'A HOT SPOT Chalmers
gives "a little extra'
every time y oa ask it
NlUNK paying $coo or more for a car. is entitled. to
something more than "mouse-colored performance
That thinrr called "a little extra" is the middle
liame of this Hot Spot Chalmers.
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.
Hot Spot "breaks" up the gas so-that the engine can
get at the power that nature put in gas and RamVhprnnnishes
the job by feediug it gently, cjuickly and to e;lc'1 cylinder at
lust tne ngnt moment to.give results dc luxe.
