The advertising for this buggy stated:
"High Wheels travel all roads because all roads are made to be traveled by High Wheels."
"Here is a high grade motor carriage at a most unusual price [$550.00], made by the oldest, largest and most practical
manufacturers of carriage automobiles in the world embodying the results of all their years of experience in building
this type of automobile exclusively."
"Winner in Algonquin Hill Climb, first and second places - motor buggy class. Greatest hill climbing event in
America."
"A splendid agency proposition"
"This new model makes our range of prices complete and puts our machine within the reach of every buyer, no matter what
his circumstances. For this reason our line is now more attractive than ever to agents, and we would urge you to take
up the matter of territory with us at once in order to get your application in before contracts expiring this Fall are
renewed for next year."
"Every part of every machine guaranteed"
"The well-known Holsman standard of quality has been maintained in this model - as we are too jealous of our reputation
to offer an inferior article to the public at any price."
"The same motor is used as in our higher priced machines, and in many other ways, it is identical with them. In order to
put the price within the reach of the masses, however, we have modified the lines and simplified the construction and
equipment a little."
"This new model contains the same high grade forgings, castings, seamless steel tubing, etc., used in all our models. It
is equipped with solid rubber tires, and is all ready for the road. Send for catalogue."
