There's 117 inches of wheel-base in a .Mot Spot Chalmers and every inch denotes high efficiency. Radiator to rear axle, it indicates perfect design, su ' perior material, rare skill ill ? workmanship, ? and an atten tion to detail that lifts it far above competition in price. Service department re cords prove this high effi ciency in a Chalmers- by figures; it averages in cost to owners less than one per cent per year of the list price of the car for repair parts. As a matter of fact once an owner's license plate is bolted on the Hot Spot Chalmers the car seldom re turns for service. Give it gas, oil, " grease, water, and fair treatment and it'll respond like the fine "creature of steel" it is. Price, 51685 f. o. b. Detroit GEO. T. LITTLE, Camden, S. G.
