HORSELESS BUGGY
The great-great-great-grandfather of a lot of automobiles is still on the streets of Seaside, Oregon, a Pacific resort. An automobile of the vintage of 1904 snorts and wheezes around the city to the wonderment of all. The machine, a two-cylinder Black, until recently was stored in an old barn. It had not been touched for 20 years until a crew of mechanics worked on it for Mrs Edna Dawson, its owner. The machine is little more than an old-fashioned, one-seated buggy. In fact, all it needs to complete the picture is a pair of shafts and a horse. In spite of its looks the ancient motor will generate five horsepower, when properly warmed up, and, with coaxing, the contraption will go “almost 25 miles pel’ hour.”
