THE IICHT-SIX Haynes IN
THE Recent ECONOMY RUN
Popular Automobile Covers Itself With
Glory Even Though It Did Not Win
Cup in the Thanksgiving Day
Contest -

In the Economy Contest on Thanks
giving Day, the "Light Six' Haynes,
| sold by the Harrisburg Automobile
Company, covered itself with glory
from stem to stern, even though it did
not win the cup. One car with pas
senger load of 951 pounds equipped for
touring purposes covered the distance
of Ill miles on exactly FIVE gallons of
gasoline, 30 2-5 miles to the gallon.
The other Haynes owned and driven by
Andrew McElwain, of Newville, with a
passenger load Of not quite as much,
gallons, two quarts and one-half pint,
faveraging "a 1-3 miles to the gallon.
There was no unusual or extraordinary
adjustment done or made on either of
these cars or carburetors. The carbu-
retors were merely adjusted to get the
most efficient mileage out of the gaso-
line consumed. The records of both
these cars are more than gratifying be-
cause it is one that can be made by
any owner under the same conditions
at any time and is not a factory test
reported with the car weighed down to
practically nothing. The roads we're in
| elegant condition and of the average
kind found in this section of Pennsyl-
vania, goodly sprinkling Of hills and
one small mountain to crawl. The rate
of speed was about twenty miles an
hour, the safe and sane touring speed.
The test demonstrates that the con
tention of the Harrisburg Automobile
Company and the Haynes Automobile
Company, that their Model 80 "Lght
Six' Haynes selling for 81, 1,4s5, is the
easiest six-cylinder car in the country
ON gasoline When you can get from
twenty to twenty four miles on gal
lon of gasoline with five passengers, it
pays the public to buy an automobile
of this character. We acknowledge
that the carburetor on the Haynes is
of remarkably fine type, not usually
found on ear of this price, the Ray
field, and that the Haynes is construct
ed from radiator to rear axle of the
very best possible material, all of which
is in perfect alignment and bearings
ground to a mecrometer fit. There ism t
any doubt but that the Haynes is built
not just to sell but to make the own
er more enthusiastic than owners gem
orally get and to have his enthusiasm
increased instead of decreased.
Many man is greatly pleased with
his car when he gets it but has diff
ferent tune to sign six or nine months
after he has owned it. 1t is not that
way with the Haynes. The longer the
customers have Haynes cars the better
pleased they are. Our contention that
the Haynes is the best and lightest six
cylinder car made at the present time,
that it will 60 up any hill faster at
high gear, faster at second gear, faster
at low gear, also slower at high gear
and that it will go farther on a gallon
of gasoline than any other six-cylinder
car of any weight made, has been prov
en- under expert and mechanical tests
by the Economy Run just finished.
When we made these statements some
time ago we made them because we
knew they were correct. When we
make them now, we make them because
the public know they are correct. We
are very well pleased with the Haynes.
We knew what it would do and it has
done it.
