- NEW CHALMERS IS CALLED SENSATION W. L Huffman, Agent in Omaha Declares New Six Model is Cre- ating Enthusiasm All Over, DEALERS CLOSE CONTRACTS ““The new Chalmers six-30," bays W, L. Huffman,” is the one big sensation of the season. Tt has been a long time since any announcement has caused so much enthusiasm among dealers. Our dexlers have been coming In in swarms to ciose contracts for the mew cars and we are more than satisfied with the new arrangement. Our new model Ia open to inspection and we welcome all comers. “Reports are coming in from all parts of the country regarding the new model,™ says Huffman, “and the following In- formation recelved from the Chalmers factory indicates a nation wide en- thusiasm: *“ ‘Manager George Stows of the New | York branch wired that over 400 people | called at the Broadway salesrooms when the first six-30 demonstrator arrived in the city. Fourteen sales were recorded in the first five hours and it has been necessary to keep the salesroom open at night in order to accommodate the many visitors. Mr. Stowe states that the New York allotment of 1,650 cars will | prove entirely inadequate for the next six moaths. “ From Cleveland, J. H. Greenwald, Chalmers dealer, wires the factory that an average of 200 visitors per day for the last week, have filed into his es- tablishment to obtain a gllmpse of the latest Chalmers model. Sixteen sales ‘were made in the first two days. Two hundred people thronged the Boston salesrooms of Harry Pkye and many sales were made. The Standard Motor Car company, Dayton, O., dealers, wired that 400 visitors examined the car on the first day of exhibition in the Ohio city. * “Although there is considerable en- thusiasm regarding the new Chalmers,” says W. L. Huffman, ‘‘there are still numerous Hupmobile buyers and we do not want anyone to think we have neg- Jectad the Hup. We will push it just as hard as ever." G. L. Dingman, Chalmers representa- tive in Sloux City, Ja, 18 In Omaha waiting to drive a new Chalmers home. Bert Murphy returned last Sunday from the Dodge Bros. and Palge factor- fes and reports the factories are work-| ing night and day in order to fill the orders placed for cars. The Palge fac- tory has doubled its capacity and has already started work in its mew bulld- ings. Harry Lauder Rides In Saxon Decorated In Plaid Colors Harry Lauder’s return to New York re- centiy from across the water was an auspiclous event, and a Saxon “Six" touring car, peinted in a Scotch plald effect, helped to make it so. Upon his arrival in Gotham, Mr. Lauder was met by a band of Scotch Kilties and the unique Saxon car. After the recep- tion to him and Mrs. Lauder at the pler, he piled into the machine and was es- corted by the Scotch delegation across town, thence up and down Fifth avenue and Broadway. It is estimated that 160,000 people wit- messed the paradé along New York's two most popular thoroughfares. Lauder sald he was more impressed, however, with the ride than with the size of the cheer- ing crowds, and, after it was all over, he sat down and penned the following: “I could say much in favor o' the Saxon car, but brevity is the msoul o' wit. Ye have in the S8axon car something to suit the folk. It is really a grand article— runs as steady end sound as a rock.’ I'HE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DEOEMBLic o, 190 Excellent Roads on Four Fine Iowa Trails ATLANTIC i" | We| | | \ | 'rips mapped out | by the Omaha A ;g To ATLANTIC o tomobile club for <3 T - (3 the use of its mem Oa [ < 1. 0.
