ONE YEAR AGO THE
3400 i'jMii
BEING NOT 50000090 HAPPY
MILES LIE BEHIND IT
Just one year ago the 3400 r p m
Chalmers was horn
September 30th is its Anniver-
sary Day
It was untried unknown
looked a little strange because it
was different and nobody outside
of four men knew what it could
do
These four men — the men who
had dreamed the car — had little
to say
“What will it do ?” they were
asked
“Get in and try” they replied
And in three days time every
last Chalmers executive had ex-
perienced a thrill that was new
behind the wheel
They banged it around in city
traffic abused it on hills ran it
through broken fields made it
take hurdles they would never
ask their own personal cars to
take
They were amazed and then
they sat down and decided to
build three times as many of these
cars as they had ever built of any
model in a single year before —
C00 000 worth
Then behold the situation Six
months later these 18000 cars
were all built Then 10000 more
were ordered
And a few days ago we got
word that 20000 more are being
built — -48000 of these 3400
r p in Chalmers
48000 in all — a ?aG 300000
business in a single model 1
So you see why we are proud to
have a birthday party for car
Any car that has '0000000
happy miles of use behind it
certainly has an interesting his-
tory and its birthday anniversary
is an event
Remember this is only its first
birthday So successful has the
car proven that the Chalmers
Company is continuing to build
it right through into next year
So you’re safe in getting a car
now that won’t be obsolete in
the spring
Consider the price $1090
Detroit
Come in today Attend the
birthday party

For many years the militarist
of Germany prepared with great
care Lr the war which they at
last forced upon a goodly section
of the civilized worli Leaving1
aside all questions save that of
their preparedness there must
be admiration for the great work
they accomplished in the way of
getting ready Their siege guns
were astonishingly elective
Their trench building was marve-
lous But in one thing they
have falien far short of expecta-
tions Their Zeppelins have
proved to be a rank failure When
we say failure we mean from a
military point of view Of
course a Zeppelin can drup
bombs upon unfortified cities or
upon villages and kill mer wo-
men and children in their teds
But that is not whir That is
pure murder and of a particular-
ly atrocious kind akin to the
drowning of the passengers of
the Lusitania
