Gazette-News Advertising Pays. Chalmers the To All Automobile Buyers: I have just returned from the New York Automobile Show the biggest and best Motor Car exhibtion ever held iu America. Seventy-six different makes of cars were shown there and I studied every one carefully. There was nothing at the New York Show to compnre with the Chalmers Mas ter "Six." This is not my opinion alone, but also the decision of the public. No other exhibit drew such crowds; no cars attracted so many buyers as the Chalmors. Simply because everyone could see that the Chalmers Master "Six", Is In a class by Itself. After seeing everything, and making compari sons with even the highest priced, I knew the Mas , ter "Hlit" wns not equalled for beauty by any car at any price. There wasn't a car shown In New York with such a clean and graceful streamline body as the Chalmers. I saw a lot of Imitations of Chnl mtrs molded ovalfendera but nothing that even approached thorn In good looks. I wish you might have been there to see all makes of cars side by side. I know you would sgree with me that, ths Master "Six" Is the handsomest car on the market. Mechanically, It was the wonder of the New York exhibit. The Master "Six" chassis was con tinually surrounded, not only by customers but at no by engineers from other companies. In all ths Asheville Automobile Co. My Hair Pretty Tills monogram on the radiator stands for all you can ask In a motor car was the Master Car at New York Show And on nil sides cleanest chassis DON'T WAIT SENT) 10 CENTS FOR SAMPLE AND BOOKLET TODAY THE HERPICIDE CO. Dept. 83-B Windsor, Ont.: Please find enclosed 10 cents for which send me sample bot tlo of Newbro's Herpicide, also a booklet on the care of the hair. Name ,. Address City i. State ........ time I was In New York I did not hear a single ad verse criticism on the Chjilmers chassis not one. I heard people saying: "It's In the Show." the The Chalmers-Entx electric starter was posi tively a sensation. Even Chalmers' competitors said Its silence, simplicity and power beat anything In the Show. . . If I heard one, I heard a hundred people who had studied every car say the Master "Six" Is moro real automobile forthe money thnn ever was built either In this country or abroad. This wasn't all talk either. 'The sales of ths ' Master "Blx" during the Show were ahead of any other New York exhibition. I never saw anything to equal It. It's this big evident superiority over everything on ths market that has enabled me to beat all local salts records with the Master "Six." Right In this territory, men, who havs never owned any but the highest priced car have told me ths Chalmers "Six" Is the most wonderful and the best designed csr In America today. Anil they havs backed their opinion ' ly buying the Chalmers, That's a pretty strong claim, ltut I know It; ' nnd everybody who was at ths New York Show knows It. - So I want you to come In and let me show you this wonderful Master "Blx." You can Judge for yourself If what I've told you Isn't true.. I'll put It up to ths car to prove what I've claimed, for Just as sure as fate. If you ones see ths Master "Six" and ride In It, you'll be Just as enthusiastic as I am. Just call or 'phone as soon ss convenient,- ' ' E. C. SAWYER.
