This advertisement promotes the Model N touring car from the Wayne Automobile Company, a manufacturer based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Its sales pitch reflects the early twentieth century, when automobiles were shifting from expensive novelties toward products that middle-class families could buy. Touring cars, with their open bodies and folding tops, were popular for family drives and country travel. Ads like this one show how carmakers tried to persuade buyers of a vehicle's style, comfort, and reliability before roads and service networks had caught up.
