NATIONAL CoMMENTs
For the past 10 years our GAZETTE, which, I feel
is second to none in publications of its class, has been
under the very able guidance of Fred Hayward,
our editor.
It has been my privilege to know Fred since 1950
when we met on the Los Angeles to San Francisco
National tour. Since that time he has worked long
and hard in our Club's interest, having been GAZETTE
Editor since 1956.
It is with a great deal of regret that your Board of
Directors is forced to accept Fred's resignation.
Our search for his successor has been a difficult
one, believe me, but we are extremely pleased to tell
you that Everett Miller, one of our Club's founders,
will now be at the helm as your Horseless Carriage
GAZETTE editor.
I have known Everett and his wife Katherine since
we joined this wonderful club of ours in 1950 and
feel, personally, that we could not have made a better choice.
Besides being a Charter Member, Everett Miller
has served as President, Secretary-Treasurer and
Chairman of the Board, having been a Director for
15 years.
We, the National Board of Directors, believe that
we are all indeed fortunate to have an editor with
such a tremendous background of Club history.
Everett was instrumental in introducing the first offset printing and publishing of the GAZETTE. It was
he who designed our Club emblem and, in our Club's
infancy, when the founders were trying to come up
with a name for this small, interested group, Katherine Miller suggested The Hors eless Carriage Club,
which name was unanimously accepted and is one
of which we are all justly proud.
WELCOME ABOARD, EVERETT!!!!

Wellington Everett Miller, cofounder of the
Horseless Carriage Club and President in 1942, is
to become GAZETTE editor effective with the next
issue. Well known to enthusiasts around the world
for his vast collection of automotive literature, he
has a wide knowledge of early autos and their
owners. He began collecting auto material as a
schoolboy, and has continued collecting thru years
of design work for such firms as the Murphy Body
Co. in Pasadena, California, Harry Miller's race car
shops where he made the first drawings for what
became the front-drive Cord, the G.M. design center
under Harley J. Earl, and Packard during the great
days of the 20's. It is expected that the GAZETTE
format will remain much the same for the foreseeable future; the rest of the staff will remain the same
for the present.

In leaving the Editorship of the GAZETTE, I want
to thank the multitude of persons who have helped
so generously the past ten years. In particular, Dick
Philippi, Dr. Alfred S. Lewerenz, Herb Prentice and
Ward Kimball have contributed work and ideas in
a volume and a quality that have made the GAZETTE what it is. Mike Roberts, our cover photographer and general technical advisor; Stu Goldth·
waite our printer (Litho-Color Company, Tustin);
and Ken Shamory our typographer, have also contributed importantly. To all these, and the dozens
more who have helped, I give my sincere thanks.

The Type-1 3 Bugatti which French member Girod-Eymery located in
Russia has now been disassembled, and found to be generally excellent. These photos show the condition of the body, chassis and
engine while under restoration in the workshop of the Museon di
Rodo at Uzes in the south of France. The rear of the frame bears
some resemblance to the later Bugatti practice but the engine appears
to be the most advanced feature of the car. This model was Bugatti's first under his own name, and was built from 1911 - 1 3. A
similar car is now rumored to be stored in an unrevealed location
in Argentina!

"Mrs. Harriet Clark Fisher started on her world
journey, July 19, 1909. It ended on August 16,
I 91 o, making her tour a year and one month lacking
three days.
"Mrs. Fisher's party included Mr. Harold Fisher
Brooks, a nephew, who has a responsible position in
the management of her anvil works, and who drove
the car; Albert Bachellor, cook, secretary, and man
of all work, and Maria, Italian maid.
"'I had everything built to order with a view to
economy of space and weight, at the same time
securing all the comfort and convenience possible,'
said Mrs. Fisher in describing her equipment. 'I
had a celebrated tent maker of Paris construct my
tent, and when I called for it, it was all folded and
ready for delivery, the maker assuring me that everything was all right. I was not satisfied with buying
a tent that way and told him I wanted to see the tent
set up and to understand its workings. He said this
could not be done except in the street and if he
attempted that the g endarme would arrest him. I
sent my interpreter to the gendarme, who good
naturedly consented to allow the inspection, and the
tent was spread in the Place V en dome, Paris, attracting
a large crowd and several newspaper photographers.'
"' vVe carried a tent,' said Mrs. Fisher, in describing
her equipment, 'several cooking utensils, a large tea
basket full of china, and two trunks. We roughed it
all along the roads, sending ahead by express, trunks
containing clothing necessary for our appearance at
social functions.
" 'Our tank contained forty-two gallons of gasolene
and we had an extra tank under the tonneau, which
allowed us to cover 375 miles easily. We had to buy
our gasolene and send it ahead to points nearest our
stopping places, and frequently go after our supplies
in bullock carts.
" 'We left New York with eight tires, four on the
machine and four extra ones,. and strange to say they
lasted us throughout our journey until we reached our
own country. Then we used up twelve more tires,
making twenty all told.'
"Mrs. Fisher was enthusiastic over the fine roads
they found in India, where they drove over a stretch
of road I zoo miles long and as level as a floor.

