It would be im . possible without the Chalmers volume. The Chal ' mers Company has never tried to secure big vol ume, however, at the expense of quality or ad- . , vanced features.. ' . Chalmers business is founded on the principle that people appreciate quality at medium price Instead of quality at high prices or niftte quantity at low prices. The 1913 Chalmers models offer, at medium prices, the features which characterize the highest priced cars, and many, features not found on other cars at any price. ( .
