ONE HUNDRED SEV-
ENTY-F|YE AUTOS
Owned by Citizens Of Webster City
Forty Fords-Thirty-nine
Overlands.

A list of the automobile owners
and their cars, compiled by the
Freeman-Tribune with the aid OF
the proprietors of the various auto
mobile garages of the city, shows
that no less than one hundred and
seventy-five automobiles are owned
and driven in this city. Among
these, thirty-seven different makes
of gas cars are represented and
three different electrics. Of the gas
cars the Fords take the lead, there
being forty of these popular cars in
the list. The Overlands come in a
close second with thirty-nine in line
and the Buick claims third place
with a list of eighteen, while the
Cadillac and Mitchell fight for
fourth place with eight each in their
ranks. The Marion and Hudson
number five each. Stanley Steamer,
E. NJ. F. and Chalmers, four; Mo-
line, three; Maxwell, Krit, Oakland,
Maytag, Studebaker, Lambert, Paige,
Hupmobile and Waverly Electric, two
each while the following bring up the
rear of this procession in single
bliss: Anhut, Apperson, Auburn,
Rambler, Stoddard-Dayton, Jackson,
Stutz, Reliance, Mason, American,
White, Regal, Fuller, Galloway.
Everett, Michigan, R. c. H., Column
bia Electric, Woods Electric and
Avery truck.
If these one hundred and seven
ty-five cars were in one procession,
end to end, they would make line
nearly five blocks long or half
mile. If formed at the city hall the
auto parade would extend west to
Grove street without break, or If
started at The Wilson corner would
reach south to the hospital.
