I Chalm ers 7 -Passenger, $ 1 3 5 0 í What is it that sets Chalmers cars apart from all others? Why is the Chalmers a better value than many other cars — some of much higher price? Here are a few reasons. Only a few. Read them. Then come to us and let us prove to you that fneaning of the word Quality—in a motor car. Materials -S' The Chalmers, inch for inch, pound for pound, Stands high above the other cars near it, in size or price. Chalmers selects only the finest raw materials. For the frame—carbon steel. For the axle shafts and propeller shaft—chrome nickel. For the front axle—drop forged carbon steel. For the motor casting — close-grained gray iron. For the rear gears—nickel steel, heat treated to secure hardness and toughness. For the transmission housing— aluminum alloy. So it goes throughout the car from end to end. Examine the Chalmers carefully. The deeper you go the deeper you are impressed with the quality of Chglmers materials. Manufacture Chalmers builds “from the ground up” in Chal mers own shops. Motors are Chalmers built, from rough castings to the final test. Built with skill, perfect facilities and untold care. The motor is a light weight, high power six. Walla are tested for uniform thickness, to prevent the possibility of distorton and loss of compression. A specially designed intake manifold improves carbufetion. Handles fuel economically.

With Hyatt quiet bear ings. Gears and shafts are made of hickel steel, case hardened. The transmission housing is cast from aluminum alloy. The axles are amply strong to withstand all the stresses of hard service. The front axle is an I-beam drop forging of carbon 'teeL Spindles arc extra large. With Timken roller bearings. A disc protector keeps out dust or grit. Rear axle: light, strong, simple. The identical type used on some of the most costly American and European cars. Frame and Body An exceptional frame.
