HUGE BULK GRAIN
ELEVATOR ORDERED
I
PLEASANT VALLEY (WASH.) WAREHOUSE COM
PANY CLOSES DEAL WITH TUM-A-LUM
LUMBER COMPANY.
lir a deal closed yesterday the engineering de
partment of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Company has.
contracted to build a 130,000 bushel grain elevator
for the Pleasant View Warehouse Company, costing
in the neighborhood of $22,000. Work will be start
ed as soon as the lumber can be laid on the ground.
This will be the first big bulk grain elevator in
this section of the country, and, it is believed, will be
followed by other similar elevators in other leading
wheat storage centers, for grain companies as well as
farmers individually, are being won over to the bulk
method of handling their crops.
The Pendleton Farmers’ Union recently dedica
ted a large elevator and the Pomeroy Union has
been considering one for some time, lh e local barm-
era’ Union has discussed the question but has not yet
taken any action.
The Pleasant View elevator will be completed in
plenty of time for handling this year s grain crops.

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. Insures
easy starting in cold weather.
The crankshaft is designed to transmit maximum
power of the motor without distortion or vibration.
A one-piece crankshaft of drop forged carbon steel,
heat treated. Noted for sturdiness. Strength.
Rigidity. Balanced while rotating at high speed
on a special machine. The balancing weights are a
linit with the shaft.’
AU o f fA e aboou m e a n s Q u a lity .
Transmission an J Axles
There is quality in the transmission. In the
housing. In the gears. 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. Light and stiff. Sturdy
and strong. Made of a pressed channel section. 5
inches deep. 2% inch flanges.
inch thickness.
Braced by 3 cross members and reinforcing plates.
A sheet steel body. With frame of select ash.
Genuine leather upholstWy. Luxurious cushions.
Soft and Deep. High seat backs. Wide seats.
Four bow top. Covered with Pantasote. Cur
tains equipped with quick and easy fasteners.
Equipment
Equipment is costly and complete. Westing-
house electric starting and lighting. Willard 80
A. H. Battery. Stewart-Warner Speedometer and
Vacuum feed fuel system. Gun metal finish in
strument board. Nickeled foot rest. These fea
tures indicate the high quality of equipment used
on the Chalmers cars.
