MAY BE OLDEST AUTO.
Prize Likely to Be Given to Haynes
1897 TWo.CYlinder Car.

In all probability the Haynes Light
Twelve" car, offered for the Oldest
Haynes car that is running in America
at the present time. will be awarded to
Walter E. Smith, Bound Brook. n. j.,
who has an old two-cylinder car that
was built in 1897. The car is in opera
ton today. and this spring won a prize
as the Oldest car in a county contest
Its nearest competitor was 1902 two
cylinder.
The old automobile weighs 1850
pounds. and originally cost $1,000. It
Is a surrey that provides ample room
for four passengers, and Is steered by
a lever. The car today makes from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour over
good roads.
Compared to the high-speed multiple
cylinder motors Of the present day, the
old two-cylinder engine presents a
strong contrast Each cylinder has a
carburetor and dry battery of its own.
The engine has a ive-inch bore and a
61A-inch stroke, and is rated at fifteen
horsepower.
The Bound Brook car was built
shortly after the Haynes company be-
gan building two-cylinder models in
1897 With the exception OF three one
cylinder cars that Elwood Haynes built
himself, and have since been lost trace
OF, this car stands, according to pres
ent records. as the patriarch of the old
Haynes cars in America.

piloted his car over roads that seemed
almost impossible.
He started from Detroit on his tour
last December. The start was made in
snowstorm on the 21st of that month

days ago he carried two of the original

Who La the Rosa7

The superintendent of big depart
ment store in Boston conducts a school
Of salesmanship in his establishment,
and one of the first questions he puts
to his class of beginners Is: "Who is
the bOss?" \
After salesman pupils have guessed
every official about the establishment,
the superintendent explains. mo, NO,
no; he is not the boss. The real boss
in this store is the customer. It's the
customer that you and ] are here to
please. It's the customer who pays
your wages and mine. Now, If you are
sitting behind your counter. doing
nothing, and you see me coming, don't
jump up; but If you see the customer
the boss-coming, jump! That al
ways makes deep impression"
