THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

TO THOSE WHO HAVE THOUGHT OF BUYING A CHALMERS CAR

An arrangement has been effected whereby the Maxwell Motor Company has leased for a * period of five years the properties of the Chalmers Motor Company. The immediate effect of this transaction is: 1. The Chalmers car will be continued under the Chalmers name for a period of five years. 2. Those distributors or dealers who have been successfully marketing the Chalmers car will continue to do so. The appraisers of the property and their engineers report the current Chalmers model a good car and the Chalmers plant a wonderful factory. The first move we have made is to increase the efficiency of the Chalmers organization. The second move was to place behind the Chalmers car the resources of the Maxwell Motor Company.

President and General Manager Maxwell Motor Company, Inc.

This is a business transaction between two automobile companies of probably no more than ordinary interest to the public but important to you if you have thought of buying a Chalmers for these obvious reasons: 1. You obtain a good car. 2. You obtain a car produced in a magnificently equipped plant 3. You obtain a car produced by an organization materially strengthened by the addition of able executives. 4. You obtain a car produced by an organization materially strengthened by additional financial resources. 5. You obtain a car from a distributor or dealer who will have the support of this organization. In this way all three of us prosper in the transaction.
