If cars hold up and win in contests, they naturally
will give the utmost service at the lowest possible cost
to the customers and owners. Any car that can go from
Denver to Mexico City, or that can go 208 miles a day
for one hundred consecutive days, as a Chalmers-Detroit
"30" did, is a pretty safe car to buy.
a
The contest rallies of the American Automobile Association say that a
car is a stock car if a manufacturer makes a minimum number of twenty
five of that particular type. Some manufacturers have made twenty-five
cars of a certain tvpe in order to get into certain contests. A Chalmors
Detroit stock contest car is simply one of J000. It does not differ in stock
specifications from any car we sell. If some one tells you his car won a
race, find out whether it was a car out of a stock of twenty-fivd-or out of '
jugular stock ot hundreds o rthousands built to sen.
We don't want any prospective buyer of an aulo
mobile to believe these things merely because we say
them. Make your dwn investigations. If you don'fc
know yourself, please ask someone who does. Tho,
more a man knows about automobilo construction, the
easier it is for us to sell him a Chaliners-lJotvoit car.
The utmost value at the price is our ambition, and wo
Jet Chalmers-Detroit owners say whether wo realize it.
