TO MOTORISTS
A SALES CAMPAIGN AS IT IS
BUILT AROUND A PfIOTOR SALE
Why the Chandler Company Features
Its Power Plant in All Publicity
for the Instruction of Every
body
Contributed 'by Andrew Redmond, lo
cal dealer at Harrisburg, Pa., of the
Chandler Motor Car Oompaaiy.
In some respects the building of au
tomobiles bears a startling resemblance
to the clothing business. Yoai may, for
instance, ray $25 for a suit of ready
made clothes that for perfect fit and
general appearance has all the advan
tages of the suit for which a custom
tailor would charge from $75 to SIOO.
But the tale is not told until the record
of service is complete. Ninety-nine
times in one 'hundred, the suit from the
shelf passes into the discard, from a
year to two years in advance of the
tailor-made product. And the purchaser
who bought the ready-to-wear article
is frequently Sioney out, because he
failed to look "beyond the mere exterior
of things.
Because we ibelieve t'he motoring
public to be educated beyond this point
in the selection of their motor ears, we
have subordinated talk on the exterior
selling points in our car for the more
important features of the motor in otir
publicity of the past year. We have not
only built a sales campaign on our
motor, but .»ave just finished t'he most
successful year in our history through
selling the power plant to every pros
pective customer. The policy has work
ed out perfectly in every detail and we
have found the" great majority of pros
pects eager bo learn more about the
mechanical parts of the car which have
been so little touched upon by sales
men in recent years.
Our decisioin to feature the six-cyl
inder motor was brought about through
the receipt of many letters from Chan
dler owners. We found that the great
est enthusiasm seemed to be centered in
the pulling power, a.'celorating quali
ties and hill climbing ability of the
motor iir4hcse owners' letters. We rea
soned. naturally, that the feature that
appealed to so many owners would
meet a like response from prospective
buyers and our advertising of the past
year has therefore centered upon the
power plant of the Chandler Six.
The story of the development of
the Chandler Six motor goos back to
the days of the famous twenty-four
hour races at Brighton Beach. In those
days the present executives of the
Chandler company were staunch adher
ents of the six-cylinder type of car
which was just making its appearance
in this country. To back their faith in
the stamina of the six, they entered
two six-cylinder cars in one of the big
twenty-four hour events at Brighton
Beach. The cars finished first and sec
ond in this gruelling race and estab
lished a new world s record for the
round-the-clock event.
The of the six-cylinder
type of-ajo tor since that date has been
mainly along the line of weight reduc
tion. The old sixes were perfect me
chanically, but the hiige separate cast
cylinders connecting rods, pistons, etc.,
all added to the weight and therefore
'the cost of upkeep of rhe car. The de
signing of the present Chandler Six mo
tor is a striking instance of the advance
made in automobile engineering method*
since the early davs of the industry.
When our engineer, J. V. \Vlhit
bewk, designed this motor, lie was work
ing toward a completely assemble! car
which must weigh not more than 3,000
pounds. How closely he and his assist
ants figured can be estimated from the
fact that the car weighed just 2,970
pounds when finally completed and
placed on the scales. In designing the
motor it was to estimate from
the drawings and plans, the weight of
every cylinder, ram Shaft, crankshaft,
valve, gear, plug and all com
ponent parts in order that the com
plete car might meet specifications. The
power plant itself, welched within three
pounds for the estimate made before it
was nothing more than a design on .pa
per, which indicates the degree to
which science has entered into the
problem of automobile construction.
In other words there was no waste
ful experimental work, no substitution
of makeshift parts or hurriedly de
signed features to lighten the "car's
weight. The motor was placed in the
chassis and within three hours after
the last parts had been installed, the
tanks were filled with gasoline, the
motor started and a twelve-mile test
run was made with the car on its own
power without even a block test. The
car as expressed to New York City and
placevl on private exhibition for a week,
and its first test run was a trip in the
dead of winter from New York City to
Philadelphia, across the Allegheny
mountains to Pittsburgh and back to
Cleveland. The running time for th*t
trip was twentf-six hours and ten min
utes, and although that run wais made
over two years ago, the same car and
motor are still in service with a rec
ord of over aixtv-five thousand miles.
In the construction of a six-cvlin
der motor five things are of para
mount importance. First, the car must

possess sufficient power for all touring
emergencies; aecond, economy of opera
j tion, without •which the six could never
•eompelte successfully with "the four;
third, extreme flexibility, a quality it hat
distinguishes the six above all other
types; fourth, perfect balance and ab
sence of viiboiation, and fifth, absolute
silence of operation.
Our engineers have held those five
Heme 'before them «>t all times in tflie
effort to secure a perfect six and our
tremendous volume of sales in the past
twelve months signifies that we have
at least approached as near tihe zenith
of perfection as is possible under pres
ent conditions. We have made special
progress along tthe lines of economy
and one of the most gratifying records
in our possession is a list of teatimonial
letters from Chandler owners who have
driveu a total distance of over one mil
lion miles at an average of 17y g miles
to the gallon of gasoline.
While the light-weight six of to-day
is ait its "highest point of development
minor improvements will undoubtedly
be added from time'to time, as motor
car makers are united in placing bhe
standard of efficiency at a higher mark
each season. That the great majority
of features as established to-day will
remain standard, however, is proven
by the fact that we have not altered
a single important feature of the Chan
dler Six motor since it was tirrt placed
on the market over two yeare ago.

