I am so confident that the Olds clgine is the most economical and 
most durable engine you can buy £t I will make this proposition to 
every buyer of an Olds Engine : ® 
I agree to replace, free « ^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 tEe 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. 
J. B. SEAGER, Gen’l Mgr. 
Do you think this proposition could be made on any engine but a practically perfect one? You can 
easily see that to stand this supreme 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. 
Give You the Power 
You Need 
At the Price You Can Afford to Pay For It. 
They are the cheapest engines 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 Olds over all other engines. 
The United States Government must have found 
it out also because they buy Olds Engines for 
their military 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. 
Y OU cannot afford to do without an Olds 
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 :ase. 
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 penny’s worth of labor. There is a machine 
for every operation, and each piece down to the smallest bolt or nut, is made of 
of the very best tested material at a cost that could not be lower without cut¬ 
ting quality. Don’t be misled by statements about “cheapness” in engines. 
Nobody can afford to 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 well 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. 
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' an Olds 
Write today for our handsome catalogue. It contains 
many fine pictures of the very latest models of Olds En¬ 
gines 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. No pump to leak. No moving 
parts to get out of order. They also have a removable 
water jacket so if through carelessness the w'ater should 
freeze, but very little damage is done. 
It is to your decided advantage to 
send for our 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 frdm me that will give you the facts 
you want.
