Confidence
A cheque may be worth no more than the scrap of
paper on which it is written. It may be worth a
million. Its value depends solely upon the financial
responsibility of the man who signs it. The mere
signature is sufficient to credit or discredit its worth.
Public confidence is a matter of reputation. The
monogram on the radiator of the Six-:)0 is the en
dorsement of the Chalmers Motor Company. The
motor buying public has come to accept it as a guar
antee of sterling worth in a motor car.
This endorsement has stood behind every car that
has left the Chalmers shops. It will continue to
stand as long as Chalmers Motor Cars are built.
The Chalmers Six-:;0 with 3400 R. P. M. engine
sells for $1215 f. o. b. Salem. This is $225 lower than
the minimum price ever placed on a Chalmers
product. The monogram on the radiator of the Six
I'.O is just as strong a guarantee of Quality as it was
on the radiator of a $:000 Chalmers limousine.
Long years of experience in motor car building,
quantity production and ultra modern factory
facilities have enabled us to place this Chalmers en
dorsement on a $1215.00 car.
The Chalmers Six-nO has made a strong impression
with the people of Salem who are looking for fine
points in auto construction. On display at

Luncheon kits have not been aug

but our own manufacturers have added
to their lines. A set has two cases,
made as long as possible to fit on the
running boards, one on either side. One
carries all the fittings, bottles, jars and
dry foods, while the other has a small
ice tank in the center with food con
tainers ut either side.

Desired For Touring
Six-cylinder motors are the most do

public view point nt the present time,
according to Mr. liyuu. Mr. Ryan
handles the agency for Saxon motor
i cars here and his statement is based
j upon the belief of many automobile

recently.
I "The reasons why the six-cylinder

been told so often that they hardlv

power, the absence ot
; the jar, and the way in which the six
cylinder is giving a satisfaction to
countless motorists, all point to the fact
that this type has a big following.

can now be obtained ut a low cost,

When it first came upon the market in
costly cars, it was a star in the heav

car of mighty power, lightness and

reason for the big demand that the mo

cars.

Reliahih'tt
OUR absolute faith in the Max
well car is due to two reasons:
First, we have known that
the Maxwell Company uses nothing
in the entire car but the very best
that money can buy. We have
known that the steel is scientifically
heat treated, that the car is built
under the supervision of able engi
neers, that every car is rigidly tested
many times before it leaves the
factory.
Second, we have known that the
big and well established company
behind the car is building for the
future, that they value a satisfied
owner above everything else.
Now that the Maxwell has set the
World's Motor Non-Stop Mileage
Record, by travelling continuously
for 44 days and nights averaging
500 miles per day you will under
stand the benefits you personally
may derive from the Maxwell policy.
Did you ever hear of any car going
22,000 nriles without once stopping
the engine, without any repairs or
readjustments, with only one gallon
of gasoline to every 22 miles?
There is no reason why you
shouldn't have a reliable, service
able and economical Maxwell car.
The first cost is low, the operating
cost is low and our pay-as-you-ride
plan makes the purchase easy for
everyone.
Let us see you about this now,
before our allotment is exhausted.
