Eighth year Of continued growth"

the company and the beginning Of an
other that allows the change in word
Ing Of the Empire keyline.
"The seventh year was the best in
our company's history and was
marked by many advances that have
been of the utmost value to US" says
II. J. Horwitz, general manager OF the
Empire. AT the beginning Of the
wear we transferred our manufactur-
sng activities to indianapolis. The in
creased facilities afforded and the
conveniencesl of having sales and pro-
auction departments united has been
of inesdmable value 10 US. Our pro-
duction has been larger than in any
previous year, and naturally our sales
vastly increased.

Haynes CONTINUES TO
MANUFACTURE LIGHT SIX

For two and half years the Haynes
Automobile Company has continued
the manufacture Of its Light Six"
car. During this period, the body and
the motor have not been changed with
the exception OF few details Of ap-
pontment and minor improvements
in mechanical equipment. At the same
time, while the floor space of the
Haynes factory has been more than
doubled, production has never been
able to catch up with the demand.
On the advent OF the Light Six" to
the motor car market two years ago,
the new engine marked progress over
the heavier types that had preceded
Il. In valve design and the tightening
Of moving parts. The latter improve
ment. which was made possible by re-
duclng the bore OF the cylinders, ena-
bled automobile engineers to apply a
large number of smaller power inn
pacts to the crankshaft in place Of a
few heavy impulses. The result was
a smooth running high speed motor
with a wide range Of power.
