The pages of the newspapers in the early years of the horseless carriage are very interesting and very plentiful. There will be future posts on the Mercer auto, and other locally famous auto manufacturers. During the time the above article was published, Henry Ford was competing with the Oldsmobile horseless carriage; one of the more popular early vehicles. The little 1904 auto cartoon on the lower right of the column was inserted from my "AUTOMOBILIA" file in the Hamilton Library's Local History files.
