been pushed back by the Austrians to tlto Szurduk Pass, fifty miles
southwest of Hermannstadt. In Dobrudja, it is reported, the German
Bulgarians have been checked south of the ralhfoad between Con

This $56,000,000 "ran" on the' 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers has not
peded the Chalmers factory.
Quite the contrary. The cars ore coming out of there bo fine, bo
so thoroughly tested, that all we have to do nowwhen -we take them off the
freight cars is to pour in oil, gas and water, run them a few miles, and
deliver.
There's an excellent reason for this condition. The Chalmers Company
has a young army of eagle-eyed inspectors who take great pride in finding
a fault in a car when it comes out of the plant.
This costs just $250,000 a year in cold cash just one quarter of a mil
lion dollars a year to w catch the little things."
We firmly believe that most factories would let "go by " nine cars ot of
ten that the Chalmers inspectors waylay.
It sounds like a lot of money, but when a company maintains the slocam
of "Quality First9 and bases a $56,000,000 business on the quality idea,
then it becomes quite clear.
We firmly believe that three times $250,000 is returned to the cash drawer .
of the Chalmers Company every year through such a policy.
It certainly makes selling a Chalmers car anything but a difficult matter
And that accounts for the "run" on the car. For "run" it surely is.
We arc handling from three to five times as many Chalmers cars as this
territory ever absorbed before.
Last November tho Chalmers Dealers bought $22,000,000 worth of '3400
r. p. m. Chalmers in forty minutes.
These Cars were all made and delivered before summer rolled around.
Then 10,000 more were added. These were taken up during the.
summer months.
Now 20,000 more are coming through.
That means that this model will be continued without change in.deMgn
into next season.
It also means a $56,000,000 business. Which is twice more than the .most
optimistic Chalmers executive ever- dared dream.
The quality in the car is the answer. -
Drive one a mile, and you won't be able to get' your monogram painted r
oil the doors quick enough.
