The Chalmers Company builds all im portant parts. It builds enough cars so that it gets the full advantage of quantity nroduction. vet It flruQ nn. . r f production records.
