There is a legend that there was
onco a band that had in its repertoire
but one tune, and whatever the oc
casion of their playing, they made
wis oiu iuno servo we purpose. It led
their street marches, nt dances ser
ved it up as a barn dance, waltz or rag
time twostep; nt funerals it was a
"dirge," and on Sundays it went as a
religious movement. If you wish to
hear tho ingenious use to which this
one tune was put by the primitive
band mentioned above, do not fnil to
attend tho Concert and Dance given by
tho North Platte Military Band Mon
day, February 19th. Don't miss this,
as this is a feature number. Follow

SIMPLY BECAUSE we have not been standing on the curb shouting- about
i V,s && indication that the Chalmers has not been living up to its national reputa
tion in the last few months of gruelling weather. For example an '09 "Chalmers
"30" has been carrying the mail from Gothenburg to Arnold without interruption.
IN THE MATTER OF TRUCKS the observer has doubtless noted that the
machine in use by Herrod & Son has been in operation daily since the 21st of
December in the hands of an inexperienced driver.
' All modqrn machines are more or less reliable but we contend that' for
economy of operation, reliability, endurance, ease of control and appearance we
have a line that cannot be equaled.
REFERRING TO LONGEVITY is there a car in the community that has
been run 1,500 miles (a conservative estimate) that shows as little wear, runs as
smooth causes as little trouble as the Model K "30" Chalmers that was put in
service here in November, '09.
THE CHALMERS is without doubt the most widely copied car in America.
It being the first car to use the unit power plant, the double drop frame, and single
pedal control. Why buy an imitation?
A CAREFUL INVESTIGATION of details will convince you that with its
no drop forgings, adjustable bearings, whereby all slack can be eliminated and in
five years hence your Chalmers can be made to run as smooth as the clay you
received it; in this car you have found the best "buy" for the money.
Consult a Chalmers owner if you are in doubt wf . . car to buy.
Note the fact that around the repair shop the Chalmers is conspicuous
by its "absence.