DETERMINE WORTH OF AUTO
Second Hand Places Apparently a
Factor in Establishing Value
of Machine
There is no better criterion in the
automobile industry To determine the
worth of an automobile than the sec
ond hand places operated by Hebrews
in Philadelphia or New York. 4Tie make
of ctfr that is found in auy quantity in
a second hand automobile establishment
is the one you don't want to buy. Of
course, at some time or other almost
every make of car gets into the pos
session of a second hand dealer but
when you walkthrough any of the large
second hand establishments along Broad
street, Philadelphia, and find a number
of cars of a certain make and of al
most any year, you probably should for
get the reason that the "dealer gives
for the machine being there.
I. C. Price, buyer for the Gorson's
Automobile .Exchange, the largest one
in Philadelphia, bought 4OS second
hand automobiles from different jsarts
of Pennsylvania during 1914. Of this
number, only three were Boes and they
were 1910 models, and he paid for
them twice as much us he would have
paid for any other make of 1910 car.
He stated that he had never been able
to buy a 1912, 13 or 14 Reos, although
he had made repeated efforts because
he considered the Reo and the Ford the
two best sellers that he could get, from
the fact that toe could not get them
and from the fact that the customers
who came to their establishment in
Philadelphia, asked for either Roes 6r
Fords. His explanation was that there
was always some one ready to buy from
the Reo owner his Reo car just as soon
as they heard it was tor sale, th.it the
dealers, throughout the State were a I
ways anxious to trade in both Fords
and Reos and that they found ready
market tor them in tlioir own locality
This certainly speaks well for these
two cars. A pretty good car to own
when you can find ready sale for it
when you want a uew one.—Adv."
ADDITION AT HUDSON AGENCY
Manager I. W. Dill Makes Improve
ments at Garage
I. W. Dill, at the Hudson automobile
agency, has made an addition of two
light delivery trucks of unusual merit
to his already complete line. These
trucks give him a truck of every pur
pose, and one of every type of mechan
ical drive. Having "this line to draw
from, he says, he is uot compelled to
persuade a customer to accept a truck
that is not fitted to his particular
needs. In the General motors. Repub
lic and Bessemer product, he has gear,
shaft, chain and worm drives, each
priced at surprisingly low cost.
The General Motors Co is a unit of
the largest factory in the country and
one that has built nothing but trucks
for the past five years. This company
has recently added to its lines a 1500
shaft-driven, pneumatically tired speed
delivery. The car is fitted with Con
tinental motor, 5-inch demountable
tires, governor on the carburetor, which
controls the speed of both the car and
the chauffeur, and in a general way
embodies every modern idea at the sur
prisingly low price of $1,090 for
chassis. Adv.*

METALLURGY IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN BIG AUTO PLANT
Dodge Brothers' Department, Said to Be
Largest of Kind In Industry, Claims
to Have Both Raw and Finished Ma
terial Subjected to Strenuous Tests
Realizing the importance of an ex
tensive and thoroughly equipped metal
lurgical department, Dodge Brothers
have just completed extensive additions
and changes in this department of their
Detroit plant. P. E. McCleary, and ex
perienced metallurgist, is in charge of
the department, which is said to be the
largest of its kind in the automobile
business.
With an expenditure of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, for raw material
hinging on the decision of the metal
lurgical department, the automobile
manufacturer naturally figures that he
cannot devote too great care to the
selection of men and equipment for
thie branch of the industry. All ma
terials entering into the manufacture of
the car,, including steels, paints, var
nishes, and numerous others, must first
pass the critical test of the physical or
chemical departments. And not until
the metallurgist O. K.'s a particular
brand of material, does the purchasing
agent concern himself in dealing with
the outside manufacturer. At Dodge
Brothers' Detroit factory, the metal
lurgical department is more than a mere
testing laboratory. It serves in a larger
capacity as a "checker-up" on the eu
tire manufacturing process of the big
twenty-four acre plant, and is one of
the greatest aids to efficiency in the
entire organization. This checking-up
is carried out even to the grade of coal
used under the boilers in the power
house. At regular intervals samples of
the coal are sent to the metallurgist for
test. If found wanting in quality, a
report is made and the coal shipper is
soon notified of the shortcomings of his
product.
Throughout the shops various inspec
tors make use of an instrument termed
the scleroscope for testing the hardness
of steel. It consists of a graduated
glass tube containing a steel ball and
the hardness is determined by the height
of the ball's rebound on striking the
surface of the metal. At stated periods
all these instruments are brought to the
metallurgical department and checked
up against a master scleroscope. Be
yond the master scleroscope is still an
other safety measure, the famous Brin
uell machine, made in Sweden, and
acknowledged to he the final authority
in determining hardness. '
While the claim is made that the
chemical and physical laboratories of
Dodge Brothers arc the largest in the
industry, the founders of the business
take a personal pride in the testing
and research work of this department,
and it is probable that they will con
tinue to add to the equipment and fa
cilities of this department as long as
they remain in business.—-Adv.*
