Public Demands
Responsive Motor,
Says Se:berling

The public today demands a
motor with quick acceleration; a
motor that will respond instantly to
the touch of the accelerator," states
Alton @. Seiberling, vice president
and general manager of the Haynes
Automobile Company. The traffic
regulations of our country require
motorists to move quickly with the
signal of the semaphore. In order
for an automobile to do this the
motor must be highly perfected.
After all an automobile manu-
facturer's chief duty is to produce
exactly what suits and nils the
needs Of the motor-buying public
when their demands represent
what Is necessary for complete mo-
tor car service" concluded Mr..
Seiberling.
