What you’re looking at

This page contains a **"Historical Puzzle"**—a trivia quiz on British and European history presented as entertainment. The questions reference famous historical figures and events: King John and Magna Carta, Richard III at Bosworth Field, Robin Hood, and various European monarchs and courtiers. This format was typical of early 20th-century educational amusement. The page is dominated by **advertisements**: a National Sportsman magazine ad promoting outdoor recreation, and a large Haynes Automobile Company advertisement. The car ad targets two wealthy buyer classes—those who could afford luxury vehicles multiple times over, and those seeking economical quality. The $2,000 price point and emphasis on "reputation" and "proven merit" position the Haynes as aspirational. A small "Hello, Brother!" advertisement for National Sportsman also appears, using casual fraternity language to appeal to male readers interested in hunting and fishing. The overall page reflects 1910s magazine culture: mixing intellectual pursuits with consumer goods advertising targeting affluent, educated readers.

We There are two classes of buyers who prefer The Superb Haynes To each of these classes this unusual car at $2000 ts an ideal car. You probably belong to one a) these classes. The first class is represented by those who could easily pay two or three times two thousand dollars, and who are only concerned in getting a car of reputation, proven merit and refinement. The Haynes gives to such buyers everything they could expect to get if they were asked to pay an exorbitant price for the famous Haynes name. The other class of buyers are those who prefer to pay less than two thousand dollars, but who insist upon economy of operation and recognize the big saving involved in buying a car built as the Haynes is known to be built. To such buyers the purchase of a Haynes is a hard-headed, long-headed busi- ness deal —a purchase for the future as well as for the present. The Haynes Model 20 for 1911 is a car of beautiful lines, an abundance of power (35-40 H. P.), 114-inch wheel base, and plenty of tonneau room. The price of $2000 includes complete equipment, of the best grade obtainable. For example, a big Type B Prest-o-lite tank is furnished instead of the customary small size, and the famous Warner Auto-Meter is put on every car. (Only a speed indicator of this quality is entitled to be used on a Haynes.) ,_ In addition to this Model 20, we will also build for t911 a limited number of big seven-passenger cars of 50-60 horsepower for those who prefer a car of this size. Ask for literature regarding these cars before you commit yourself to any other make.