FROM THE LOCOMOBILE .BOOK, 1911
" 'In Japan the roads were perfect,' she said, 'and
in both countries I was given every assistance. In
India I was escorted for miles into the country, and,
as I went to Japan with the Gaekwar of Baroda
and his party, I was treated as a guest of the Mikado,
whose emissaries escorted me and furnished me with
important maps.'
"Mrs. Fisher was enthusiastic in h er praise of her
Locomobile.
" 'Just to think,' she said, ' we m ade the trip
around the world, over all so rts of roads, across deserts
of hot sand, down precipitous mountain sides and
through rivers, without mishap more se rious than
blowing out of tires, and breaking of the pet cock on
the oil tank. Our greatest annoyances occurred after
our return to our own country. I don't believe that
any other car cou ld ha ,. ;:; stood a stronger test, and I
want Mr. Brooks to have all the credit for taking the
car over its remarkable journey, for h e certainly used
rare judgment in handling the machine and getting us
out of uncomfortable situations.
"'The only assistance we had to have was in
crossing the Tapi River, in Southern India. The
Tapi is a broad, shallow river, with sandy bottom too shallow to require a bridge, and yet too deep for
us to get through with our own power. As was the case
everywhere we traveled, th e government gave us every
possible assistance, and you may be sure we were a
picturesque gro up hitched to sixteen pairs of oxen
and escorted by a do zen native policemen, with their
hea ds bound up in great white turbans and splashing
bare legged through the water on eit her side of us.
Our luggage and equipment followed us on ox carts,
while a curious crowd watc h ed us from the banks,
many of the boys following into the water knee deep.'
"Mrs. Fisher has resumed the active management
of her factory in Trenton, and it was there in her
office, overlooking the Delaware, that the Herald
reporter found her taking up the threads of bu siness
where she left off a year ago. She is proud of h er
shop and of her men, and takes pleasure in showing
one through the 'plant and discussing improvements.
On the river front of the sh op is a flourishing cornfield,
and it is on this ground that she hopes to build

Where the party stayed at Lucin, Utah.
homes for all her men and their families. Romping
about the place was her pet Boston bull terrier,
Honk-Honk, who made the trip around the world
with his mistress.
"' Oh, you must come up to the house and see
Billikens,' she said, and into the very machine in
which the world tour was made, the big, gray
Locomobile, with its paint rubbed off, its sides
scratched and its leather parts worn to a frazzle, the
reporter was whisked, and the way in which the Fisher
home was reached showed that the car had lost none
of its speed or power by its twenty-thousand-mile run.
"Billikens is a minute monkey who became a part
of Mrs. Fisher's entourage at Ceylon, and immediately
became the playmate of Honk-Honk, the Boston
bull terrier.
"The Fisher home is now a museum of travel
souvenirs and of American Beauty roses, her favorite
flower. The most striking souvenir is a collection of
miniature figures representing all the servants of an
Indian household, and trades people. These were
given to her at a dinner in Calcutta. These remarkable little figures are fashioned of native clay, perfect
in detail, natural in pose, and draped in most realistic
style by the wife of their creator, who is the only
artist of his kind in Calcutta.
"'Now that I am back home again,' said Mrs.
Fisher, 'I have to look hard at these souvenirs in
order to realize that the whole thing has not been a
dream. My tour was like a journey through fairyland.
I seem to bear a charmed life. Time and again,
quite unknown to us, we were on the brink of disaster,
but always something interposed between us and what
seemed, at least, injury and possible death.
"'Once, in Japan, after we had left At ami and
gone through the famous pass outside the city, and were
proceeding along the narrow winding road opposite
Hakone mountain, something within prompted me to
say "stop". We got out of the car and went forward
a few feet to find that the bridge had been entirely
destroyed by fire and that foot travelers had laid a few
bamboo poles and rubbish across the place to enable
them to pass. Had we not stopped at the instant I
shouted, we would have plunged over a precipice
several hundred feet below to instant death. It was
impossible for us to turn back, so we pitched our tent
and made ourselves as comfortable as we could on this
narrow mountain road, while the men went back for
assistance. The government at once sent a small
army of laborers and built a new bridge for us. Such
courtesies were extended to us on every hand, the
Japanese government lending me valuable maps and
13
guide books which I am under an oath to return.
"• Another thrilling experience was that of crossing
the Fuji river in Japan. The big Locomobile was
run onto a raft built of two boats lashed together
and covered with boards. On this we embarked and
were in tow of a tugboat, when the bamboo poles
holding the tow line parted and the raft drifted
helplessly upon the rocks in the middle of the river.
The machine could not be gotten off, so a pontoon
bridge was built in sections out to the raft and the car
run off onto the bridge. Then another section ofbridges
was built and the car transferred, until they finally
landed us on the opposite shore after many hours of
labor and anxiety.
"• But don't think that the tour was one succession
of narrow escapes. Far from it. It was rather one
continuous and splendid reception, intermingled with
amusing incidents from the time I crossed the Turkish
border until I left the shores of Japan. It was more
the tour of a royal personage than that of a simple
American woman traveling for her health ..
"• When I left the United States my first objective
point was Contrexville, France, where I had planned
to take the cure. My few weeks' stay there, where I
met many old friends and acquaintances of Europe, with
daily automobile trips 'round about and short tours
through the country, soon restored me to health.
My triumphs began here where my car won the best
cup and two medals in an automobile tournament.
From here I went to beautiful Lake Como, where
I have my villa and keep my American built yacht.
Again my good fairy looked after me, for in the annual
regatta my yacht, the Carlotta, won the Marchesa
Trotti Cup for speed and for being the best decorated
yacht on the lake. After this, everywhere I traveled
was among and over flowers.
"• I left Italy when the peach trees were in blossom,
and toured Japan with the petals of cherry blossoms
strewing our path. I have spent many summers at
my Italian villa (The Villa Carlotta), and have met
and entertained there many notable persons from all
over the world. It was at Como that I met His
Highness the Maharajah Bahadur of Benares, who so
royally entertained me in India, and through him
met His Highness the Gaekwar of Baroda and his
interesting family, who invited me to spend several
weeks at their palace.'
"vVhen her party reached the outposts of the
province ruled by Sir Prabnu Narayan Singh, His
Highness sent the royal coach, in charge of his private
secretary, with two coachmen, two footmen, and two
outrunners to meet Mrs. Fisher. When the party
reached the Ganges, opposite the palace, Mrs. Fisher
was carried from the coach in a • dandy' by four
liveried servants, and boarded the private yacht of the
ruler and was ferried across to the marble landing
leading up to the palace. The landing and steps were
covered with red velvet, and during Mrs. Fisher's
entire visit to the potentate her feet were not permitted
to touch the earth.
"In his palace she met many of the Indian and
British notables and on the occasion of a state dinner
Mrs. Fisher was decorated by His Highness, who
placed about her neck a necklace of spun gold and red
silk, red and gold being the colors of her host.
"Mrs. Fisher was also entertained for several days
by the very wealthy merchant, Matilal Nehru and his
wife, in their wonderful palace, Anand Bhawan, at
Allahabad, India. Mrs. Clark Fisher is the only
white woman who ever slept in this beautiful palace.''
Nelson Ho lmwood of Laguna Beach, California, who contributed this
article from the 1911 Locomobile Book is pictured here at the wheel
of his 1 908 Locomobile which he and his wife Edna drove across the
USA to the Glidden Tour in 1 956.

