// ■■ ■Xlßri Quality First ONLY 14 CHALMERS CARS PER DEALER ARE LEFT IN THE GREAT $56,000,000 "RUN”

We are but one of 1600Cha liners Dealers. There are only 20,000 of the 3 100 r. p. in. left. So if we had to take our chance on an even alioluient among the 1600, we’d probably get only 14 more of them. The run on thia car has been mastodonic. \V e're lucky to have one left, because the Chalmers Company set out to build only $22,000,000 worth last fall. These were all built and delivered before the first day of summer came. Then we got the Chalmers executives to add 10.000. These were pretty well cleared up before the first day of September. Now we have just got them to build 20,000 more — making 18.000 of the 31-00 r. p. m. Chalmers all told—just $56,000,000 worth of one model. So yon se<- it has been like a regular "run” on a bank. Only instead of a bank it has been a car. And a truly magnificent car, too. V. e attribute the "run” to the wonderful quality in the car. We find men and women are buying better ami Itetter cars every day. Just go down among your acquaintances and note how main of them .are driving better cars than they used to. Probably 75 per cent of our sales have been to people who have owned lower priced cars. There’s a peculiar and interesting kind of a pridi in owning a regular car. A man said Io us the other day: "I bought a 'price’ ear a year ago. It was a oneyear car. fl looked fine and drove well lor a while. I got 10,000 miles on! of her. hut sh< couldn't stand the racket. 1 m all dune trying io

buy price tags. I used to say I'd never pay more than a certain sum for a pair of shoes. "1 ventured $2 beyond the price one dav and, thoroughly to my surprise, 1 got such a heller fit, so much more comfort, so much more in looks, and so much more in w ear, that 1 just figured I'd been a blame fool all these years. "It’s the same way with cars. You get just about what you pay for in a cheap ear. It’s like atlviee. I'm paving S3OO more for this Chalmers than L paid for my old car. But I can sec right away I'm really getting SSOO more in car and quality. Besides I’m driving a regular thoroughbred.” There are lots of men like our friend. People don't shop around much in buying meat for the home. A rib roast is a rib roast. If one butcher has rib roast at 2 cents a pound less than the other, it’s safe to venture that it's 2 cents a pound inferior meat. Quality—and the quality scale of life—that is what the American people are seeking today as never before, in our casual observation. And a great help is a quality car like the 3100 r. p. in. Chalmers. Forget that the price is only SIO9O Detroit. The price is not determined by the President of the Company, nor by the Chief Engineer. The price is determined by cost accountants. That accounts for the odd figure $ 1090., The sum of $1,000,000 has b« «-n ad<lcd to Chalmers factory equipment since the birth of the 3100 r. p. in. Chalmers about a year ago. Added whv? Just l;» make each car a little better than the one that went out the factory door ahead of it. I’.S.— To remind you—the Chalmers Company is building 20,000 more of them, i ins model will be continued without change in design into .next seaeou.
