Within the last few months motor- ■
ists have watched the price of gaso
line climb from IX to 22 cents.
"All motordom is waiting expect

tributor of the Chalmers, "but prob
ably nothing will be done.
"Outsido of this," he continued, "the
exportation of gasoline threatens to
send the price of automobile fuel
soaring to heights never before at
tained.
"Producting high power and high
apeed at the cost of former low power
and low speed ii to-day the bone of
furious enginering arguments.
"Chalmers engineering." declares
Mr. Barner. ."has succeeded notably in
keeping itself from being drawn into
the whirlpool of high speed and high
power at the cost of operating econ

"Our factory engineers have kept
high power and high mileage per
gallon of fuel lashed securely to

"Chalmers engineers have ap
proached the whole speed and power
matter with their eyes everlastingly
on economy of operation.

per gallon of gasoline consumption,
while the new Six-30 Chalmers 3400
r. p. m. engine gets from eichteeen to
twenty-one miles out of twenty gallons
of gasoline consumed.
"The new Chalmers high-speed
high-power engines, in other words,
attain from 45 to 48 horsepower at'
the former cost of 20 to 25 horse- |
power.
"This is especially significant to the
purchases of motorcars in view of
the upward trend of gasoline prices.
"We have applied ourselves in
tensely in the Chalmers organization
to the job of producing high power
and high engine speed without jeopar
dizing for a moment the imperative
matter of operating economy.
"We are glad to announce that we
have wrung high speed out of our
engines and at the same time cut
down gasoline consumption one-third.
"Burning up twice the necessary
amount of gasoline far the sake of
power and speed that cannot be used
has no place in sensible engineering," j
I concluded the Chalmers official.
