1891-1929

  Written by Royal Feltner

 

 

In 1905, a reporter for the Automotive Industry Magazine was covering the Boston Automobile Show and was trying to desctibe a certain model. This is what he wrote: "Almost all cars look so much alike these days that No One can tell the difference in them from a little distance, The only notable feature that I can see on this car is the the radiator" There were over a hundred exhibitors at the show. As much as I would like to help, I cannot tell what a model is by looking at a picture.

In every industry, there are scoundrels who would go to any length to abscond funds from unsuspecting victims. The greatest one was E.J. Pennington who was a mastermind at deception. Read about him and who he fleeced here in this country and England
