Do Not Think of Buying a Gasoline Engine Without It 
T HE things that should decide you in selecting the right engine are what will it cost to run the engine:— 
(1) How much gasoline does it use? (2) How many parts are there to get out of order? (3) What will 
the repair cost? (4) Will the mixer always work? (5) Will the gasoline pump get out of order? (6) If 
water is left in the engine and it freezes, what will have to be replaced? (7) If it is guaranteed, what is the 
guarantee actually worth, etc., etc. ? 
THE OLDS ENGINE 
is the most economical engine to run of any. (1) The gasoline cost is very low because the new Seager mixer 
automatically makes exactly the right mixture of gas and air all the time. (2) It is the simplest because it has no 
small, delicate parts to get out of adjustment. (3) You are guaranteed against buying any repairs for one year 
because we make the following proposition: 
We 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, provided the replacement is one you think should be borne by the 
manufacturer. \ ou 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. 
This makes a big possible saving to you the first year when 99 % of your troubles would naturally come. (4) The Seager mixer has 
no moving parts —once adjusted it is adjusted for a lifetime. (5) The Olds Type A Engine has no gasoline pump. The piston sucks the 
gasoline up into the mixer automatically. (6). The Olds water jacket is a separate casting. In case of freezing, this part alone can be 
replaced at slight expense, instead of having to buy a whole engine bed and cylinder. (7) A guarantee is limited by the financial responsi¬ 
bility of the concern making it. Ask your banker whether the Olds Gas Power Co. is good for what it says. 
There are cheaper engines made that are painted just as prettily as ours, and their catalogues contain many tempting claims and make 
many attractive promises ; but in spite of all that has been claimed and promised about other gasoline engines selling at all kinds of prices, we 
have been making steadily for 30 years an engine that has become the standard of the world. 
An engine that is as finely built as the Olds, that has Olds quality of material and workmanship, could not be successfully sold for 
any less than our prices, backed by our kind of a guarantee, or with a record of so many thousands of satisfied customers. 
The United States Government uses them in its military posts, government work of spraying and irrigating, because the Olds Engines 
have stood the most severe tests they could put them to. 
E VERY man has a hobby. Mine is 
building engines that are so good the 
user will want his neighbor to have 
one. I insist on every Olds Engine becom¬ 
ing an Olds salesman. 
Anybody can paint a cheap engine to 
look like a good engine. I never did make 
that kind, and never will. My task was 
easy because when I took hold of this busi¬ 
ness, I didn’t have to start a new concern; 
it had already gone through over 20 years 
of success. The Olds Engine was a mag¬ 
nificent engine, but now it is 100% better 
than it ever was before. This is due to its 
material, its new mixer. No gasoline pump; 
the cylinders are just the same as used in 
automobile motors; jump spark ignition 
which has five stationary parts only, instead 
of thirty moving parts as in the old style 
igniter's; removable valves; simplicity; three 
separate inspections; economy and certainty 
of operation. 
Everyone will be satisfied with an Olds 
Engine—he cannot help it. I care more 
for having a pleased Olds user than I do to 
sell a large number of engines. Every user 
of an Olds Engine must be satisfied—I will 
not have any other kind of a customer. 
I guarantee every Olds Engine to be in 
perfect running order when it leaves the 
factory. I know the engine you get is all 
right, and that the high Olds standard is 
maintained. It is the best you can buy, 
whether you pay more or less than the Olds 
price. 
J. B. SEAGER, Gen. Mgr. 
Every farmer who requires an engine can afford an Olds Engine. It does not pay to buy a cheap machine of any kind, and the price you pay for an Olds is only a slight percent over what 
it costs us to build them right. We make so many in a year we can afford to have our percentage of profit small. You are really getting an engine of the very highest possible quality at the right 
In fact you get all of your money’s worth—one hundred cents worth for every dollar. 
Our catalogue mailed you free tells you just what you should know about an engine. Write for it today before you forget it. 
Write me personally 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.
