In the early spring, OCTOBER IS MOST DANGEROUS HIGHWAYS is not present to spur him on to “take a chance.” That little ride after supper which used to be completed in daylight in June and July, now takes the wife and kiddies well into the darkness, nd makes October a pronounced month of night driving.

He is Joath to give up the pleasures to which he has been accustomed during the balmier months, and @ bright Octo- her day proves a great temptation, But, he forgets that in Autumn and especially in the Wyoming autumn, the forces of Nature are as apt to work against him as they are to work in his favor, and as a result he is unprepared for adverse weath- er conditions, and is\very Mable to ome to grief as the result of a sud- den rain, snow, or hail storm. Throughout the warm summer, the highways of Wyoming have been subjected to continuous travel.

In addition to a new type of combustion chamber that burns all the gas and a new way of dis- tributing the gas equally to all cylinders —which helps to explain why you get better than 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline—there are numerous engineer- ing advances bearing on economy. De- structive vibration has been eliminated and the engine is protected also by the oil-filter and the air-cleaner—all of which means longer life and lower mainte- nance costs. Special design six-ply, high- speed balloon tires are standard. as thou spelled, Crysler Driving and riding in the Chrysler Six is an absolutely new experience, own- ers will tell you. It is not alone amaz ing power, speed and dash from an engine only 3-inch bore by 44-inch stroke that arouse their wonder, or the economy by which these results are obtained. They are tremendously impressed with the riding and driving qualities for they find the Chrysler Six, by reason of unusually low center of gravity, perfect weight distribution, a new prac- tice of spring suspension and other engineering advances, holds the road as securely as a two-ton car. They find that it takes a turn at 50 miles an hour with perfect safety and without side-sway; and, thanks to its remarkable driving and riding quali- ties, they can ride all day without fatigue. Try the Chrysler Six. Drive it at all speeds over all kinds of roads and ex- perience these things for yourself. We are please to extend the con- ver ce of tine-payments.
