Brinkerhoff “Hill climb, an annual event won here by a Jewett Six, this! year attracted many of the most fa- mous automobile drivers in the United States with specially built motor cars, The “Try to Pass, It on a Hiil"’| slogan of the Patige-Detroit Motor Car company for its Jewett Six was given added impetus among dealers by the performance of their car. The hill climb was under the auspices of| the Syracuse Automobile club. The| fastest time on the hill was made by Edward Bachle in a Jewett Six. Bachle not only defeated all drivers but set a new mark for the mile and four-tenths hill of one minute, thirty- one and three-fifths seconds. The former time was one minute thirty- two and two-fifths seconds made in| 1122 by an eight cylinder car selling| at about $3,000.

De Performance Superiority now Officially attested Y a spectacular exhibition on the test road up Mt. Diablo, the new Chandler has now established offici- ally and permanently the performance superiority of the Pikes Peak Motor Towering peak of the California coast ranges, Mt. Diablo is scaled by a road so tortuously steep that no stock car is ever expected to reach its summit in high gear. On its difficulties of grade are based two of the most coveted automobile trophies of the Pacific Coast: the Oakland Tribune Tro- phy which is offered to the motor car reaching the highest point in high gear; and the AlexanderChal- lenge Cup for sixes exclusively. Now—for the first time since they were offered —a six cylinder ay car is in possession of both cups! For a stock Chandler, with standard gear ratio, recently cap- tured not only the Alexander Cup with consummate ease; but in a magnificent sweep of smooth, un- labored power passed the highest point previously reached by any motor car in high gear! No other six in the Chandler class offers an equally impressive combination of masterly perform- ance, beauty, comfort, economy and long life.
