The power Of a car is a good index of
what you are getting for your money; with
in limits, it Is good yard stick to apply 10
the price. Is HIP. car. for instance. usu-
ally costs about 81 800. A 40 HIP car
costs usually $4,000
The construction that carries a high
powered motor must be stronger and better
than one subject TO the lesser strains of low
power. 1t must embody more steel, more
workmanship and more skill
HAYNES prices have never been put up to
the speculative figures of the fad period,
and such comparison as suggested above
reveals their moderation. Most 80 HIP
cars are sold at $4,000 up to $4,000. but the
Haynes model S, 30 H p. costs only $500.
A 45 HIP ear is commonly priced at $1,000
at least, but the HAYNES " Is only $4,000
