An ad for Haish's Chanticleer engine was spotted in the September 1915 edition of the Gas Review.

The ad features an illustration of a Chanticleer gas engine and reads:

"Chanticleer
'All Quality' Gasoline Engines

There are some definite differences between the CHANTICLEER and ordinary gasoline farm engines. Ask us about them.

NOT a 'foundry engine' but the product of an up-to-the-minute shop. Every working part is accurately machined to the diameter of a hair.

Designed and built with a definite appreciation of the demands of farm engine service.
 
1 1/2 to 22 H.P. for every purpose. Equipped with oscillating, crinkles self-starter.

We have a copy of our catalog for you. Send us your address at once.

See our exhibit at the State Fairs

Jacob Haish Co.
32 Haish Ave.
DeKalb, Ill."

Haish at the 2021 Sandwich Fair

I attended the 2021 Sandwich Fair last weekend and was so excited to see some Jacob Haish gas engines on display. Although I was unable to track down the owner of the engines, I took some photos.

The barbed wire traveling trailer, a Sandwich Fair regular, was also at this year's event. The trailer features a variety of barbed wire tools as well as a sampling of various wires. Haish's "Ripple Wire" is featured.
