Chalmers $1090 Detroit QUALITY That is the Real Secret of the 3400 r.p.m. Chalmers Popularity Whenever you see the Chalmers trade mark you always see the phrase "Quality First VVhenever you think Chalmers you think "Quality. And if you have been reading my ads or have been in my salesroom, you are impressed with the fact that the 3400 r. p. m. is a Chalmers car of unusual quality. I've often said that it is, in my opinion, the greatest car the Chalmers Company has built And I have an excellent reason for saying this. It is a step ahead of any preceding Chalmers because it performs a shade better. The Quality in the new Chalmers is the kind of quality that tells on the road and tells wonderfully. Now it is just tnis exceptional quality, just this shade of improvement that has brought Chalmers sales and production ahead in leaps these 12 months past I don't think the men in charge of affairs at the Chalmers factory realized what they had in the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers. At any rate they underestimated the demand. They built more than they had ever produced in any previous season, 'tis true, but still not enough. The first making order was snapped up quickly. Then came a second lot These went just as fast 1 jNow the factory is building the third lot and I understand that Chalmers has no intention of stopping even there. Quality it was that caused this un precedented demand. Chalmers certainly have the right idea in building cars. "Quality First" R. W. Craig. Inc.
