A Greater Variety of Vehicles in 
This Book Than in 10 Large 
Towns or 25 Dealers 9 Stores 
In it I give you the practi¬ 
cal facts I’ve learned as a buggy 
designer and manufacturer. Don’t 
buy until you know these facts. I’m 
glad to give you this information about 
buggies. I don’t ask you to buy of me 
—unless you’re convinced. But I do 
believe you need this information—this big 
buggy book. Send me a postal for it today. 
This book shows you by photographs a vehicle torn to pieces. Every part shown 
clearly with full description—how it should be made—what it should be made of. Do 
you know why it is important to have Phelps guaranteed wheels? I tell you in this 1911 
book. Read about the triple A straight grained Hickory—a grade you’ll never find in a 
stock buggy. I send you a sample Split Hickory Spoke (unpainted) with every buggy I 
sell—and I guarantee every wheel to be made of the same straight grained second growth 
shell bark Hickory as the sample. Send for the book with the 125 styles of auto seat 
buggies, surreys, runabouts, phaetons, road wagons and harness. Direct factory prices— 
$25 to $75 saving, according to the vehicle you buy.

portant points about a buggy. I want to tell 
you how and why I use the Triple A grade wheels 
on every Split Hickory Vehicle I make; why I send

anteeing the same material in the wheels, running gear, 
etc., in your vehicle.
