CHANDLER S I X
Famous For Its Marvelous Motor
Chandler Leads Because of
Its Real Worth
IT is easy to boast and make claims and to so magnify mere
incidents that they may appear as mighty events. It is easy
to paint in the colors of exaggeration.
Chandler advertising has never carried boasts or unfounded
assertions to the public. It has never extolled some single per
formance as final evidence of superiority.
The Chandler Six is so distinctly the leader among medium
priced high-grade cars because of its own worthiness, which for
sales purposes does not need the support of exaggeration.
Chandler worthiness conies primarily, of course, from its
great chassis, light, strong and enduring, featured by the
famous Chandler motor developed throughout seven years of
constant manufacture with 110 change of type of design, but
with refinements and developments which.,have kept it lonft
strides ahead of any other six.
This isn't a claim. It's a fact, and over sixty thousand
Chandler owners would tell you so if you could ask them.
Six handsome bodies, splendidly built and finished, are
mounted on the one standard Chandler chassis.
Other cars of some similarity are
listed at hundreds of dollars more
