IN 1909 CHALMERS STARTLED THE WORLD by an
nouncing the first real four cylinder automobile for
$1500. Other makes followed the lead and rushed to
the front with all kinds of motor cars at prices around
$1500.
DURING 1910 AND 1911 you have seen nearly every kind
of a motor car offered at Prices from $1000 to $1500
-all due to the extraordinary success of the Chal
mers car of 1909.
FOR TWO YEARS THE CHALMERS ENGINEERS have
been working to better the Chalmers car details of
construction, materials, little improvements here and
there all to give the user the BEST motor car in the
world at the price.
THIS YEAR THEY GIVE YOU LUXURY-This year
they have turned their attention to giving you the
luxury. The exclusive features the conveniences
heretofore only offered on the Five Thousand Dollar
car are now all possessed by the Chalmers "Thirty
Six." Compare these features with the high-priced
cars, and then think if there is any OTHER car that
gives you such values for $1950.
IT'S A SELF-STARTING CAR -It starts every time just
by pressing a button. It's the Chalmers Patented
Compressed Air System. No monkeying with delicate
electrical motors or other junky devices.
IT HAS POWER-It has the power you need for our hilly
country. The motor, 4Jx5J, is a long stroke type; ball
bearing crank shaft, of course so you get all the
power that it generates.
FOUR FORWARD SPEEDS No high power car is RIGHT
without four forward speeds, but who before ever of
fered it on anything but the HIGH-PRICED cars?
Four speeds in the mountains sends you flying up the
grade, where the other fellow can't make it on a high
gear and his second speed is too slow. Unless you
have actually driven a four-speed car, you cannot
realize what this means.
VENTILATED FORE DOORS AND INSIDE CONTROL
Fore doors have proved themselves a luxury but in
this climate, in summer, are too hot unless thorough
ly ventilated. You can regulate this air on this new car.
DASH ADJUSTMENT FOR CARBURETOR. No more
raising the hood mixture is now regulated by a
needle valve on the dash. ou don't have to stop
your car to change the mixture.
DEMOUNTABLE RIMS, OF COURSE Another luxury
taken from the HIGH-PRICED CAR. We furnish
Continental (the standard) Demountable Rims.
THE CHASSIS is the same general type as used for the
the past three years. Motor en bloc ball-bearings
throughout multiple disc clutch enclosed fly
wheel unit power plant two bearing crank shaft
all brakes on rear wheels.
ELECTRIC LIGHTING SYSTEMS. Two systems of elec
tric lighting are offered at a slight cost. Electric side
and tail lamps and 100 hour storage battery for $25
or, for One Hundred Dollars you get the Vesta sys
tem of electric searchlights, side and tail lamps. A
dynamo on the engine constantly charges the battery
which supplies the equipment. No expense. No trou
ble. Press a button and you always have a light.
LUXURY OF FINISH. This year all cars will be more
beautifully finished. But the Chalmers, again, sets
the pace. For beauty of finish, soft, springy uphol
stering, fineness of detail, artistic design and exquis
ite beauty of appointments no other car can compare.
No picture shows the workmanship the attention to
minute details. You must personally examine this
car it will be a revelation to you.
And Here Is the -Fully Equipped Chalmers "Thirty" at $1650

THIS IS THE STANDARD "THIRTY" The car by which all
other cars are judged. So great has been the success of this
car, so satisfactory has been its relation of power to size, that

the "Thirty" has been designed, and by a tremendous in
crease of factory facilities can now be marketed at a price
which puts a Chalmers within the reach of everyone.