~These
four snapshots appe,ar to have been taken on a motor trip
into the back country east of Oceanside, California. The car is a
1909 Locomobile Model 40 Baby Tonneau. By the fairly new appearance of the car and the clothing of the driver, the trip might
have been made in the fall of 1909.
This view may have been taken near Palomar Mountain. Early type

... The same 1909 Locomobile stuck in a wash. This view was evi... dentely taken some time after the Mission San Luis Rey trip, as an
auxiliary hand operated oil pump has been added outside of the
driver's seat.
These three pictures show a 1908 Locomobile, Model H. No infor- •
mat ion on the location of the ferry boat "Joseph Kellogg" but .,.
clues such as the river and the signs above the stairs which warn
that passengers with "calked shoes" are not allowed on the
upper deck, plus the type of scenery in the other pictures suggest
that this may have been in the Pacific Northwest.

P hrases such as, "What's the action?" "Weah
you pahk yo' cah - You go Kokee?" "Look, My
Mother, The Car." "You mean you gained 15 pounds
just five days on the ship?" will always bring a
smile of remembrance to those who participated in
the Fremont (California) HCC's "Hawaiian Holiday."
Although the actual tour dates were from March
16th (departure of Lurline from San Francisco) or
March 21st (PanAro jet departure) through March
31st, many departed from the mainland via plane
earlier than this. Seventy-four persons with 26 cars
made the trip, including one who bought a Ford
for the trip, not caring to chance losing either of
his two Pride and Joys on the ocean voyage. Tour
mileage was 375, not counting a good bit more for
local trips.
Monday, March 21st the Lurline arrived at Honolulu. Thirty-three members were on board, various
San Francisco and Bay Area members having
proven themselves prize winning entertainers at
the ship's talent show. The ship was met by early
arrivals in their antique cars, and shortly after, the
rest of the cars were out of the ship's hold and on
the dock. Later that afternoon the rest of the
tourists arrived by PanAro Clipper.
Tuesday, a full-circle tour of the island of Oahu
totaled 116 miles. A beautiful day's drive, ending
with a stop at Wheeler Air Force Base, thanks to
Col. Frank Hay whose interest in the cars enabled
drivers to miss the afternoon freeway rush hour.
Wednesday a 40 mile Mt. Tantalus tour took us
to National Memorial Cemetary in Punchbowl
Crater, to Robert Louis Stevenson's hut at the
Salvation Army's famous Waioli Tea Room, and
on to Pali Lookout where the first Hawaiian rain
wet the HCC party. Over the hill to Waimanalo,
past Rabbit Island, into Sea Life Park, past Makapuu Point, the Blowhole, Hanauma Bay, Diamond
Head and then back to the Waikiki Beach area.
The Luau that night at Hawaiian Village waR
tasted, eaten or ignored by the automobilists, but
Sweet Leilani and her dancing friends who entertained were given a strong vote of approval. ("Keep
your eyes on the EYEBROWS??" Aw, come on,
Doc!)
Thursday morning the cars were put on a barge
to be shipped to the "Garden Island" of Kauai,
most westerly of the Hawaiian chain. This day and
the next day gave time for a trip to the beach outside the hotel; an Aloha banquet ended the festivities at Honolulu.
Saturday, a half hour plane flight and we arrived
at Lihue, the "city" on Kauai, and immediately
held the much advertised Challange Race. Each
busload urged their driver onward to Nawiliwili
Harbor, where our automobiles were found all safely
under cover. Soon we were on our way back thru
Lihue to our Coco Palms Hotel. Here we were
given the ROYAL welcome . . . Mary Wong and
John Kauo gave us a lei greeting, and Mary had
made a sign of over 1,000 vanda orchids bidding us
FREMONT BCC HOSTS
Hawaiian
welcome while the Hotel crew joined in with drum
and conch shells.
Sunday we made a 62 mile trip, touring easterly
and northerly to the end of the road at Ke'e Beach,
famous for the Wet & Dry Caves. Then a return to
Hanalei Plantation for lunch. This hotel is located
at the point on which Hanalei Bay meets the blue
Pacific Ocean, and along this beach and nearby a
host of films, including South Pacific, were made.
The scenery of beaches, lush fields and towering
Mt. Waialeale (world's wettest spot) is a beautiful
sight.
Monday, March 28th we were off on a 98 mile
trip to the "Biggest Little City" on the island,
Hanapepe, and as the local radio station announced
our route and arrival times, we had most of the
Islanders waving and grinning at us. We visited an
elementary school in Kaumakani and both elementary and high schools at Waimea, at their request. Students were let out of class to see our
vehicles. And at our lunch stop, a group of little
pre-school charmers (ages 3 and 4) whose teacher
had brought them down, welcomed us with a few
choral selections. Lunch, then on to Kokee (Hawaiian for "canyon" we were told, but it was all up).
The view from the top was enchanting, when the
clouds opened up - those who made the top were
above the clouds, the planned goal being Waimea
Canyon Park Lookout, at least seven miles below
the top.
Kauaians are so hospitable - we were always
being asked by businessmen in little towns to· 9top
for soft drinks- they wanted so much to "donate"
(as they put it) something to us in return for bringing our cars to them!
