Fe * * If just a word of advice to automobile buyers may be permitted, let us say — Be careful and buy the right car at the start. Too many people have graduated_up from the cheap car to the car they should have bought in the first place — and by so doing they have lost nearly double the price of the car on the sale of the cheaper cars. We haven't built a car to sell around $1500.00 because the kind of construction, material and power plant that we are willing to put out under the name of HAYNES cannot be made and sold at a profit for that sum of money. But to pay more than $2000.00 is unnecessary. This our Model 19 will prove to anyone who examines it. It is just the car you'll be delighted toown. It has style — snap — beauty of line — elegance of finish — is extremely comfortable and easy riding — and is as mechanically perfect as any machine on the market — no matter what the price ; has ample power, and goes faster than most people care to ride. We want to send you particulars about this car. We want you to examine our proposition before you buy a car of any kind. We will tell you where you can see the Haynes Model 19 and have it demonstrated. If you are looking -for the right car at the right price, accept our invitation and write for particulars of this wonderful machine.
