Widespread demand has taken the Chandler into every city, every _sec- tion of the country. Owners have put it to test under every conceivable condition. And everywhere the Chandler has made good. So good that we have not found—nor has any one of the hundreds of Chandler oun found—a single mechanical weakness. Men marvel at its power, its flexibility, its economy. 'e have not had to make a single chassis change. The only change for 1914 is in body design, and in this we believe ave achieved the ultimate. Hereis a car thatin its first season met nothing but praise from the criti- men who paid their money for it and expected great things of it. Not one of these buyers was disappointed. And why should the record of the Chandler be otherwise? Who build the Chandler? Men who had been building the highest grade siceylinder Gs cars for seven years. Men who Anco sixes. Men who knew that a high-grade, light-weight eco- Romical sir could be built to sell at a foo price. Men who were competent to build such a car, Why shouldn't such men win out? Just because six-cylinder cars always had been heavy, and high-priced and expensive to run was no reason. Some folks thought it was, but it wasn't. We have proved that it wasn't. For a long time the average car owner contented himself with four-cylinder cars— knowing what he was missing in continuous flexible power and instant responsiveness, but willing to gct along without it so long as it cost so much, Alter a while, though, he beganto demand a “six” that should be within his means. And with a rush the builders of fours began building up their fours into sixes, adding two cylinders, and supplying a demand without meeting its jan ‘aot the Spring of th en—in the Spring of 1913—came the Chandler, Its advent truly marked one of the important epochs of Motor History. For here wasa real six, built by a group of men who knew sixes if any group of men in the world knew. And it was asix that weighed only 2985 pounds completely equipped. It was a six that did anythi thing thet ANY ANY high- priced six could do, and did it economically. Still it sold for $1785. It is not surprising that now—for 1914— other builders of sixes are offering new models at prices something like the Chandler price! Not a bit. The Chandler paved the way and proved it could be done. There is nothing CUT OUT of the Chandler Light Weight Six to make its price possible. Ecery eital detail that’s in high priced cars is in the Chand- ler, And it’s there in highest quality.