Tuesday, tourers walked to charter boats for the
ride up Wailua River to the aweinspiring Fern
Grotto, then back to our antiques and a short drive
past Menehune Pond, the first Sugar Mill, and to
Waiohi on the south coast for lunch. A 40 mile trip
this day.
Wednesday, 25 cars were put back on barges to
Oahu. Two planes left the airport, and back to the
Ilikai Hotel at Honolulu.
Thursday, 19 cars were loaded on the Lurline
for return to San Francisco, the balance going on
a cargo carrier to Southern California. Two airplane
flights late that night took us back to the Mainland, and the Tour Chairman was ''one happy fella"
when all people and cars landed back home safely!

TRENTON, N.J., REGIONAL GROUP correspondent Malcolm E. Minton, writes of his club's active schedule
of events the latter half of 1965. July saw no less
than five major outings, including the Independence
Day Holiday parade, a joint trek with the North
Shore Antique Auto Club of Point Pleasant, N.J.;
a shopping center display in Fairless Hills; a scavenger run and picnic which wound up at activity chairman Frank Rue's place; and finishing up the month
with an overnight run to historic Gettysburg, Pa.,
covering approximately 400 miles round trip. From
a dozen to nearly 40 cars found their way in each of
these events. In August the club had an overnight
run to Wilmington, Delaware, where the Longwood
Gardens were visited, plus making a stop at the T.
Clarence Marshall Museum of Steam Cars in Yorklyn, Del. In November the "Frost Bite Run" took a
shivering group to Bowman's Hill Park on the beautiful Delaware River at Washington's Crossing, Pa.
The year concluded with the annual Christmas party
dinner dance at the historic Yardville, N.J. tavern.
The club's president, Howard Carr, was reelected to
a second term.
began its
tour season with a shakedown to Malibu, taking the
group from Pacific Palisades thence over 50 miles of
Malibu mountain roads and a picnic at Tapia Park.
James Zordich was in charge of plans. The big
HCCSC annual three-day tour this year was held in
Death Valley April 22-24, with Howard Campbell as
tour chairman. Highlights of the trip included stops
at Scotty's Castle, driving through Wildrose Canyon
with an overnight stop at Stove Pipe Wells Hotel.
The tour crossed over to Beatty, Nevada, thence to
Rhyolite. The last leg of the journey included Furnace Creek Ranch, Bad Water (279 feet below sea
level) and out the Valley over Jubilee Pass, then
home via Highway 91.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL GROUP
has been busy
for nearly a year now preparing for the 1967 National
Tour. Under the guidance of Herb Schoenfeld, tour
chairman, much groundwork has been laid for what
the club's "Evergreen Gas-ette" reports will be a
tour that'll make everyone who participates glad he
came. The Sheraton Motor Inn will be tour headquarters in Seattle and the Bayshore Inn as headquarters in Vancouver, B.C. National Tour Coordinator will be HCCA Director Bud Catlett who will
be liaison man between the S-T Regional and the
National Board. Already the tour has 38 cars signed
up. Tour dates are July 17-20, 1967.
SEATTLE-TACOMA REGIONAL GROUP
at Fresno,.
experienced a very successful swap meet (their 7th
annual) held in Madera at the Fairgrounds, and
attended by an estimated 1,000 persons with about
60 or so vendors doing a good bit of trading. A sizeable delegation of Southern California members were
present - including four past National Presidents
and two former National directors. People from
Nevada and Northern California were in strong numbers too. Coming the farthest was Wally Johnson of
Friend, Nebraska, member of the Omaha Regional
Group.
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA REGIONAL GROUP
NEVADA REGIONAL GROUP'S Steering Column reports a busy schedule of events. All roads will lead
to the 9th Biennial Reno Tour, come June 20-23.
The attractive brochures are out to all owners of
1915 and older antique autos (active HCCA members) and the mad rush to sign up is on. Later in the
summer. August 5 and 6, the 2nd annual Reno Swap
Meet and Car Show will be held at Wooster High
School, Reno, sponsored by Harrah's Automobile
Collection. Applications and requests for information on that event should be addressed to Ray Jesch,
P.O. Box 10, Reno, Nevada.
ARIZONA REGIONAL GROUP , Tucson, had a good
opening event for the year March 20th when a potluck picnic and white elephant auction took place at
Palo Verde Camp near old Tucson. All profits made
on the auction were turned over to the club treasury.
The Arizona Group is planning a major tour in
August, called the White Mountain Tour, located in
the vicinity of the 1964 Coronado Trail tour.
KANSAS CITY REGIONAL GROUP'S "Cranker" reports
the 1966 Midwest National Tour will be held in July,
sponsored by the Tulsa, Oklahoma Regional in conjunction with their annual Trail of Tears Tour.
VALLEY OF THE SUN REGIONAL GROUP, Phoenix, Arizona, has just concluded a mighty successful antique
auto show, boasting sixty beautifully restored cars,
displayed at the Chris-Town Shopping Showplace
for a week-long stand. Chairman of the event was
activities chairman Bob Nelson. Drawing particular
attention was Joe Gest's little 1902 French Prunel
as well as his high wheeled Holsman. Charles Black's

