"Monday, August 23, closed the big gest sales day in the biggest sales month in the history of the Chalmers Motor company," was the announce ment of C. A. Pfeffer, vice-president and assistant general manager. Dur ing this week alone two train loads of Chalmers cars were shipped east to distributors and dealers in the met ropolitan districts to apply on orders which have been piling up faster than night and day production could take care of them. This record is all the more remark able following as it does on the heels of record breaking sales in July, dur ing which month more Chalmers cars were sold than in any other preceding July.

"While we are quoting Chalmers cars at prices lower than ever before placed on Chalmers quality," stated Mr. Pfeffer, "we have been enabled to make this reduction by building on a quantity production schedule and have not sacrificed quality In any detail. "We were satisfied that there was a great demand for a high class seven passenger model in the medium priced field and the sales which have resulted since our announcement have more than Justified this belief. "One of the mpst attractive features of the car is its luxurious riding quali ties. The large roomy body was de signed to fit the body. One rides in the car—not on it. The twenty-two inch rear doors are conveniently large. One of the special features of this Chalmers model is the disappear ing Pullman auxiliary rear seats which fold in flush with the front seat wall when not in use. This leaves the ton neau absoluately clear when in use as a five-passenger car."

Wilson of the American Automobile Association, who i 3 enroute to the Pacific Coast to pre side on motor car day at the American Road Congress. "With over two million automobiles in use, the motorists now make up an army of road users entitled to equal consideration with all other citizens," says Mr. Wilson, "though some of us can remember an earlier period when we were considered a special class, subject to all kinds of hampering legislation and considered chiefly from a revenue producing standpoint. "But we have finally obtained near ly all those rights which belong to the average citizen, and there is one thing in which we take a great deal of pride and satisfaction. In encouraging people to travel from town to town and from State to State, we have ac celerated astoundlngly the national viewpoint. Nevertheless, I must con fess to a belief that comprehensive highways improvement has only be gun, for it is now receiving deserved attention from a growing number of men who have most to do with the affairs of the nation." Speaker Champ Clark of the House of Representatives in a recent "home- State" speech gave a characteristic talk in which he said: "First and last tens of thousands of dollars' worth of wagons and buggies have been broken up and destroyed by reason of the bad roads in Missouri, and hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of horses, mules, and oxen have been wasted in the same manner perhaps the amount would run Into the millions. "I know this is not so lofty a theme as to discuss international questions of great pith and moment, but the problem of improving our roads is practical and can be solved. What's more, it ought to be solved. It is of immediate and pressing importance. Good roads mean increase of popula tion—lncrease of wealth—increase In church and school attendance l ncrease in social affairs—ln short. In crease In the Joy of living. Former Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, in an argument against any extensive military defense expenditure set forth that $5,000,000,- 000 In eleven years "would gridiron the United States with hard roa'ds twelve miles apart, so that no citizen would live more than six miles from a good road which wouM enable him to go everywhere." Mr. Bryan also said in an interview at Omaha recently that It Is only a question of time when the Federal Government will lend its assistance in the building of inter-State roads. "The significant feature of Mr. Bryan's words is his reference to inter-state roads," comments Chair man George C. Dlehl of the A. A. A. Good Roads Board. "This can be no other than the conception of a na tional system which will corelate and co-ordinate the systems of State high ways, Just as the State systems form the framework for the county and township systems of highways. The A. A. A. believes this an ultimate de velopment, but hardly possible In the beginning. An Inter-state system would be tangible and impressive and would tend to unity In our present somewhat haphazard systems of high ways. Mr. Bryan's utterance is an en couraging indication of the trend of thought among the men who shape our legislative policies. "Not long ago the chairman of the State Highway Commission of Maine, referring to Federal co-operation In good roads, asserted that the first expenditure in a State like Maine should be for connected seacoast roads which would permit of a quick mobil izing of troops at any threatened point of attack. A similar argument had been previously put forth In regard to the Pacific Coast and the Mexican border. The great value of highways and automobiles In the European con flict has been completely demonstrated and these two factors are certain to figure in national legislation relating to military preparedness." Overland Shipments Are Increasing Rapidly Since the beginning of the calendar year the shipments of the Willys- Overland Company have shattered practically every existing record pre viously established by manufacturers of medium of high priced cars. The production facilities of the big Toledo concern have been steadily Increased until now the shipments of a single day amount to more than the yearly output of Overland cars eight years ago. Less than two months ago the aver age daily shipments reached the 400 mark. August 26 502 cars were shipped. The average is now hover ing around the 500 point. With four months still remaining the present rate of Increase in shipments will more than equal the prediction made by John N. Willys, president of the Overland company. In January, to the effect that the Overland factory would be shipping 600 cars a day before the close of the year. In referring to the tremendous de mand for Overland cars Mr. Willys points out the continually growing for eign business of his company. "Our export shipments between Jan uary 1 and August 20 of this year amounted to 4,006 cars," declared Mr. Willys. "This Is an Increase of more than 217 per cent, over the foreign shipments made during the corre sponding period of time a year ago, when 1,846 cars were consigned to foreign countries. "While our export business for the current year has shown-a marked In crease over previous years, the re markable part of our success abroad Is due largely to the fact that Over land cars meet the requirements of automobile buyers on the other side of the Atlantic as well as those in America.'and Is not the result of Ail ing war orders from any of the for eign governments. "A number of American car manu facturers have boosted their export Hales by taking on large contracts placed by agents of the various na tions at war directly with the factory. Hut the demand for the Overland has been entirely from legitimate dealers. Rome Overland cars were comman deered at the beginning of the war and undoubtedly others are doing service In the different armies, but ony such have found their way to the front only after going through the hands of Overland dealers. "Moreover, the demand for Over land cars abroad Is not confined to Europe. Our sales In South Africa end the Far East have been ever, greater than we anticipated. When the buyers in those countries found they could not obtain cars from the European manufacturers who had for merly supplied a large proportion of the demand they naturally turned to America. The result has been that more American-made cars have been [-.hipped Into foreign territory than ever before. / BAKEUSBURG trfSßfig TELEGRAPH W v - m^Bmm Mi JH BA M^ Six $1145 *«'•' M /.o.fc.
