Revealing Today Chalmers Enclosed Cars

I am revealing today the new creations in Chalmers enclosed cars,
bodies are the best that the Chalmers Comnanv has built.
The lines are different from anything you have seen. You'll find them
refreshing like a breath of crisp autumn air drawn deep into the lungs.
But your first trlance inside that is the revelation Ynn nnnn K
door with a little feeling of expectancy, the lights flash on and the whole picture
is before your eyes.
No, it is not a painting or a vision. 'Tis reality; entrancing reality.
lne intenors,ryou know, are done by that celebrated artiste, Lady DufF
Gordon, the world s most eminent designer of gowns. She has applied her
great knowledge most wonderfully in choosing materials and interior fitting'
tor these great Chalmers cars. b
What a privilege to have her name stamped as fashion's final touch on
your town ear or limousine! What a delight and source of pride to the ladies
of the house. '
And what a comfort! For, as Lady Duff-Gordon says," she has "tried.
above all, to make the cars livable. ' ,
The woodwork is of inlaid mahogany. The floors richly carpeted. Windows
are silk curtained. There's a lounging pillow eiderdown and silk, a daintv
hassock. Press a button and a toilette case, or a gentleman's smoking set, corhe.
out from concealment in the side of the body. ' ' "
The soft, harmonious colorings which Her Ladyship has specified can be
seen far better than described. "
