H. H. Stewart relied heavily on promotional material from the Stanley Motor Carriage Company, but he also produced some advertising of his own. The reprint below is from The Wanganui Chronicle of October 3, 1922. It was almost certainly written by H. H. Stewart. Source: Stewart Archive.

H. H. "Steam" Stewart received a variety of marketing materials from the Stanley Motor Carriage Company. Here are the surviving examples.
Model 735 Price List
This price list contains the four models of its 735 offered by Stanley. Note the War Tax admonition. Stewart probably received this price list when he signed his April 1920 contract with the Stanley Motor Carriage Company to become its exclusive New Zealand agency. Source: Stewart Archive.
Model 735 Photographs
This image is unidentified, but appears to be a 1918 Model 735 Seven Passenger Sedan. Note the wire wheels and the pointed condenser. The photo was probably taken somewhere in Newton, MA. A very similar photo of this car appears in Kit Foster's book, The Stanley Steamer: America's Legendary Steam Car, page 318.[1]. Source: Stewart Archive.
The typewritten note on the reverse of this photograph (see below) identifies it as a "Stanley 2-Passenger Roadster on 735 Chassis $2,800.00 F.O.B. Factory July 1921." Source: Stewart Archive.
This Model 735B Touring Car is parked in front of F. O. Stanley's home in Newton, MA, according to H. H. Stewart's handwritten notes on the reverse (see below). ca: 1920. Source: Stewart Archive.
This unidentified image appears identical - except for the disk wheels - to a 1921 Model 735B Five-Passenger Touring Car pictured in Kit Foster's book, The Stanley Steamer: America's Legendary Steam Car, page 350.[1]. Source: Stewart Archive.
This unidentified image is almost certainly a 1921 or 1922 Model 735D Seven-Passenger Sedan. Source: Stewart Archives.
This image is unidentified, but it appears to be the 1921 Model 735F Brougham (see below). The headlights are different than the SOLAR 1130 lights that appear on Model 740 Stanleys. Note the lack of the oval window that appears on the Model 740F Brougham and the slanted windshield. Source: Stewart Archive.

Model 740
Model 740 Stanleys are identified by their SOLAR 1130 Headlights.
This 1922 Model 740F Brougham features an angled windshield that appeared on no other Stanley vehicles. This body style was introduced in 1921 as the 735F and was continued in 1922 and 1923. A similar photograph appears in Kit Foster's book, The Stanley Steamer: America's Legendary Steam Car, page 356.[1] Source: Stewart Archive.
Although unidentified, this image is a 1922 Model 740B Touring Car. It is probably the same car illustrated on page 360 of Kit Foster's book, The Stanley Steamer: America's Legendary Steam Car. H. H. Stewart identified this image as the "Model 740 Not the New Model." The new model was either the Model 750 or the SV 252 that Stewart helped to design.[1]
This is probably the Model 740A without the jump seats. Source: Stewart Archives.
