They want what they cajl ability. There are too many cars that look alike ana have the same price tag on them. The only thing that separates them is ability. Theres all the difference in the wide world between cars when you look at them this way. So many ask the same question. We never feature price in big type. We dont sell price. We sell a car first; then tell how much it costs that way. But, decided quality, such have of course, we a car of of such extraordinary ability, of such terrific power from an engine that you wonder where it all comes from vell, we just dont know how to talk price when so many other things bob up in our minds. v Now take power..

You have got just about 100 per cent more power than we give her credit for. Of course, lots of cars have great big power. But with most of them' youve got to pay the piper every time you use it. Those big power cars have great big engines mostly, and great big engines have a terrific appetite for gas. You know, I dont need to tell you. This 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers has an engine in her thats got the kick. You step on the accelerator button, and zip! You never saw such spunk. And not only power, but she gets away like a scared horse.

He has to hold a pretty tight rein on her, for it was only last Tuesday night, while Parnell was returning from Lagoon, that she broke the hames and removed a few telephone poles and a Farmington resident's fence. Even after performing this feat she jumped up. and ran into Layton on her own feet, notwithstanding-the fact that she had a broken back, 'two legs gone and various other injuries. Its getting to be the byword around Layton that you cant kill a Dodge car, and especially so if the stories we hear about Chris Weaver and his Dodge are true, and he swears up and down they are. One day he ran out of gas, as we have previously recorded, then drifted down hill some miles, finally picked up some sheep din and soap suds (we hope it didnt give her indigestion) and continued his trip north wardT And only the other day - for- - art he had aeroplane to meet him in the canyon East of Brigham to" carry him up in the hills, and it failed to be there so he calls upon his faithful Dodger 'to adorn wings and fly. As usual she was there, true to her name, and "Dogded" up the hill, through the brush, over the cliffs and reached the camp just as the last bit of sheep dip had dwindled away. - Whatl a 3400 r.p.m. Chalmers at -- BertGreenisnowdriving one word that fully describes the 3400 ' One car is sluggish like a ploughing horse.
