$22175 The Master Motor of Them All What other makers are still striving for we give you in the New Chalmers "Six." To the best features of the costliest cars we have added these crowning triumphs : Silence at all speeds ; silence that lasts. Sustained power ; even after years of use. No vibration; comfort and long life. Extreme flexibility, without intricate gearing. These features mean far more than the luxury they bring. They mean no wear no waste of power no deprecia tion. A car that lacks them, may cost you less to buy but it will cost you more to keep. When once you know the years of ex tra service these features add, you'll wonder how we give them at the price, $2175. Go ride in this car. Let it tell its own story in deeds. It can neither over-rate its virtues nor hide its defects. It must tell the truth" nothing else. Silent At All Speeds Many cars that are quiet at tea miles an hour, kick up a lot of noise at thirty. Let us see what the New Chalmers "Six" will do. Watch the speedometer; 3040 50 miles an hour and not a murmur from cams nor valves. We have discarded the noisy little wedge-like cams so widely used. They knock the valves open with a blow and close them with a snap. The big oval cams of this motor push open the valves and slide them shut with the smoothness of velvet. What Silence Tells You The silence of the Chalmers "Six" means more than the mere luxury of quiet. It tells you that your motor is working with the per fection of a watch without the slightest wear; that your car has not depreciated one iota; that it is as good as the day you bought it. And this silence continues for years. 30,000 miles of hard road service, equal to three years of average use, left this motor as good as when it started. $80,000 Extra Cost to Us An Enormous Saving for You This motor, like the trained athlete, grows better by action. The cast iron and nickel steel valves in general use today, rapidly become pitted and warped. They fail to shut tight; they waste power; they have to be re ground often. Our valves of Tungsten steel cost us $S0,000 extra per year. But Tungsten steel is not affected by the cylinder heat. So there's no warping no leaking no power wasted. They almost never need regrinding. This means an enormous saving of power to you. It means no wear no depreciation. Think of the years of extra service this master motor will give you. Power Supple as a Fencer's Wrist The power of our New "Six" is so flexible that you can throttle it down on high to a creeping gait in the crowd; then away swift as a swallow, mounting quickly to twenty, thirty, forty miles an hour without stress or effort. This wondrous flexibility is due to our big, roomy valves, they open 40 wider and"shut tighter than common. This gives freer passage to the gases. 1 he wonderful flexibility of this motor is amazing. You'll find you can do nearly everything on "high." It does away with gear shifting almost entirely. With this "Six" any supplementary gear mechanism would be useless. The motor itself gives a suppleness of power unknown even in costlier cars. A Non-Stallable Motor This motor will never go dead in the crowded city traffic. "1 he electric starter won't let it. Even if the driver should cut off the gas accidentally, the electric starter, which is always on duty, keeps the motor running won't let it stop. It prevents stalling under sudden overload. This is the greatest feature of safety and conveni ence put on a car in the past five years. An Electric Starter That Never Quits The simplest and surest starter ever made. A little motor spins the engine to start it. Then it re verses itself, becomes a generator and stores ud Dower Salient Features of Six-cylinder motor, T-head type, 4x5 40-65 h. p.

You simply throw on the switcl at starting and forget it. That Vibration Jinx After a long ride you are often tired and you don' know why. It's the vibration jinx in the crank case It means the moving parts are too heavy or a fractioi out of balance. We overcome vibration by forging our connecting rods stronger and yet 40 lighter than the average by giving the motor an extra long stroke and so reduc ing the number of strokes; by balancing all movind parts on a delicate scale. Even the clutch and th timing gears are balanced with the rest of the motor. The smoothness of the "Six" saves wear on the ca as well as on the passengers. The interval between th explosions of any "four" makes a gap in the powc stream. It produces a vibration that hammers cor stantly at the life of the car. There's no escape froi it. The explosions of the "Six" give an unbroke stream of power. It gives smoothness and econom that no "four" can equal. It adds years to the lil of the car. , Snap Your Fingers at Poor GasolinJ With our New "Six" you can use the low grades cl gasoline, because it gets the gas hotter than common! We heat the gas in three ways to make sure; b I two jackets of hot water and one of hot air. Everl! Qialmers Moid Oregon H"od River, Gilbert Implement Co. Albany, J. L. Irvin Euirene.
