Do Not Think of Buying a Gasoline Engine Without It 
The 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 repairs 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 worth. 
THE OLDS ENGINE 
is the most economical engine to run 
(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. YOU ARE TO BE THE ONLY 
JUDGE. There is to be no argument, no delay in return¬ 
ing 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 per cent, 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 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 we are good for what we say. 
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, backed by 
our kind of a guarantee, or with a record of so many 
thousands of satisfied customer's, could not be successfully 
sold for any less than our price. 
The United States Government uses them in its mili¬ 
tary posts, government work of spraying and irrigating, 
because the Olds Engines have stood the most severe tests 
they could put them to. 
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 per cent, 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 1 
engine of the very highest possible quality at the right price. 
In fact you get all of 3'our 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. To save time you can write to 
my nearest representative. 
Every man lias a hobby. Mine is build- 
ins engines that are so good the user will 
want his neighbor to have one. 1 insist on 
every Olds Engine becoming an Olds sales¬ 
man. • 
Anybody can paint a cheap engine to 
look good ; 1 never built cheap goods and 
never will. When I took hold of this busi¬ 
ness my task was easy because I did not 
have to start a new concern. It had already 
gone through over twenty years of success. 
The Olds engine was a magnificent engine, 
but now it is 100 per cent, better than ever 
before—better material; better mixer; 
no gasoline pump; automobile quality 
cylinder; jump spark ignition—five parts 
only, all of which are stationary—instead 
of thirty moving parts as in the old style 
igniters; removable valves; simplicity; 
three separate inspections; economy and 
certainty of operation. 
Every one will be satisfied with an Olds 
Engine—he cannot help it. I care more 
for having a pleased Olds user than I do to 
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 cus¬ 
tomer. 
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.
