CAR MADE Ar BADGER PLANT
Low Rakish Looking Car is Given First
Tryout and it Proves a Success Com
bines Beauty of Auto with Speed
and Economy of the Motorcycle.


Kenosha promises to be a pioneer city
in the new field Of the automobile in
dustry in the manufacture of the
S'True Cycle Car, the first model Of
which attracted lot of attention on
the streets of the city on Thursday
night. The new car is the latest de-
velopment of the automobile industry
and while there has been very limit
ed use Of the cars in this country they
have attained great popularity in Eu-
rope, particularly in England and
France. The car seen in Kenosha on
Thursday evening was the first success
full American type of this sort of car
to be turned out and it was built at
the plant Of the Badger Brass Manu-
featuring company under the personal
supervision of r. FL. Welles and L. J.
Keck, officials of the company, who
after long personal investigation and
study of the question with correspon-
dents in Europe started the manufac-
ture of the model. The manufacture
Of the cars has not as yet been de-
fnitely decided upon but agents from
this and other countries have shown
SO much enthusiasm over the Keno
sha model that it is declared that TO-
900 of them could be put on the mar
Let at the present time if it were posi-
bic to manufacture them. The little
car has many advantages.
It is long, low, narrow an akish
built and has provision for ouo or two
passengers. The passenger occupying
the rear seat has charge of the driving
or operation of the car. The merits
claimed for it are simplicity, speed and
small initial and up-keep cost. Tt COM
bines the safety and cleanliness Of the
most expensive automobile with the
speed and economy of the motor cycle.
The car is driven with long adjusta-
bic belt and pulleys, the drive pulley
receiving its power from a two cylinder,
air-cooled 10 horsepower motor installed
in the front portion of the car.
The little car has thirty-six inch tread
and 104 inch wheel base. 1t has four
wire wheels twenty-eight inches in
diameter and a particularly easy
spring Arrangement. The machine will
be put to the hardest possible actual
road tests SO as totshow just what it
can do. 1t is estimated that the little
cars may be manufactured in quantities
SO that they can be put on the market
at cost Of $500 or less.
This latest addition to The automobile
output Of Kenosha attracted wide at
tention on the streets Thursday night
The model was driven by R. H. Welles
and he gave several demonstrations Of
what can be done with it.
It is probable that some decision viii
be reached as to the manufacture Of
the cars within the next few days. The
possibility Of the erection Of a large
factory in Kenosha for the manufacture
of the cars is not remote one.
