Warren, Chm., State Dem . Ex. Com. J. R. Collie, Sec'y. BURBANK OUT FOR WILSON, "THE GREATEST STATESMAN" Announcing his support of Presi dent Wilson, Luther Burbank, the hor ticulturist wizard of California, said: "I believe him to be the greatest statesman we have ever had." Mr. Burbank, the Edison of scien tific horticulture, declared that with out reserve he endorsed the position announced a week earlier by Thomas A. Edison. Both Burbank and Edison glMltMAvl.vi.w.w.ll,jliMiAMJ.-JlWllAimi.Willfc have been life-long. Republicans. Edi son put it this waj: "Times are too serious to talk In terms of Republicanism or Democracy. When it's America that is at stake men have got to vote as Americans. A foo! or a coward would have had the United States In all sorts of trouble. As it is, we are at peace, the country was never more prosper ous, and we have the strength that comes with honor and integrity ox purpose." L Quality First After Nov. 30, it will cost you just $70 more to buy a 7-22 Chalmers. But the price on the 5-passenger 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers re mains (for the time Being) $1090 Detroit Until midnight of Nov. 30 you can get a 7-22 Chalmers for $1280 Detroit a car of rare ability, fascinating in body equipment, and, like a beautiful woman, of exquisite charm. ' " y After that date the price becomes J81350 Detroit $70 more. The $70 is just a few dollars less than the increase in cost of manufacture of this car since its appearance in June. To those who have longed for the 5-passenger 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers and have not yet possessed one, just a w ord of warning: the price remains unchanged just now $1090 Detroit; we do not know how long this low price will continue. We reserve the right to increase the price without notice. Ocuy:those who are buying materials such as go into high-grade automobiles can begin to realize the steady, upward treild of the materials market. , Just one condition today prevents a rise in price of the 5-passenger 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers -the fact that these cars are being made on a factory "work order" dating back several months. i Since the "work order" went through materials have jumped in cost again. When the current "work order" is completed and if materials remain at their present level or rise higher., only one course will be, possible, an increased price. Those who have been driving Chalmers cars know how diligent has been the Chalmers effort to set down cars of the quality kind. They will understand how impossible it would be for Chalmers to dodge the increase-in-materials issue and maintain the prevailing price on the 7-22 Chalmers. Lower the quality of the Chalmers car? Never. The Chalmers men take great pride, not only in the money the car mukes or them, but iu the car itself. And pride, as everyone knows, is a thing that can never be compromised. It would be like Tissot trying to paint a picture to fit a price. As long as there's a name "Chalmers", there will be a quality car, and .as long as there's a quality car there'll be a price ftednot by the Sales Department but by cost accountants. And there'll be a fair deal. Chalmers soys these two 3400 r.p.m. models will be continued into next season You can bank on that. So that a Chalmers car you might buy now will be exactly like the oue you would buy next spring. Remember the $70 you cau save notf by anticipating the rise in price There's an old Scotch proverb that says "A dollar saved Is a dollar earned". $70 buys a . good suit of clothes, a good pair of shoes, a good bat and some good gloves Also it just about pays your dues at the club for a year. - Or, if it's a 5-passenger 3400 r.p.m. Chalmers you want, our advice is to get We are not sure the price Is going up and we are no guj9 that it isn't If E.
