First Quality Has Put
Chandler in First Place
Tl JHEN men talk now of fine cars selling at me
lt dium prices they speak first of the Chandler.
Because, for five years, the Chandler has been such
a good car, so well built, so dependable in its ser
vice on the road. And because now, so distinctly,
it offers extraordinary value. '
The most distinguished feature of the Chandler
Six is its marvelous motor Chandler-designed and
Chandler-built which, through five years of re
finement without radical changes, has been devel
oped to a point approximating perfection.
The life, pick-up, power and endurance of the
Chandler motor have been a revelation to thou
sands of experienced motorists.
The Chandler motor is mounted in a really great
chassis, and Chandler bodies offer an attractive
range of choice.

Sherman Wakefield Is Sure That
Reading Optimistic Paper Adds

lieves In X Business
Proposition.
Sherman Wakefield, well known
farmer of Heppner Flat has entered i
into a twenty year contract with the
Gazette Times and will make pay
ment once in every five years, cover
ing his subscription in advance.
When Mr. Wakefield noted the fact
that the price of the Gazette-Times
was going to raise to $2.00 on the
first of July, he lost but little time
in coming into the office with a busi
ness proposition.
"I want to subscribe to your paper
for twenty years," said Mr. Wake
field to the editor. oNt being used
to such talk, the editor attempted
to pass the matter off lightly by start
ing a discussion of politics or the
war, or the wheat crop, but Mr.
Wakefield would not be side-tracked.
"See here," said hc,"I notice that
you are going to raise your price on
July 1. Now what I want is a twenty
year subscription at your present
rate. How does that sound to you?
With the priviledge to pay for five
years in advance now and renewing
at the end of each five year term."
The editor needed no further urg
ing and the check from Mr. Wake
field was exchanged for a receipt cov
ering the first five years.
"You know," said Mr. Wakefield,
after he was asked if he expected to
!ive twenty vears more, or whether
he expected the Gazette-Times to con
tinue in business that length of time,
"I firmly believe that by reading your
optimistic paper during the coming
years, my life is bound to be prolong
ed. On your own business stability,
I am perfectly willing to stake my
chance."