VACATION STYLES
- 1915
By Helen Frye
T'he new look of 1915 was firmly entrenched by
midsummer; the draped, puffed and slit skirts of
1914 were no longer to be found in the pattern
books. To quote PICTORIAL REVIEW for July, 1915,
"As the season advances, the short wide skirt is being accepted more and more, even by conservative
women. At first it seemed such a radical innovation
that women who do not like extreme styles refused
to wear the abbreviated models which, in some
cases, reached little lower than the shoe tops. But
it became apparent that the full skirts when long
have a pronounced tendency to make the wearer
look old, and gradually the shorter models came
into vogue. To look stylish, a full skirt should escape
the ground by at least three inches, and young
slender women wear their skirts from four to six
inches ab6ve the ground." These skirts achieved
width with plaits; plaited or gathered flounces attached to hip yokes (which were exceedingly popular), or by the new circular cut.
Waistlines were two inches above normal, and
dress waists were quite varied; tight fitting and
laced peasant styles were common, surplice, vestees
and suspenders and bloused effects over guimpes for
contrast. Fresh variations of that old friend the
middy blouse and a new rather long overblouse
which slipped over the head and was belted were
worn with the new circular skirt or six-gored type
for tennis or golf or other "outing" wear. Necklines
were quite generally low but the stand-up turned
down collar was still good and the Quaker collar an
innovation. Many dresses and blouses were ornamented with a stand-up plaited frill at the back of
the neck which sometimes narrowed and followed
the neckline around to the front of the blouse. We
illustrate an interesting novelty shirtwaist whose
collar is cut in one with the waist, the raglan sleeve
being carried to the top of the collar making a convertible neckline.
All the old terms are used in this PICTORIAL REVIEW: "princess, tunic, bolero or Zouave jacket,
guimpe and tiers", but all have adapted interpretations. It is in fact quite fascinating to follow these
same terms of fashion throughout the years as they
emerge as the dernier cri and become submerged
again.
Note the 1915 version of the motor coat; fabrics
recommended for it were tweed, gabardine, homespun, heather mixtures, covert cloth and whipcord.
These fabrics plus serge, cotton corduroy, poplin,
linen, pongee, taffeta and faille list the most popular
materials for suits and skirts. Some of these and
laces, batiste, voile, wash silks and crepe-de-chine
were favored for dresses and blouses. A renewed
interest in separate skirts and blouses flared.
Hats were quite moderate in size if brimmed and
trimmed with ribbon or flowers. Most popular
were small rather high turbans with compact trimmings of flowers, ribbon folds or an occasional light
feather fancy. One innovation for that year was a
sort of shepherdess hat tipped up in the back with
gay flowers on top and ribbons under the brim.
Answering a reader inquiry for "something more becoming than the tie under the chin motor bonnet"
a taffeta Tam O'Shanter was suggested. We show
two versions from a 1915 copy of WoMAN's WoRLD
MAGAZINE.
There was a budding interest in styles for the
young girl as a separate group emphasizing a jaunty
youthfulness, rather than just shorter versions of
their mothers' fashions. Dressmakers were still very
busy, but ready-made clothes, once scorned, were
improving in quality and modishness, especially in
suits, skirts and coats, and being accepted. It was a
period of trial · and error, the itch to try new ideas
evident. Having achieved comfort and mobility, La
Mode's problem was to make them "chic."

