The third Pullman light six'' tour
ing car to be sCld at the show by
w. P. Barnhart & Co, was sect red by
l. II. Buchanan. The machine has
wire wheels and is one of the most
striking cars in. the show.
Mechanical refinements are the real
improvements to be found on the
Haynes Automobile Companys latest
CreatiOn, a SeVen-paSsenger limousine
according to T. oliver Probey, who is
exhibiting one of the machines. Motor
car users are now demanding cars de
signed for comfort and convenience, in
addition to be easy of control. II is for
this reason that the Haynes company
has adopted the Vulcan electric gear
shift which is part of the equipment Of
all Haynes models.
