Thousands of regular Rural New Yorker readers have been among 
Phelps’ best customers for twelve years. He’ll tell you who they are— 
near your place. He has a warm personal feeling toward the readers of 
this paper and comes here regularly to tell you about his latest styles 
and money-saving prices. Phelps’ big business has been built on quality 
of his Split Hickory Vehicles—and on the recommendations of his cus¬ 
tomers to their neighbors and friends. So, if you never sent your name to 
him, you’d better do it now, whether you are ready to buy yet or not, because 
this season he is making the best offers possible in improvements and style 
on highest-grade-made, longest-service buggies. His book tells the whole 
story—gives prices—savings from $25.00 and up and describes every job 
complete, just as Phelps makes it to order. He knows, too. 
He stands right over every one of his jobs in the making, and knows that the very best 
materials and expert workmanship go into it. In his book he tells you in his own experienced 
words, about values — and Phelps knows — and how to avoid weak spots in buggies. He 
stands right by his Split Hickory jobs—points out in photograph the parts you ought to 
examine. Shows you in colors and photographs on page inserts in 
his book three feet across, just exactly what he makes and what 
he puts into every Split Hickory. He stands right back of 
any "Split Hickory and you can test it on your own roads 
behind your own horses.

Phelps’ business is bigger than ever. Other makers selling 
through the dealers, are going out of business on 
account of automobiles. But he figures that every¬ 
body needs a buggy whether they have an 
automobile or not, and that every auto¬ 
mobile owner wants a buggy anyway—for 
times when he can’t run his machine. 
Decide to investigate Phelps’ better plan 
now. He wants to satisfy you as a new cus¬ 
tomer—first, last and all the time—to sell you 
not only one Split Hickory, but to please you 
so much and save you so much money that 
you will never be willing to buy at any other 
place, any other way or any other buggy, but 
thei kind he makes. And 
Phelps is the only one that 
such buggy values can be 
bought from. Try writing

Don’t get Split Hickory Vehicles mixed 
up with any other buggies made—they're 
entirely different. Higher grade — better 
style, better trimmed, better painted, longer 
lived, easier running—that’s because they're 
made to order, just as you want them.