N.Y. TO PARIS WINNER 93
George Schuster, driver of the New York-to- Paris Thomas Flyer, celebrated his 93rd birthday recently. He is pictured (right) with Tom
Mahoney, coauthor of their new book The Longest Auto Race, published by the John Day Company. Schuster and Mahoney are holding
a handmade birthday card sent by artist Peter Heick; the heading
reads, "Happy Birthday to the man who carried the flag."
EARLY CHEVROLET HISTORY by Doug Bell is the
latest in Floyd Clymer's series of historical automotive books. Passenger cars from 1912 to 1928 and
trucks from 1918 to 1945 are covered in detail, with
lists of specifications and serial numbers and hundreds of good photos . The book is arranged by
model categories convenient for reference and the
198 page book surely represents the most complete
and accurate effort possible. Author Doug Bell is
widely recognized as the top Chevrolet authority.
A section on makes closely associated with Chevrolet
is something entirely new, and a particularly fascinating aspect that will be new to nearly all readers. Some 17 makes and their relationship to Chevrolet are covered, ranging from well known cars
like the Little to curious makes such as the Monroe.
A good value at $3.00· postpaid from Floyd Clymer,
222 N. Virgil, Los Angeles 4.
Floyd Clymer's VOLKSWAGEN OWNER HANDBOOK
has just appeared in its 8th edition, and covers the
current 1300 model and all previous "beetles." This
284 page book goes into greater detail than most
owners will need to know, and the text and nearly
500 illustrations make clear every aspect of the vehicle. An excellent bargain at $3.00, this new edition has full color covers and includes Clymer's
famous test report on the VW made over the autobahns and country roads of Germany.

BELOVED METZ
The nimble Metz my uncle owned
was light enough for friction drive.
Those slight inequities not round
where friction met the plate flywheel
were cured, in part, by bantam pounds,
which let Metz climb in creeper speeds
the region's sandy chico mounds.
A car well suited to such deeds!
Out-demonstrating drives through steel
was Unk's delight. But when he bought
a Carter Car, sheer avoirdupois
defeated what were Metz's ploys.
Unk carried frictions in a sack;
asked for, in vain, his money back.
The second owner of the Metz
displayed its stunts, won many bets;
but overreached himself at last
by rigging the reverse too fast.
Third-hand, or fourth, it met a wreck
and we lost track of it from there.
Years later, on another quest
-the restoration of a Bear! saw the Metz as rusted junk
among some scrapped cars oozing gunk.
I looked at Metz parts did the work
of gear transmissions scorned by Unk,
and saw that now its friction was
an old mail-order catalog,
its paper, processed from the log,
set edgewise between driven discs.
Those thousand edges made convection
were, doubtless, bolstered in their work
by whipple-tree and harness section!
CHEV FOUR NINETY: the model number was its price
Remember when t he Chevrolet
"Four-Ninety" touring first appeared?
The cars displayed on Dealer's Row
had bullfrog springs in front, their splay
reached forward to twin axle bolts.
Those bolts looked sturdy, yet they sheared
encountering roads' outsized jolts.
Prim Chevists carried extras in
that catch-all underneath the seat,
and men who wore the desert grin,
upon the floor, among the feet.
That brisk "Four-Ninety" car had verve.
It out-performed the stodgy "T"
with two speeds while the Chev had three.
Many its faults, though quick to serve.
Some owners hauled an "ex" to save
perhaps long walks when that part gave;
an extra clutch (its cone had ripped
out more rear ends than mudholes stripped;
knocked down stout backwalls of garages).
Some hauled a stick for shifter, should
equipment gear-stalk prove poor wood.
A how-to-do-it book (detailed)
was handy with the water pailed,
end-wrenches poised and capscrews clean.
(Those Northway Heads brought on more calls
for crack-repair, than barrooms brawls
with Ketchel there and drunken-mean.)
When GM bought the potent name,
corrected many early faults,
the Chev went on to first-place fame
which sires this season's catapaults.
But some will not forget the car
once harassed leaders as a "crate".
Rest well, "Four-Ninety", heady wine
that needled Fords and overweight
contender cars with shifting-gate.
Your emblem, and adventure, twine.

