Sign from Chalmers Motor Company, 1911 Chalmers factory tour for Carl H. Page & Company representatives

View of sign from Chalmers Motor Company regarding Carl H. Page & Company visit during the 1911 Chalmers factory tour for representatives of the Carl H. Page & Company held in Detroit, Michigan. Sign reads: "Flags are raised over the factory today in honor of the visit of the executives, department heads, salesmen and subdealers of Carl H. Page & Company. Chalmers Motor Company looks upon it as a compliment of peculiar force that Mr. Page should bring so many members of his organization to the factory at this time for the purpose of studying our 1912 line and of seeing for themselves how Chalmers cars are made. For three years, Carl H. Page & Company has handled Chalmers cars exclusively and has sold more of them each year than any other dealer. Furthermore, the Page organization, working in the automobile field where competiton is keener than anywhere else in the world -- New York City -- has sold more Chalmers cars than any other organization handling medium priced cars has sold of any other make. As goes New York so goes the country. New York's stamp of approval makes a product standard and popular everywhere. Hence we ask all members of the Chalmers organization to make our guests from New York feel that we appreciate their cooperation, that we are glad to have them with us, and that we wish them still bigger successes in the future. Chalmers Motor Company, June 23, 1911." Stamped on back: "Spooner & Wells, Inc., photographers, 1231 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Mich., telephone North 1745."
