The popularity of the Haynes J.lnht Six, the 191 ear, haa been the immediate cause of placing the Haynes company at the head of the Indiana manufacturers. . "The progressive automobile manufac turer has tome to realize that tlio per manency of his business ilnponds upon the service that the particular car gives, and the service given the owner. The auto mobile owner is entltiid to more atten tion from the producer since he haa a big. ger Investment at stake than have ths customers of many other Industries. "Few people who drive a machine have bad the necessary training to understand the exact working principles of a gas en gine and It Is the duty of the manufac turer to explain the best means of oper ating the car so that the owner may re ceive the greatest returns for his money. Service to tne owner n ust also extend to the replacement of parts on the older cars. It requires considerable capital to carry the complete ato?k of parts for all cars that have been built, but thla extra capital yl-ilds good murus lu maintain ing satisfaction." ttOfr The superiority of Rauch & Lang body con- wtl YA struction is readily apparent, even to the wit VtfA if ii The superiority of Ranch & Lang body con struction is readily apparent, evtn .to the novice.
