His Big Buggy Book 
T’S HIS Style Book of 
Split Hickory Vehicles 
for 1911—fresh from the 
printer. Phelps is a practical 
Buggy designer and manufac¬ 
turer—he writes these books every 
year himself—and he says this 1911 
Book is the best one he’s ever written. 
In it he’s worked out a new plan of displaying 
and illustrating many of the important and exclu¬ 
sive features found only on Split Hickory Vehicles. 
In this Book for 1911 he takes one of his 
Vehicles and tears it all to pieces in a lot of 
photographs, showing you, together with full 
descriptions—all about every part of a buggy— 
how it should be made—what it should be made 
of—and Phelps knows. 
Phelps tells you in his Book just why it is 
Important that you get such wheels on the rig 
you purchase as he guarantees to put on his Split 
Hickory Buggies for 1911—which are made of 
triple A grade straight grained Hickory—a grade 
found on no “stock” buggy. 
See that Split Hickory spoke Phelps holds in his hand? 
It’s a sample spoke (unpainted) that he sends with every 
buggy he sells—and he guarantees every wheel to be made 
of the same straight grained second growth Shellbark 
Hickory as the sample spoke. 
This same grade of material he also guarantees to use 
in the construction of all running gears and other wood¬ 
work on his celebrated Split Hickory Vehicles.
