I am so confident that the Olds Engine is the most economical and 
most durable engine you can buy that I will make this proposition to 
every buyer of an Olds Engine : 
I agree to replace, free of charge, any part of an Olds 
Engine that breaks, or becomes worn, from any cause 
whatsoever, within one year from date of shipment, pro¬ 
vided the replacement is one you think should be borne by 
the manufacturer. You are to be the only judge. There 
is. to be no argument, no delay in returning old parts and 
getting new ones. You decide, and I abide by your decision. 
Do you think this proposition could be made on any engine but a practically 
perfect one? You can easily see that, to stand this extreme test of durability and 
perfect workmanship, it must be built right, of the very best material, of the 
simplest construction. This is the kind of an engine you want. You take no 
chances in buying an Olds. 
All of my representatives can furnish these repairs without any delay. They 
do not have to consult me. Write to my nearest agent. He can fix you out with 
the best engine you can buy, no matter what others cost. 
Olds engines 
Give You the Power 
You Need 
At the Price You Can Afford to Pay For It. 
They give you the power you need at the pripe 
you can afford to pay for it. They are the cheapest 
engine you can buy—simple in construction, most 
economical to run, do not get out of order, easy to 
start winter or summer—a ten-year-old boy can run 
the Olds Engine just as well as a man. 
Thousands of farmers have found out the 
superiority of the Ofds over all other engines. The 
United States Government must have found it out 
also because they buy Olds Engines for their mili¬ 
tary institutions,forestry and irrigation departments. 
Uncle Sam thoroughly investigates everything he 
buys. The Olds Engines stood the government test 
just as they will stand every other test. 
For thirty years we have made nothing but 
Olds Engines. We know the engine business just 
as you know your sitting room. Our business has 
steadily increased during that time. What made it ? 
Why, because the Olds Engine did just what we 
claimed for it—every user was satisfied and knew 
he had got more than his money’s worth, and he 
told someone else about it.

Engine. The first cost is saved so quick¬ 
ly in time, labor and money, that no 
shrewd farmer should try to get along without 
one. The daily cost of an Olds Engine is so 
small it is hardly worth while counting, com¬ 
pared with the work it does. 
There are not two farmers out of a thousand 
who could not use an Olds Engine with profit 
to themselves on their farms. You know 
what can be done with an engine on a farm 
better than I. You know an engine is needed 
on every good farm, but probably the reason 
you have not one now is because you have felt 
you could not afford it, or had some idea an en¬ 
gine was a difficult thing to run, and an expens¬ 
ive thing to keep in order, or perhaps you have 
had an engine that did not give you satisfaction. 
Not so with an Olds. You can afford it. Thous¬ 
ands and thousands of successful farmers have 
felt just as you do, but each man owns an Olds 
Engine today, and now he wonders how he ever 
got along without it. 
Do you think the big successful men of this 
country would be where they are today if they 
had not kept up with the times? They bought 
the things they needed to increase their earning 
power. A successful man can always find a 
way to pay for a necessity in his business. 
_I guarantee every Olds Engine that leaves 
the factory to be in perfect running order. I do 
not spend much time in the office. I am out in 
the shop with my coat off watching every detail. 
By keeping right out among the workmen, 
seeing that all the little things are actually done, 
I know the engine you get is all right, and that 
the high Olds standard is maintained. I also 
know the engine is “ Best by every test,” be¬ 
cause I look after the testing and inspecting my¬ 
self. They are the best you can buy, whether 
you pay less or more than the Olds price. 
Write me about your own particular case. 
Let me advise with you. What I can tell you 
will fit your case exactly. Then you can decide 
what engine to buy.

Olds Engines are of the highest efficiency at the very lowest price because we can produce them without wasting a 
’s worth of labor. There is a machine for every operation, and each piece down to the smallest bolt or nut, is made 
of the very best tested material at a cost that could not be lower without 
cutting quality. Don’t be misled by statements about “cheapness” in 
engines. Nobody can afford tq buy a poor engine at any price, but there is 
a point where the highest quality can be had at the lowest cost and the 
Olds Engine, because of the factory in which it is made, and the workmen 
who make it, stands without a superior in this respect. They are not slighted 
in places you cannot see, or where only an expert can discover it, but 
thoroughly w'ell built through and through, in a factory that is known the 
world over as one of the most modernly equipped engine factories that has 
been built. i 
That is why we give you a durable, simple, strong, high-grade, perfect¬ 
working, long lived engine at a low price.

Do Not Think of Buying' an Engine Without Investigating the Olds 
Write for our handsome catalogue. It contains many 
fine pictures of the very latest models of Olds Engines 
with a detailed description that makes the engine question 
as plain to you as an open book. It contains letters from 
farmers who have used the Olds Engines, and they give 
their practical every day experience with it. 
Olds Engines are made in all sizes to suit every kind of 
work on the farm. We have exactly the kind of engine you 
want. Tell me what you want to do with it, and I will tell 
you just exactly the kind of engine you want to buy to 
do the work. It will be an expert opinion that costs you 
nothing. 
Our hopper jacket engine on skids or wheels, 3 to 12 
H.P. is ready to run when you get it. Fill it with gasoline, 
throw' on the switch, turn the wheel, that’s all. No pip¬ 
ing to connect, nothing to set up, always ready, can be 
moved anywhere. 
We also make regular engines 8 to 50 H.P. for heavier 
work. 
Every Olds Engine is fitted with the Seager mixer 
which is recognized as being the most effective mixer that 
has ever been invented. They also have a removable 
water jacket so if through carelessness the water should 
freeze, but very little damage is done. 
It is to your decided advantage to 
send for our handsome catalogue. 
Do it now before you forget it. A postal card 
will do, but better still write me a letter, telling me 
what you want the engine to do, and you will get a 
personal letter from me that will give you the facts 
you want.
