  entered 
  his 
  car 
  in 
  the 
  Chicago 
  auto 
  race 
  of 
  1895 
  and 
  drove 
  it 
  there 
  

   for 
  the 
  meet. 
  Though 
  he 
  did 
  not 
  win 
  the 
  race 
  he 
  did 
  get 
  a 
  prize 
  of 
  

   $150 
  for 
  having 
  the 
  best-balanced 
  motor 
  of 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  machines 
  

   there. 
  In 
  1898 
  he 
  organized 
  the 
  Haynes-Apperson 
  Automobile 
  Go., 
  

   and 
  built 
  50 
  cars 
  that 
  year 
  in 
  spite 
  of 
  the 
  warnings 
  of 
  advisors 
  that 
  

   the 
  horseless 
  carriage 
  was 
  only 
  a 
  plaything 
  for 
  the 
  wealthy. 
  After 
  

   four 
  years 
  as 
  president 
  of 
  this 
  company 
  he 
  became 
  president 
  of 
  the 
  

   Haynes 
  Automobile 
  Co., 
  serving 
  in 
  this 
  capacity 
  for 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  

   years 
  but 
  eventually 
  retiring 
  to 
  resume 
  his 
  work 
  in 
  metallurgy. 
  In 
  

   this 
  field 
  he 
  continued 
  actively 
  until 
  his 
  death 
  in 
  1926. 
  Even 
  when 
  

   president 
  of 
  the 
  automobile 
  company, 
  Haynes 
  gave 
  his 
  main 
  atten- 
  

   tion 
  to 
  the 
  metallurgical 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  industry. 
  He 
  was 
  a 
  pioneer 
  in 
  

   the 
  introduction 
  of 
  nickel, 
  steel, 
  and 
  alimiinum 
  in 
  engine 
  construction 
  

   and 
  also 
  was 
  much 
  interested 
  in 
  the 
  improvement 
  of 
  the 
  carburetor. 
  

   For 
  upwards 
  of 
  16 
  years 
  Haynes 
  cherished 
  his 
  first 
  horseless 
  car- 
  

   riage 
  but 
  in 
  1910 
  he 
  reluctantly 
  parted 
  with 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  National 
  Mu- 
  

   seum 
  where 
  it 
  now 
  stands 
  second 
  in 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  America's 
  pioneer 
  

   automobiles, 
  

  

  SUMMARY 
  

  

  Approximately 
  2,000 
  years 
  elapsed 
  between 
  the 
  time 
  that 
  steam 
  was 
  

   first 
  brought 
  to 
  man's 
  attention 
  by 
  the 
  philosopher, 
  Hero, 
  and 
  the 
  

   time 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  put 
  to 
  practical 
  use. 
  Then 
  began 
  the 
  industrial 
  rev- 
  

   olution 
  and 
  in 
  one-tenth 
  of 
  the 
  time 
  since, 
  the 
  world 
  has 
  reached 
  its 
  

   present 
  high 
  plane 
  of 
  mechanical 
  civilization. 
  In 
  England, 
  the 
  

   economic 
  necessity 
  of 
  removing 
  water 
  from 
  her 
  coal 
  mines 
  stimulated 
  

   inventive 
  action, 
  while 
  the 
  need 
  of 
  better 
  transportation 
  facilities 
  to 
  

   hold 
  together 
  a 
  vast 
  territory 
  to 
  be, 
  was 
  the 
  spur 
  in 
  America. 
  

  

  To-day 
  two-fifths 
  of 
  the 
  railroad 
  plants 
  in 
  the 
  world 
  are 
  within 
  

   the 
  boundaries 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  four-fifths 
  of 
  the 
  world's 
  

   motor 
  cars 
  — 
  facts 
  which 
  indicate 
  the 
  vast 
  extent 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  people 
  

   of 
  America 
  use 
  transportation.
