Wabash Valley Motor Co. of which A. Clyde Stoltz was part owner.

The April 15th blog entry asked for old auto- related photos. B MacKenzie responded with the two above. The top photo is of his grandfather, John M. Brooks in a Model T Ford. The second is of the Wabash Valley Motor Co.; A. Clyde Stoltz was his great uncle but is NOT the gentleman pictured.Thanks for this great photos.


We found a few more in our photograph collection.

From the Wiswall Buchanan Collection circa 1914

John A Lahr and Family, 1910 Lawrence County History and Biography Book
