Haynes automobiles were built in Kokomo, Indiana, and this advertisement, headlined "It Pays to Own a Haynes," appeals to buyers with a plain promise of value rather than speed or luxury. Elwood Haynes, an inventor who helped push early American automobile development, founded the company, and his cars were among the first gasoline-powered vehicles sold in the country. Advertisements of this kind show how early motorists were being courted: makers had to convince a skeptical public that a costly, unfamiliar machine was a sound investment. Look closely at the wording, which reflects the careful, practical tone that carmakers adopted in the years before mass production changed the industry.
