Madison Man Had
First Auto License

Madison, Wis. - 49, To A. E.
Zimmerman, local man, goes the dis
tinction of having had the first auto
mobile license issued in the state of
Wisconsin. To Ford automobile
goes the distinction Of having been
the first automobile registered in this
state.
According to George A. Brown. chief
of division of records and elections in
the office of the secretary of state,
the first automobile licensed in Wis
consin was ten horsepower, pas
senger Ford touring car. The aged
records also show that this car was
later transferred to Anton Freedl, also
of Madison.
Until few years ago it was pos
sible for an automobile owner, to have
the license on one car transferred to
another without paying any additional
fees. For this reason there are shown
many transfers of automobiles to diff
ferent parties who then did not have
the license renewed. s;
