How Haynes Head Was Led to
Produce Americas First Auto
mobile.

1t was not by accident that tlwood
Haynes, president Of the Haynes Automo-
bile Co, Kokomo, Ind, invented Ameri-
cas- first automobile in 1898. Years Of
study and experimentation preceded
the first run Of the car in kokomo, Ind,
July 4, 1894. Most Of MIR. Haynes previ-
ois study and training was such that he
understood, more than most men of his
day, the possibilities and limitations Of
power transmission and development.
1t was in 1891 while he was field super
intendent of natural gas company with
offices in Greentown, Ind. that Mr.. Haync
conceived the idea of building a horseless
carriage His duties led to his travelling
a great deal where there we're no rail-
roads Horses could not be depended
upon because they lacked endurance on
long drives. Bicycles were not practicable
The difficulties encountered IN building
a self-propeled vehicle were seemingly

persistence and thorough education of the
inventor were taxed to the extreme in the
process of building the first successful
American motor car.

TRIPLE CAPACITY.
Year 1917 Was Greatest in History
of Franklin Automobile Co.

To triple the production rate within q
years time has been the task of the
Franklin Automobile Company, Syracuse,
\. Y. 1917 has been the greatest year in
this companys history.
The peak of production was reached
the week OF October when 294 cars were
turned out, an average of almost 81 cars
per day for the 515 working days Of the
week.
August WAS the largest month in the
company's history. when i,133 cars were
shipped In spite of this fas,-growing out
put. il has been impossible any time during
the wear for the Franklin factory to catch
up with orders received During the spring
season, untitled orders equalled ten weeks
production, and rs late as December |, IN
the midst of what is generally considered
the dull season. the orders were still ahead
Of production by eight weeks.
An interesting indication Of the position
which the Franklin car is holding in the
light of war conditions, is shown by the
Jump which marked the period when the
United States entered the war ard when the
nationwide readIustmcnts were being
made Shipments during April MAY,
June, July and August were far ahead of
the total shipments for the entire year OF
1916. The Company's cash receipts for
this period we over 300 per cent greater
