The album opens with a photograph of a Pabst beer truck and continues with a wide variety of passenger and commercial vehicles most with the names of the companies painted on the sides. Among the commercial vehicles depicted are trucks operated by Marshall Field Red Rock beverages the Birmingham Coca-Cola Bottling Company Pocahontas Coal and B.F.

Boston: The Barta Press 1897. 1st printing. Presumed to be the first printed brochure issued by Whitney for his recently formed "Motor Wagon Company.". Printed card-stock folded once vertically. Light signs of use. A bit of age-toning. VG. Unpaginated though 4 pages. Pages 1 & 4 with specs & performance date. Pages 2 & 3 each with a b/w photographic image depicting the Whitney 'motor wagon'. Oblong format: 3-1/4" x 5-3/8" <br/><br/>"George Eli Whitney an early pioneer in automotive history 'was tinkering with steam cars before the turn of the 20th century. While others turned their attention to the new-fangled gasoline engine he stayed with steam founding the Whitney Motor Wagon Company. He designed and built a succession of steam-driven carriages starting with he believed the first steam-driven car ever built. Many of the ideas that found their way into the steam automobile are attributable to him. The Stanley Brothers famous founders of the Stanley Steamer sought advice from him and used some of his ideas in their first cars.'" Whitney Research Group. According to Britain's Society of Automotive Historians Whitney "completed his first automobile in 1896 and founded the Whitney Motor Wagon Company the following year. Five cars had been built by the end of 1897 and although all his steamers had the common feature of a vertical two-cylinder engine attached to the boiler because Whitney was an 'inveterate tinkerer' no two were exactly the same. He devoted more of his energy to patenting his inventions and pursuing others over alleged infringement of his ideas than he did to actually making automobiles and he left the industry soon after the turn of the century." No "Whitney Motor Wagon" listings found on OCLC. No George Whitney literature found in Romaine. A rare item documenting early American automotive history. The Barta Press unknown books
