The battle of the giants is on. It is a battle royal for the
supremacy of the medium priced motor car field.
It is the battle of that type of motor which smashed all
speed and endurance records at Indianapolis and Chicago—
against old style motors.
It is the battle of the principles of construction that went 90
miles an hour, for 500 miles at Indianapolis, and 160 miles an
hour for 500 miles at Chicago—against out-dated principles
of motor construction.
• It is the battle of the manufacturer against the middleman,
the producer against the assembler, of buying for cash, against
buying on time, of new efficiency in methods of manufacture
and administration against inexperienced methods.
It is the battle of Quality and lower profits against higher
profits and lack of quality.

The great vakve-in-head motor, with overhead
camshaft, costs us $80.00 more to build in our own
shops, than the ordinary type of motor can be bought
for on the outside, and most of the competitors in our
price class are using the ordinary type of motor.
When Chalmers engineers went to Europe to
study design two years ago, they found European
designers at work on high speed motors of the valve-
in-head type with overhead camshaft
European makers had already tried this type out
in their racers. They were perfecting it for a road
car.
We hoped to be the first in America to adopt this
style of motor. But when the war stopped European
makers, fate decreed that we should lead the world
in the use of the valve-in-head overhead camshaft
motor for a stock car.
We were not surprised at the showing at Indian-
apolis and Chicago, where this type of motor won all
honors. We knew a year ago that these results
would be achieved.

Some one said a short time ago that people buy
motor cars largely on three P’s—Paint, Price and
Performance. You can measure this wonderful
Chalmers car, at $1350, by any one of these three
standards. It is right in Paint, which indicates
finish and wearing qualities.
It is right in Performance, because no car at any
price, performs better than this car does.
And it is right in Price. No one in the history
of the industry ever approached such quality at such
a price before.

Galveston County Institutes Have Been
Postponed.
Special to The Tribune.
, Austin, Tex., Aug. 28.— Advices have
been received by the state department
of education that considerable damage
was done by the storm to the rural
schools of Harris county; that every
country school building was damaged,
the average damage amounting from
$300 to $500 to each building. ,
On account of the result of the storm
in Galveston county, the county in-
stitutes which were to have been held
throughout that county, Sept. 6-10, have
been postponed.
s
IP "^WO years ago we saw three things. First
| was that the tendency of the public demand
M in both Europe and America was to a
compact high speed motor that was more efficient,
would get away quicker, run more smoothly, have
greater flexibility, show greater economy and last
longer under hard service.
Second was that a public temporarily diverted to
cars that only looked well and rode nicely for a while,
would swing back to demand quality manufacture
and the ability to "stay put.”
Third was that only those manufacturers who
built their own cars in large volume and bought their
own materials for spot cash at the advantage of the
market could survive.
Motor Designed in Europe
So we sent our engineers to Europe to design a new
motor and began to lay our plans for a greatly
increased production this season.
X We are now building two big new factory additions
to handle the work. We added machines that cost
$90,000.00 apiece to do work in our factory in order
to give this remarkable quality car to you at $1350.
Here is the result.
No one dreamed that such a car could be built for
$1350. It is equal to cars that sold for $4000 three
years ago, it isn’t a made-over model, reduced in
size, or certain things eliminated to fit the price—it
is a brand new car, designed specially as a Quality
car at a low price.

Take a Ride in this Car
Take a ride in this car,” and see for yourself if
you do not get in this Chalmers type of six-cylinder
motor all the smoothness, all of the flexibility, al of
the pick-up, and all of the “pep” that is claimed for
any other motor built, no matter how many cylinders
it may have.
Therefore, we say that all of our strength, all of
our organization, all of our money, all of our reputa-
tion, are back of these six words: “TAKE A RIDE
IN THIS CAR.”
Demonstrators are now in the hands of our dealers.
