Compare two watches. They may look exactly alikoThey may be equal in diameter and thickness. They may weigh the same. Perhaps your eye can’t distinguish any difference between the gold in the two. One may arm to keep as good time as the other. Bzg Differences There Yet there may be a vast difference. One may be a Tiffany Swiss and the other a non-descript. If you trust only to an off hand examination you may make a bad mistake in your djoice. -r---True of Automobiles The same is true of automobiles. Some other car may closely resemble a Chalmers. It may weigh about the same. Have about the same whed base. The paint may look more or leas alike—at first glance. j Yet there may be a vast difference. Differences you can discover only by and comparison. Go Deep If you are to get the correct idea of the Chalmers, you must go beneath the surface. There the big, important differences lie. Differences in materials. Differences in methods of building. Differences in quality of workmanship. £_ =— To look only at the exterior of the Chalmers you wouldn’t discover that the gears and shafts of the transmission are of crucible nickel steel, case hardened and carefully heat treated.

Deep-Ltjinf Differences To glance at the body you wouldn't realise that the body frame is built with such great care from select ash. . That thia is covered by one-piece, welded sheet steel. Nor that the springs in the upholstery are of an extra- - ordinary spring steel. Nor that the frame of the chassis is of carbon steel, 5 inches deep and M of an meh thick. With flanges 2>£ inches wide. And with three strong cross saembers and reinforcing platca, — _ j — : Be Deliberate So when you examine the Chalmers don’t look hastily. That's unfair to the car and unfair to yourselfSome things you don't realize when you glance at the 7-passenger Chalmers: Lynite pistons. Crankshaft balanced while in motion. Cy/inJers and crank case cast in a unit. Timken axles —built to Chalmers design. Economical intake manifold. Chrome nickel driving shaft. Nickel steel differential gears heat-treated to secure hardness and toughness. And many other important points of superiority.

All of the above means quality— the of quality you need in the car you bay, and the hind of quality you GET in the Chalmers. ■ Touring Car 7-passenger . $1350 Touring Sedan, 7-paseenger .
