Chalmers Talk
In our ad two weeks ago we gave the standards by which to judge a motor car.
As we stated, combined properly in one car they assure that big resultSatisfactory
Service.
Here are the standards which you should have in mind in purchasing a car: Am
ple Powerenough and not too much; Flexibility of Control; Safety, Reliability, Good
Looks; the Quality to Wear and Fair Price. These are the "yard sticks" we are going
to apply to the Chalmers "Thirly-Sijc,"
First, on the basis of ample but not extravagant power. The long stroke motor
of this model developes full 36-horsepower. It gives you all the power you need for any
conditions and yet it does not uselessly burn gasoline. This motor is a faultless puller
in heavy going. The Chalmers "Thirty-Six" motor is built entirely in the Chalmers
shops. Thus you are sure you get out of it all that is possible in power and economy of
operation. '
The connecting link between the motor and the driving shaft is a four forward
speed transmission. This transmission, taken with the long stroke, carefully manufac
tured motor and the improved carburetor with dash adjustment, gives a flexibility of
control which brings praise from the most experienced drivers.
A motor is not necessarily good because it is built on a certain principle. You
cannot, of course, build a good motor on a bad principle. But you might build, a poor
one on a good principle. The principle of the Chalmers "Thirty-Six" motor, with big
valves in the head, cylinders en bloc and two-bearing crankshaft is unique, but well
tried, of proved efficiency. And yet it is not because of the principle alone that this
motor has unusual merit.
It would be possible for the Chalmers shop to build just as efficient a motor of
another good principle. The details of design, the materials used and the workmanship
are the most important factors towards a perfect motor. Many arguments are heard
concerning the virtues of various types of motors. Several types look equal to us,
theoretically. The arguments in favor of one are as convincing as the ar
guments in favor of another. But the big point is that it takes something more
than blue prints to make a motor that is unique from the standpoint of smoothness and
economy of operation. Chalmers motors are that sort, because they are well designed,
well built of the best materials obtainable and thoroughly tested before delivery. We
are sure that the methods of testing motors employed by the Chalmers factory are not
equaled in more than two or three plants in the country. They are not surpassed by any.

not believed by Kazlma or his friends
that foul play was Intended, but the
peculiar affair Is looked upon a hav
ing been an accident. Several of the
shot found lodgement lu Knzlina's
person, two or three striking hi
shoulder and an equal number
wounding hi head and face. One of
Kazlma's friend nld that the charge
wa fired by a boy who was experi