ORIENTAL BUCKBOARD
Our rural carrier back from war,
brought home an Oriental car;
a slight assembly friction driven,
rear engined. Nine horsepower was given
by one big cylinder. "What rush?"
its slogan as with one-lunged Brush.
By current standards not equipped,
the Oriental drove as shipped.
No top or windshield, but a rash
of pigeon holes made up the dash,
held mail for patrons of the route.
And I can hear our Carrier yet,
-best known as Buckboard Vic the Vet
had fought in China, at Peking,
just holler, with no bell to ring,
that yip Marines made set to shoot,
while boxing letters he would bring.
PERENNIAL
There was a man my neighbor knew
who knew a man of means
that built a carburetor flue
wrung out of gasolines
economy complete. What's more,
its mix was full of beans.
That car it bolted to, I hear,
could twist sound casings from the rims,
yet average 50 miles per quart.
This carb, I ordered; went to court
to get delivery. Then learned
the man of means won't sell to me
because a town's economy
is more important than my yen.
The judge spoke learnedly of tort,
seeing so little gas is burned
by buyers of this thrifty pot
in other states, pump hands stand palely
in tall weeds of each filling station
once served gas guzzlers of our nation,
while shoeless offspring steal for bread.
Vic's car's name didn't mean a thing
-it being made at Waltham, Mass.,
with buckboard frame and little brass.
For Vic, no motor idealist,
the stuff left off was never missed.
The engine never missed frills either.
Put, put, it said when sun was king.
Put, put, it said in whoreson weather.
So made the trips for several years
despite some buggy addicts' fears
they wouldn't get the county weekly
the day of issue.
Vic went cheaply
appointed rounds. Gas mileage got
to thirty-five with roads turned dry
and winds at rest. Top speed was not
sensational in friction "high."
Enough, it gave with puts of pulling
reverberated through each clearing.
There's one departure ere carb's va'le:
This man of means denies my plea,
at least owns no refinery!
A lady poet on the route
would say puts made the welkin ring,
though none' but she could track the thing.
I checked the tale and it rings true,
vouched for by men that witnesses knew
had probity to shame a bond.

for Reno Tourists:
This old map showing an interesting route from
the San Francisco-Oakland bay area to Lake Tahoe,
was originally published in the Oakland TRIBUNE
for Sunday July 19, 1914. It was immediately reprinted by the Feather River Highway Assn. at Oroville, California, and the copy reproduced here was
contributed by National Director George Skopecek.
The map was drawn by TRIBUNE artist Edmund
Crinnion, based on a run made by a Buick Model
25. The mileages are from the Buick's speedometer.
Fred Gross and C. A. McGee of the Howard Automobile Company drove the Buick, which was
equipped with Goodyear tires.

WHEN WAS
DAYTON MOTOR BICYCLE ENGINE IDENTIFIED
Sir:
Last week in my own newspaper I discovered an
ad for an auction for the benefit of the Dexter fire
department. Listed in the items to be sold was a
Smith motor. After work Saturday, my son and I
went down to the auction. We inspected the motor
and discovered that someone had tried to make a
stationary engine out of it, but that basically it was
in its original form, the modifications being on~y
what one could do with a few nuts and bolts. I outbid
my nearest rival and picked the motor up for $11.
My son and I studied the motor carefully, comparing it with other items that we had for my No. 1
Smith motor. It bothers me, however, that there are
certain differences of a kind that suggests the motor
is neither a Smith nor a Briggs and Stratton. On
the top of the carburetor it says Dayton Motor Bicycle. The carburetor is more or less the same as
that on the Smith and approximately the same as
what was used on the Briggs. It is obviously interchangeable with the carburetor I have on the Smith
Motor Wheel. However, nowhere on the motor does
the name Smith appear, specifically not on the cylinder where it appears on the casting of my No. 1
Smith Motor Wheel. Furthermore, the cam shaft
gear is a straight cut gear rather than a helical cut.
The Smith gears are helical cut. The rest of the
specifications seem to be the same, including .the
bronze connecting rods, with one further exceptiOn.
The crank shaft runs in bronze bearings, as contrasted with a kind of roller bearing on the Smith
and later it was used in the Briggs. I never heard
of a Dayton Motor Bicycle. Was there such a thing?
It was clearly of the same design as the Smith,
but was it an effort on the part of Dayton to
copy, or what? I know it is not significant that
the name should be on the carburetor, but on
the other hand, when no name appears anywhere
else, I begin to ask questions.

from a Dayton Motor Bicycle. Letters such as yours
of August 31st make this hobby of mine lots of fun.
I hope that the enclosed photo-copies of a reference from pages 330-334, Vol. IV of AUTOMOBILE
ENGINEERING, 1918 Edition, will answer most of the
questions that you raised. If not please let know.

-R. D. BOWMAN,
Bismark, N. Dak.
• In reply to your letter of November 8th, the Elkhart Carriage and Harness Co. was a relatively small
producer of automobiles. The firm did little national
advertising and I have found comparatively few
references on the make.
From the information that you sent me I am inclined to believe that your Pratt-Elkhart is a 1911
"40" model. There is some evidence that the E. C.
& H . Co. in 1911 furnished bodies at buyer's option
either with or without front doors. I am enclosing
a photo-copy of the 1911 "40" from FARM & FIRE•SIDE for March 10, 1911. I am also enclosing a photocopy of the Crow-Elkhart specifications from page
153 of the CYCLE AND AUTOMOBILE TRADE JOURNAL
for March, 1911. With these for references you
should be able to check details of your car to further
verify the 1911 date.
As Joseph Del Fave's Pratt-Elkhart is probably
much like yours what I had to say in the GAZETTE
for Sept.-Oct. 1960 probably also applies in your case.
You might also write for further information. Mr.
Del Fave's address is 21 West Buffalo, Churchville,
NY. 14428.

