from the Indiana Baptist convention and represented Franklin College’s share of the collections of the con ventioa on the new world movement

for May and June.

The 125.900 will be used as the nest-egg of the $400,999 demanded of Franklin College before the general board of promotion of the Rockefeller Foundation makes an added gift to the school of 1299,990. or any part of that sum. at a ratio of $1 for $2 raised by the college toward the (-♦499.990 endowment.

The Motor of Seven Years Ago and the Motor of Today

The Chandler Six of 1*2# is a refinement of that first Chandler Six of 1*13. Seven years of devotion on the part of the Chandler organization to this one Chandler motor has placed it in the position of distinction which it holds

today. *

Seven years of service in the hands of thousands of owners, seven years of skillful application by Chandler engineers, has

brought the Chandler motor and the one standard Chandler chassis to approximate perfection. In these seven years many motors of many makes have come and gone. Chandler continues a leader among fine cars, because of the excellence of Its performance. On the one Chandler chassis are mounted

six handsome types of body.
