This new four passenger sport model of the Chandler
make has brought us a great deal of favorable comment,
both for the beauty and symmetry of. the jpb, but , also
oh account of its'tmusual poveV'speed' and generaLrbad
qualities. I doubt if you have ever ridden in any car
which will hold the road like it does at sustained speed.
I would' like to have you try it, whether you have an idea
now of a purchase or change in the the near future.
I am. only able to get one of the Dispatch cars per
month, and to those who have tried out the car, and found
it satisfactory, I would suggest an early order so that you
can be in line for the next'one we can get.
To obtain the most pleasant drive. you have ever had
in a motor car, come in some day and drive one of our.
Chandlers out yourself. You will be under no obligation
and will not be bothered with any saleman except the car
itself, but Iwarn you that the car is" quite persuasive.
The only car you can buy today at the same price as
last year. We cannot assure you as to how long'the pres
ent price will prevail, but probably not long.
