I drew this in pen and ink way back in 1989 for one of my columns. If you go to the Trenton State Gazette of July 7, 1910 you will see a very poor offset photo of this unusual Mercer Automobile Company vehicle. The art of newspaper offset printed graphics was in its infancy and the original photo is very poorly reproduced. My interest in the Kuser family was the inspiration for this drawing. It pains me to know that Fritz and Edna Kuser passed away before they could read and view some of the wonderful material I have on the Kuser family that is being preserved in the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection.
