All About Self Starters.
Not since the introduction OF six
cylinder models has there been such
activity In tina automobile industry,
as ct the present time. Is occupying
the attention OF the manufacturers.
The subject il self starters.
II seems natural that the pioneer
builder, who completed the first gas
oline pleasure vehicle in this country
should be the first to adopt the type
Of starter which is backed by the best
engineering knowledge and demanded
by the motor-w1se public.
For . year the Haynes Automobile
company has been quietly experiment.
ing and rigidly testing every form OF
self-starter. Very early. in the pro-
cess Of elimination they had the wis
dom to SEQ that the electric starter
was the only logical one to use FOL
the conditions demanded.
In proof Or which the following is
quoted from q recent automobile
| journal which is known to be in close
touch with the industry:
Although scarcely two months old,
the 1913 season has witnessed sew

the buying public. Some leading con-

aiming at fashioning their own
