How will Yew Decide Which Car to Buy?
Some Horse Sense About Automobiles.
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.

higher percentage of events entered

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
