Automobile Notes

KOKOMO, Ind, June 15.-The auto
mobile industry will reach the quarter
century mark Of its growth on July 4.
What Is now Americas third greatest
industry dates from the invention of
the hrst successful American automo-
bile by Elwood Haynes in 1893.
Special significance is attached to
the celebration Of the event on the
country's birthday by the important
contributions of the automobile world
to the reat war. Aeroplanes, trucks
and tanks, as we'll as passenger cars,
are rendering important service in
helping win the war. And, without
exception, they have been made pos
sible through the invention of the au-
tomobile and the development of gas
oline engines brought about by the
advance of automobile engineering.
AS monument to the inventor and
the great step in improved transpor-
tation he provided, the United States
Government has on exhibition in the
Smithsonian Institution, Washington,
d. c., the first American motor car.
The idea of a "horseless" convey
ance was conceived while Mr.. Haynes
was the superintendent Of gas COM
pany at Greentown, Ind. He was a
scientist and inventor of some note
at that time, having been particularly
successful In original research work
at Worcester Polytechnic Institute,
Worcester, Mass, and at Johns Hop
kins University. AS the result of his
studies, Mr.. Haynes bought a two
cycle marine engine and began the
construction of the first motor car by
adapting the engine for use on the
road.
The initial run on July 4, 1894, was
the elimination of long series of
tests and experiments by Mr.. Haynes,
dating back even farther than 1898.
The first car travelled thirty-two miles
on a gallon of gasoline. 1t moved
slowly, averaging between six and
seven miles an hour.
The first run proved to be the most
important step in the improvement
Of transportation since the invention
of the steam engine.
The first car was complete in all
essential details. 1t had wire wheels,
cushion tires, carburetor and a muf-
fer, the last two being invented by
Mr.. Haynes. 1t had two speeds for
ward and as many reverse.
Reputation carries weight with wise
buyers.
Such buyers recognize that reputa-
ton is not to be built over night-or
in single year. Only the demonstra-
tion of unquestioned superior worth
throughout a decade or more, can
build the repute of a name to a point
where it both guarantees, and adds
to, satisfaction Of ownership.
Oldsmobile reputation reflects the
respect and goodwill in which cars
that bear the name have always been
held by those most competent to
judge-their owners. For twenty
