More About BrattIeboro' S Pioneer Auto.

The interesting sketch in last weeks
issue of The Reformer entitled Pioneer
Auto a Brattleboro Car has caused con-
siderable discussion as it is thought that
a further account of the history of that
same car built in 1887 might be given.
In fact, reader of the article is very curl
Gus to know if it is possible that the car
of '37 and the one now operated by DR..
G.. F. Pentecost are one and the same.
He quotes from the article that "the car
riage was an ordinary wagon or buggy

ture engine connected with the wheels.
1t made as much noise as a threshing
machine or reaper Now just how this
particular "whizz wagon" came into pos
session-if it did-of one of our residents
is not known but the transition would
make very interesting reading and the
idea might be worth while for our lovers
of curios to investigate, according to an
interested reader.
