You- find it in the followine ways: . U I. When you want "a little extra" power on a hjll. y s. When you want "a little extra"smoothness in traiTic performance. 3. When you want "a little extra'' mileage on tires. 4. When you want "a little extra" mileage on gas. For there are two things in particular this Hot Spot Chalmers is noted .for. One is the power it extracts from as; nnd the other is the ease 'with which that power is used. Sitting in the tonneau or at the wheel you notice them. .'v ' And notably the last named. The stillness, the lack of lurch. tne niuming ot an mecnamcai action is as noticeable as the fog horn is to the mariner when the fog horn stops.
