CROWDS CONTINUE
AT THE AUTO SHOW
Attendance Greater Than on Cor
responding Day of Last Year's
Automobile Show
Although it would be difficult to !
exceed in numbers the crowd of Mon- •
day night, yet yesterday and last even
ing showed a great many more paid
admissions than the Tuesday of last
year. The show is now getting down
to real business and many people from
Central Pennsylvania cities and towns
are beginning to come in to inspect the I
cars. The factory men aro coming in
from the Boston show that closed Sat
urday evening and the expert speilers
are there demonstrating their elo- ;
quence as well as proving themselves
conversant with all the. line mechan- |
leal details of the chassis in the vari
ous exhibits. These men are worth j
listening to even though one may not j
be in the market for a motor car at j
the present time. Xot only do they i
explain the mechanical operations of !
their respective cars, but they can |
draw fine mathematical distinctions as !
to the why and wherefore of the ad- '
vantages claimed. These men wousd j
not be here under ordinary clrcum- I
stances, but considering that the local j
show comes late In the season, after
the larger shows are over. This en
ables them to come here and gives
the public an opportunity of hearing
the most expert automobile lecturers
sent out by the largest automobile
factories in the world.

ing Mr. Redmond in explaining the,
merits of the Lozier to those interest- i
ed. Mr. Drumpelman has taken in J

poses in the streets of Harrisburg. Mr.

CHALMERS MODELS
HAD SEVERE TESTS
New Cars to the Public, But Old
to the Engineers Who De
signed and Built Them
Lee Counselman, vice-president and
general manager, Chalmers Motor
Company says:
"The Chalmers Motor Company haa
this year anounced two new models,
new from the ground up.
".These cars are different from any
previous Chalmers models. They are
different from Either cars on the mar
ket. They embody new features of
design, new principles of construction,
new style.
"To the public they are just what
I have called them—new cars from the
ground up. To the engineers who
built them, they are old cars.
"For the building of an automobile
involves an amount of experimenting,
building and rebuilding, testing and
retesting, of which the buying public
has little conception.
"The Chalmers 'Six-60,' for instance,
was started more than two years ago.
It was months before that, that the
original idea of this car came to the
engineers. It was only after many
conferences among the oflicers of the
company and Chalmers dealers from
all parts of the country that the gen
eral specifications of this car were de
cided upon.
"Then, about two years ago, follow
ed a period of construction of which
only the Chalmers engineers knew
i much.
"After extensive study abroad and j
in thia country, certain principles of |
construction were decided upon by the
engineers. They were built into a car,'
And when this car was finally com
pleted It was sent out on the road,
every part to be tested—to be broken,
if such a thing were possible. The
preliminary tests of a new model In
volve thousands of miles of the most
strenuous driving Imaginable. For
instance, one of the experimental cars
of the Chalmers Model 24 was driven

car was sent through the South dur
