What you’re looking at

This page is **not a cartoon or satirical content**—it's a straightforward automobile advertisement for the 1915 Chandler "Six" automobile, priced at $1,595. The ad emphasizes that this six-cylinder car represents exceptional value through "profit-sharing," meaning the manufacturer claims to pass savings directly to consumers. Key selling points include 10% increased power over previous models, a streamlined body design, and features like an aluminum motor base, Bosch magneto ignition, and electric starting—luxuries uncommon in cars at this price point. The advertisement includes vehicle specifications (2,885 lbs, 16 miles per gallon, 3-55 mph) and an image of the open-air touring car. It's addressed to potential customers to visit dealers or request catalogs.