SIDE AND HEADLIGHT LENS
COWL EDGING
Arnold Geith of Oak River, Manitoba, Canada says
that he has found a source for smooth, clear, convex
lenses for side lights and so forth. He is using clock
lenses. We've checked out size availability and find
that many sizes can be had and found they come in
graduations of 1/16 of an inch in the popular diameters such as 5 and 11/16. Any good watch repair
shop can order these and we are told the cost to the
repair shop is approximately 40¢ each: about 80¢
each to you plus postage. The lenses are about 1/16
of an inch thick and could cause a breakage problem,
but at that price, not much is lost. Also, it was found
that the clock lenses have a slightly higher crown
than most sidelight lenses hut, with a little work,
they can be used very well.
Geith trimmed the edge off a couple of lenses with
a hand grinding tool fitted with an abrasive wheel.
With the wide selection of lenses to choose from, and
the possibility of a little trimming, just about any
size lens can be made.
Chris says, also that he gets good results in cowl
edging by using commercially prepared split tubing
available at large sheet metal shops or restaurant
supply companies. The tube comes in three or four
sizes and is used on edges of metal sinks and so forth.
To keep the split open when bending it, place short
tabs or pieces in the split. Hold these by tape. Remove these after bending. Tabs should be thicker
than body metal.
REO 1 CYLINDER B&G BODY PLANS
A good clamp to hold a bolt or stud and not spoil
the threads nor mar the shoulder surface is a split
nut. Hacksaw a slot in one of the flats, then screw
the part to be reworked in the nut, and clamp the
nut in a vise on any two of the other five flats. This
does a good job to keep the part from turning while
working on it (see sketch #2).
HEAD GASKET ALIGNMENT
A good tool for every tool box is a pair of bolts
longer than the regular head bolts of your engine.
With the bolt head cut off and a hack saw slot at the
unthreaded end, they make good aligning guides for
the head gasket and head. The slot in the end is
for a screwdriver to remove the studs after some
regular head bolts are installed in adjacent holes
(see sketch #1).
THREAD SAVER
Your technical editor has been compiling a set of
working drawings for the above series of body wood
parts. With the exception of a few items listed below,
they are complete and are being checked by Harry
Bean and a couple of other members against original
bodies. The plans will he available to members at
the cost of reproducing and mailing which should
help to get some more cars on the road. However,
help is needed on the following items and we would
appreciate hearing from those hav ing original items
for patterns. Needed are '06-'08 and '10 dash patterns showing coil bolt hole locations, '08 seat back
patterns with top support bracket holt locations and
'09-'10 running board size and battery box bolt hole
locations.
Write your Technical Editor Vaun Rodgers at 5516
Homer Circle, El Paso, Texas to help get this project
on wheels .
SQUARE HEADED BOLTS
The early, small, square head cap screws which are
almost impossible to find may be duplicated with
keystock and all thread rod, if you don't have a lathe
handy. Select keystockof the ri ght size and cut length s
equal to the head height. Drill and tap these to the

BATTERY CORROSION
From Chris Reimuller of Cherry Valley, California
comes this one, "If you want to get rid of battery
terminal corrosion, clean terminal and dry, paint
with KARO or plain corn syrup - Dries in an hour
or so on a dry day and no more corrosion. It looks
like clear lacquer." Sounds like a sweet solution to a
sour problem.

Clem Kornhoff of Woodridge, New Jersey sent us this.
photo of his father and uncle rebuilding a 1912 Model T
Ford in 1915 . The unit at the front of the engine is part
of a compressed air starter.
Member Robert Telfer of Whittier, Ca lifornia submited this
photo postcard of a car owned by his father-in -law, Rev.
S. D. Rod holm, former President of Grand View College at
Des Moines, Iowa. Notation on the back of the card reads:
"This is a picture of the car for sa le . 2 cyl. 10-12
horsepower, new carburetor, chains, cab les, sprockets,
doub le coi l, timer. Machinery sound, can be run a
while with tires but will soon need new. Tires not
costly and last long. Can be seen at Grand View
Co ll ege, end of car li ne, East 6 and 9th . Will take
first reasonable offer I receive."
Dr Alfred S. Lewerenz, the Gazette Research Historian,
comments : The car is a. Holsman. The locked box on t he
front puts it after 1906 and the wrapped cable drive
places it before 1909. The double landa u bars on the
Victoria top make it a No. 1 0 Runabout. My guess, then,
is that the highwheeler is a 1907- 1908 Model 10 Holsman
Runabout which cost $750 plus $100 for a leather Victoria
top with rubber lap apron. (Inform ation from a 1907 Holsman broc hu re. )

Member Fred Bauer of Phoenix, Arizona sent us these photos
he secured from Fred Kennedy of Flagstaff. Pictured in
the car is Kennedy's brother Raymond, onetime Overland
dealer in Glendale, California. The photos, taken in about
1915, show the racing conversion of a 1909 shaft drive
Locomobile. A "modern" touch is provided by the "S&M"
spotlight mounted on the cowl and perhaps powered by
a battery carri.e d in the wooden tool box back of the gas
tank . These powerful lights, made in Lo s Angeles, were
quite popular about 1915 for use on racy-type cars. Tires
and rims on the Locomobile, too, have been "modernized."
The ad from the December 1908 Country Life in America
reproduced here shows the standard Locomobil e "30" .
