which for generosity, enter
prise and a whole-souled de
sire to meet our thousands
of friends and customers
more than half way has nev

section of tiie country. Con

bigness, planned on a gener

Lyon . & Taylor joint con

Henry & Carr, F. L.
Lilly, 0. E. Silverthorne and
A. V. Andrews herewith an
nounced. Not only will there be, as

mobile, but as a second prize

on the purchase price of an
other Mclntyre five passen
ger Model P. P. '12 car.
There will also be other les

The First Prize.
' The Mclntyre Automo
bile is a car which any
one might well be proud of.
"Built for Service" is the
phrase which most neany
covers the many and great
advantages of this machine:
All of the latest features
and devices approved by the
most up-to-date automobila
practice are embodied in its
makeup. Witness its fore
doors, center control, self
starter, etc. All the most
up-to-date features are in
cluded, but there is not an
experiment abput the car.
The workmanship and qual
ity of material used in the
Mclntyre are absolutely the
best to be purchased. Back
ed by 40 years experience as
ene of the largest manufac
turers of horse drawn ve
hicles in the United States
and with their established
reputation for quality to
maintain, there is no ques
tion as to the worth of this
splendid automobile manu
factured by the W. IL Mc
lntyre Co., of Auburn, Ind.
f Notice the long wheel base
of 114 inches; long enough
to insure easy riding, yet not
so long as to prove cumber
some in narrow country
roads or in crowded city
streets. Power to meet any
and every demand is insur
ed by the big 4x5 T Head
Motor. This long stroke mo
tor will take the hills and
sand with a rush that will
bring a glow of satisfaction
to the cheek of the fortunate
possessor. While speed was
- uofc the primary intention of
the builder, the Mcuityro
et has speed in plenty. The
diver of this car never has
to sit back in the dust for a
speed of from five to fifty
miles an hour on dircH drive
is at his command at all
The Second Pni9.
As announced above, the
second prize is an $S0() pur-.
chasing certificate to apply
on p Model P. P. Mclntyre
12 touring car. This pur-r-nasing
certificate may be
applied on a car with top,
windshield and speedometer
at $1650. These are the re
tail prices of the Model F.
P. '12 and consequently the'
winning of this prize will en
able someone to obtain a
splendid automobile at . a
very low figure indeed.
Competition Will Be Keen.
