The widening popularity of
Chandler's 1921 line, and the in
creasing number of applications
for territorial franchise represen
tation, has' necessitated the addi
tion of several new special repre
sentatives to the Chandler field
force.
This is true not only in the
United States and Canada, but in
the markets of the world as well.
It Is common knowledge through
out the industry that Chandler has
enjoyed an excellent export busi
ness since 1914, the beginning"bf
the company's volume production.
Today export shipments alone ac
count for better than 15 per cent
of the total nroduction. with a
gradual healthy gain each year in
total units shipped oversea..
Paul Heinen is the newest addi:
tion to the Chandler field force in
export circles. Heinen was edu
cated in Belgium, France, Ger
many and' England, -and received
his technical training at the Hag
en Institute of Technology.
For the past 15 years, he , has
traveled throughout the world,
spending six years representing
the American Metals Co. Ltd. in
Mexico and Latin America, and
nine years as the Cuban, South
and Central American representa
tive of the Otto Engine Works.
Ruggles Motor Truck Co. and
Paige.
For Chandler, Heinen will trav
el in England,' Scotland, the Scan-
danavian countries, Belgium, Ger
many. "Switzerland. Italy, Spain,
France and the Continent general
ly. '
The greatly increased business
Chandler has enjoyed in- Canada
n the past six months has neces
sitated the addition of H. Allan
Klngsley and Tom Stevenson as
special representative in that
field.

"Hills melted away like a starch

So spake the sage. Andy Gump,
on his arrival in Los Angeles in
the company of Andy Smith at
the eniTof a cross-country ride by
auto.
With that characteristic busi
ness acumen which marked nis
stewardship of his uncle's tor
tune, the important decision bear
ing on the choice of gasoline for
the cross-country trip was met
fearlessly by Andy.
Andy admits he is ran engineer
as welt as a keen business man,
and being well versed in automo
tive mechanics, knows what is

Whippet's Unique Construc
tion Gives Car Many Un
usual Qualites
With the sale of the Whippet
Six reaching new high , marks
monthly, Willys-Overland dealers
declare this popularity is partly
due to the car's unusual riding
qualities which are brought about
mainly through the adoption of
the low center of gravity, idea in
the construction of the chassis and
body. .The use of this design, en
gineers point out places the
weight of the car close to the
ground and thus eliminates the
vibration and top sway which is
noticeable In cars where the body
rides higher in the air.
The low center of gravity con
struction is a noticeable feature
this year in all products of the
all models following the success of
the four-cylinder Whippet which
made its first appearance nearly
a year ago. Since that time many
other automobile manufacturers
have"adopfed the low swung de
sign admitting its superiority over
the old'method of construction.
The performance of the Whip
Both Klngsley and Stevenson
have been in the automotive field
for a number of years and are well
acquainted throughout the trade.
Klngsley, who will travel East
era Canada for Chandler, spent
four years in the Orient with
headquarters at Manila, as Asst.'
General Manager of the Luneta
Motor Co., 'Maxwell and Chrysler
distributing agency. He was also
connected with the Wills' St
Claire factory branch In Cleveland
as general manager before joining
the Chandler organization.
Stevenson is Touted in the
Western Canadian territory where
he has a wide following in trade
circles. Before coming to Chand
ler, Stevenson was sales manager
for O. S. Chapln at Calgary, hand
ling Packard, White truck and
Overland;' manager of Western
Motors, Vancouver distributors
for Maxwell-Chalmers, and sales
supervisors for Western Canada
with the Chrysler organization.

In the light six field stamps It as
type of design being adopted for
a leader in its price classification.
With a big buying season for
automobiles just opening up, ev
erything points to success that is
fully up to the propheJeies of pros
perity made at the 'first of the
year, according to Edward ' Ver
Linden, president of the Peerless
Motor Car Corporation, Cleveland
"This country has become o
prosperous." he declares! "that
Lits ability to consume goods istar
greater than many people , can
imagine: W'hen some people read
that the automobile Industry is
planning to produce crver '4,000,
000 cars in '1927, thety are stag
gered by the figures' says Mr,
Ver Linden. "Some eten say that
the automobile manufacturers are
too optimistic. t
"But, the fact remains that
more people can afford cars than
ever before, and it! "is generally
known that it costs much less to
own and operate a, car today than
it did in 1919.
"Everyone who wants a car in
this country hasn't bought one yet.
A lot of original sales are being
made every day. Then, think of
the thousands of drivers who
bought cars a few years ago who
need new ones. And think of
your friends who used to have one
car, who now have two or more.
Think how quickly the export vol
ume is expanding. Peerless ex
port figures show big advances ev
ery month.
"Take all these factors into con
sideration and you'll'see why I re
gard the outlook as being exceed
ingly bright for the automobile in
dustry."
That the prosperity of this in
dustry 'reflects growth in other
commercial activities, is expressed
in Mr. Ver Linden's remarks on
the associated industries. "The
salaries paid by the automotive in
dustry either directly or indirect

In this department, motors are
subjected to a bewildering variety
of tests . to . check up on power,
economy and' endurance under
various load capacities. . Dynamo
meters, tachometers, pyrometers,
R. P. M. counters flowmeters--all
sorts of delicately calibrated and
Intricate apparatus are used to
eliminate theory from the per
formance of a motor car
In addition to its extensive lab
oratoryresearchand,.exper!mental testing, a fleet of test cars is also
maintained by the. Chandler or
ganization to check up on the ac
tual road conditions a' car would
undergo in the. hands., of owners.
These cars -travel thousands of
miles every week with experienced
drivers at the' wheel In order to
further prove the quality of the
various units In the Chandler
chassis.
"If the average motorist could
spend a week in our experimental
department he would' see things
that would open his eyes," said
Holmes. "He would find a large
force of men exclusively engaged
in actually punishing machines.
He would see these men checking
vital units under all sorts of road
conditions, riding cars at fast
speed to determine just how much
punishment a particular unit can
stand, climbing steep hills at vary
ing speeds to' determine the re
action of the power plant under
distinct climbing conditions."
Acceleration tests are made at
various speeds and checked by
split-second stop watches, from
both flying and standing starts.
Deceleration performance tests
braking efficiency are also con
ducted with stop watch tests.
Holmes mentioned.
Cars are frequently taken to the
Indianapolis speedway by Chand
ler experimental engineers, to be
driven with ' the wide open throt
tle for hours without a stop. After
this punishing performance th
entire car is dissembled and each
unit is examined minutely so that
the exact amount of wear on all
operating surfaces, . such as bear
ings, etc., may be determined.
wnue It might seem a waste
to some people to actually put
men to work to punish cars, it is
by. this practice that we are ah
able to foresee and eliminate any
weaK spot . in our product."
iioimes mentioned. Vlf automo
biles were built in a haphazard
manner, instead of a scientifical
ly exact manner, the average own

pair bills of hundreds of dollars
yearly. . .
