20,000 Miles
What car will carry you that distance in
greater comfort and safety, and with less
trouble and expense than a Chalmers ?
It's a pretty poor car in
dexed that won't make a
good showing in a sales
man's demonstration.
But it takes a pretty good
car to travel 20,000 miles
and please you as well at
the end as it did in the"
beginning.
Chalmers cars stand this
test. Hundreds are driven
this far every year. Some
have been driven as high as
140,000 miles, and are still
in daily service.
cYou can pay almost any
price for a motor car, but
even the highest priced
won't carry you 20,000
miles in more comfort with
greater economy, or with
less mechanical attention
than the Chalmers.
- -No lower priced car will
give you equal comfort,
economy and reliability.
Long stroke motor, four
forward speed transmission,
nickel steel axles, extra
large brakes t h e s e and
many other features of de
sign secure the mechanical
excellence of the Chalmers.
Large valves, new style
Chalmers piston rings, im
proved carburetor, Timken
bearings throughout the
running gear these are
some of the Chalmers fea
tures which make for
economy.
Turkish cushions, 11-inch
upholstery, long wheel base,
large wheels and tires, long
flexible springs these are.
the things which make your
Chalmers comfortable.
None more so.
Try the Chalmers for 20,
000 miles. By that time
you will be agreed with us
that no car at any price
offers as much real automo
bile value for the money.
Let us give you your first
Chalmers ride at your convenience.
