SALESMANAGER
OR
CHALMERS IS NAMED
Paul Scnith, One of the Best
Known Auto Men .of the
Country Appointed.
Harry L. Keats, northwest distrib
utor for the Chalmers line, has just
received word from the Detroit con
cern of the appointment of Paul Smith;
one of the best known men in the au
tomobile business, as salesmanager for
the Chalmers . company, effective on
June 1.
Smith, who first came into promi
nence as sales manager of the Stude
baker Corporation and later in the
I same capacity with the Lozier Motor
company, enjoys in acquaintance
among dealers throughout the country
probably second to no one man In this
line, and his past experience makes
him particularly adapted to the new
LI
OCAL BRANCH TO
BE WITHDRAWN
Pierce - Arrow People Will
-Concentrate . Efforts With
Seattle as Headquarters.
The Pierce-Arrow Sales company,
through their Portland manager, H. J.
Banta, announce their intention of
withdrawing1 the branch house from
Portland, and concentrating the north
west business with Seattle, Washing
ton, as headquarters. ,
TJie Pierce-Arrow people have main
tained an .establishment In Portland
for the past three years, and when
Mr. Banta came to Portland to take
charge: of the business be immediately
made many' warm personal friends. He
was elected president of the' Portland
Automobile Trade association the early
part of this year, and; has handled th
business of that " organization with
great credit. His announcement that
he is to leave Portland is received
with much regrefc by all those who
have known him.
Seven distinct body styles, all of the symmetrical
long, low nautical type. Five and six passenger cars
with aisle-way between front seats individual arm
chairs in front. The National parlor car has four deep
massive adjustable individual arm chairs that move and
tura s P?sseners can face each, other. And back of
your National s beauty of appearance, "back of its in
trinsic value, is the reputation and stability of an old
. dependable and permanent institution.

position which he assumes, and makes
it certain that' this combination with
a company as popular and well es
tablished as the Chalmers company
and a man of Smith's acquaintance and
ability, will be a storng contender for
the front ranks the coming season.
Smith's large and favorable ac
quaintance with dealers throughout
the country places him in a position to
get results quickly, and with, the new
Chalmers line, as already announced
for 1916, he should easily eclipse his
previous records, which have always
been of the best.
This announcement will be of more
than passing interest to the Portland
trade, as Smith has become well-known
on the Pacific coast, through his asso
ciation with Lew Rose, formerly Port
land manager of the Studebaker Cor
poration. These two men recently or
ganized the R-S Corporation for the
purposte of operating a chain of retail
stores through California and the
northwest. They have established sev
eral branches In the southern state and
were about to enter the northwest field
when the announcement of Smith's
appointment came. The concern will
continue business in California with
Lew Rose In charge.
Mr. Keats. Is well pleased with the
change in the Chalmers organization,
having a "very high regard f pr Smith.

Tho remarkably low price is directly
in line with the policy of giving the
consumer the benefit of the saving ac
complished by the wonderful facilities
of the big Toleda factory. Six years of
preparation and development of these
facilities have brought the company to
the point where they can offer, a real
family car, combining road comfort
and economical operation for this low
price. i
W.i J. Pedler, local K manager for
Leavltt. stated that the big additions
at the factory make possible a- dally
output of 600 f. cars, or a double that
which gave the Overland company first
place in the records of the Automo
bile : Chamber of Commerce. Over
land officials declare that It is only
the economics of such a tremendous
production that' enable them to estab
lish a price for their product which is
so revolutionary. -,
Stay Seat rive Persons.
- Model 83, as the new car is known.
has a bodjr roomy enough to seat five
grown persons comfortably: In power,
finish, comfort, equipment and con
struction, it Is fully the equal of Its
predecessor.
The 85 horsepower motor Is exactly
the same as that of last season's large
four, and in view of the car's lighter
weight the surplus of power is even
greater. Its cylinders have a bore of
4 Inches and a stroke of 4 inchest
Experiences of Overland owners during
the past year have shown the propor
tion of power to weight to bo amgle
for all purposes.
The body also is tike that of last
season's Model 80, conforming to the
very latest notions in streamline de
sign. As In the former model the shell
is of a single stamping which joins
its curve without a break in lines to
the slope of the engine hood. The ex
terior of the car is entirely smooth.
Frame, running board, brackets and
battery box are concealed by the run
ningboard shield, and crowned fenders
of heavy" gauge steel add materially to
the appearance -of the car. -Concealed
door hinges and Inside handles carry
out the smooth effect. ..
The seats are roomy with high,' com
fortable backs.'. ?The divan upholstery

This will apply also to all Vacuum Cup Tires at present in service.
This announcement follows logically the result of .The Automo

cars averaged 6,760 miles, three oCthem exceeding 8,900 miles.
' On the new basis of guarantee, Vacuum Cap Tires are lower

Bear in mind also that Vacuum Cup Tires are the only tires
guaranteed not to skid on slippery pavements, or returnable at
full purchase price after reasonable trial.
