Hanes Makes Record
Pleasing to Mcfarland

IN speaking OF the Haynes showing
in the economy contest, George Nc
Farland said
I'm the economy contest on Thanks
giving Day, the light six Haynes, sold
by the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany, covered itself with glory from
stem to stern, even though it did not
win the cup. One car with a passen-
ger load of 951 pounds, equipped for
touring purposes, covered the distance
of Ill miles on exactly five gallons of
gasoline, % 90 miles to the gallon.
The other Haynes, owned and driven
by Andrew McElwain, of NewvilIe,
with a passenger load of not quite as
much, consumed, over the same
course, four gallons, two quarts and
a half pint, averaging "a 1-3 miles to
the gallon.
There was no unusual or eXtraordi-
nary adjustment done or made on
either of these cars or carburetors.
The carburetors were merly adjusted
to get the most efficient mileage out of
the gasoline consumed. The records
of both these cars are more than
gratifying because it is one that can
be made by any owner under the same
conditions at any time and is not q
factory test reported with the car
weighed down to practically nothing.
The roads were in excellent condition
section of Pennsylvania, a 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 contention
of the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany and the Haynes Automobile Com
pany, that their Model 80 light six
Haynes, selling for $1,4S5, is the
easiest siX-cylinder car in the country
on gasoline. When you can get from
twenty to twenty-four miles on a gal
Ion of gasoline with five passengers
it pays the public to buy an automo-
bile of this character.
I'VE acknowledge that the carbur-
etor on the Haynes is of a remarkably
fine type not usually found on a car
of this price, the Rayfield, and that
the Haynes is constructed from ra-
diator to rear axle of the very best
possible material, all of which is in
perfect alignment and bearings
ground to a mecrometer fit. There
isn't any doubt but that the Haynes
is built not just to sell but to make
the owner more enthusiastic than own
ers generally get, and to have his en-
thusiasm increased instead of de-
creased. Many a man is greatly pleas
ed with his car when he gets it, but
has different tune to sing 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
go 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
proven 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 he
make them now, we make them be-
cause the public knows they are cor
rect. We are very well pleased with
the Haynes. We knew what it would
do and it has done it,
