set OF wheels were made by hand
in a small blacksmith shop located
at No. 90 Jay-st. Mr.. Sewell gave
the curing OF the hickory spokes
and the selection Of rubber cush-
ions his personal supervision. The
first year OF business activity was
rather, Giscouragirg as the pur-
chase of motor truck called for
quite an investment, and as "Sewell
equipment" meant an additional out
lay OF money, orders were few and
far between.
All inventions must pass through
an experimental stage and Seweil
wheels were no exception TO the
rule. II was generally conceded
that a wheel designed to absorb the
jars and shocks. and protect the
motor mechanism, ana other vital
parts of car should prove a good
investment. but II was difficult to
influence some Of the larger firms
TO give the wheel a trial
II is human nature to be guided
more or less by what others are
doing, and when firm after firm In
Detroit and other cities began put
ting Sewell wheels on trucks al
ready in service and specifying
"Sewell equipment" on cew trucks
purchased, orders came thick and
fast from every section, proving
that the best evidence or merit is
recognition OF It.
The company was handicapped
during the first few years for lack
Of manufacturing facilities, and in
April, 1912, a 100000 company was
organized and began TO expand by
leaps and bounds. II has been said
that Imitation is the most sincere
form OF fiattery.' and If true, Sewell
wheels have received their share, as
many patent wheels have been
brought out, but for some reason
did not stand the grueling test OF
service, and after a time were taken
OF the market. II is another case
OF THE survival of the flttest," and
1t should be so, as "Sewell" built
into cushion wheels frolu the very
be ginning. the vital elements neces-
sary 10 meet the demands OF the
daily grind OF hauling capacity
loads over all kinds of roads and
they are entitled to tho reward of
recognition as originators Of cush-
ion wheels.
Eight years devoted to manufac-
turing and selling one type Of wheel

The blocks are "A inches long, six
