Joly 3, 1989 oo The Only Automobile that fee won Every En- durance Contest held in America is the - - A This car costs $1,800. We make also a Phaeton for 2 passengers at $1,500 and a Runabout for 2 passengers at $1,200. These cars fill all the requirements of pleasure riding or touring, but we have been so often asked why we have not yet offered a “tonneau ” type that we desire to say a word on SURREY vs. TONNEAU Our inquiries for tonneau cars in the winter and spring have been marvelously outstripped by our later orders for the Surrey. This situation is worthy of careful thought on the part of every purchaser of an automobile. THE TONNEAU is dusty in the extreme, and the position of the rear passengers is such that every jolt in the road is intensified, till a good ride involves physical strain and fatigue that robs the outing of pleasure and healthful benefit. The sengers are subject to continual blasts of hot air from the engine in front. The motor itself, while apparently accessible, is so placed between the front wheels that it is reached only in a strained position, and to get at the working parts you must lie on your back or find a pit over which to place the car. Its only advantage—* It’s French.” OUR SURREY, owing to its construction at the back, frees the passengers from dust. Even surreys of other makes do not accomplish this All passengers riding between the front and rear wheels are carried easily as in a cradle, and a hundred-mile trip does not tire the riders. The engine (2 opposed cylinders) is so balanced that vibration is eliminated, and the passengers cannot feel its presence on the car when in motion. // parts, even the crank bearings and pistons, are reached standing upright, with ample elbow room and no intervening obstacles. Our customers report that they can give the ca lordinary care and adjustment “ with their cuffs on. AS TO STYLE, French makers have abandoned the tonneau for next year, and are offering surreys, but they only ally get away from the dust by the higher back to the seats, and while the individual position of the occupant like our surrey, their location in the car still enhances the roughness of the road, and the engine arrange- ments are not improved. THE HAYNES-APPERSON SURREY is therefore in the height of popular style for the future, and the only car at once stylish, dustless, easy riding, accessible, of ample power. It is sold for a price at which you can own two automobiles for the cost of one of the average European models of less efficiency and often poorer con- struction, Isn't that worth looking up?
