An historically important survivor dealership sales brochure and album for the short-lived Victor W. Page Motors Corp. developed and built with the patented innovations of Victor W. Page 1885-1947 a pioneering automotive and aeronautical specialist and inventor. Following World War I Page left his position as the chief Aeronautical Engineering Officer in France to found the Victor W. Page Motors Corp. intended to produce over 300000 automobiles a year including the Aero-Type Four featuring his patented air-cooled motor suspension system chassis and cutaway seats. By January 1922 he was able to exhibit at the New York Auto Show with original photographs included in this dealership album of two couple sedans two convertible speedsters a display chassis and a body for the Aero-Type Four. The automobiles targeted the $ 1250- $ 1750 price range and featured steel dixc wheels contoured shell hood and fenders built with liberal amounts of aluminum.The first 15 automobiles were built in a Liberty Engine Factory including the ground-breaking 30 horsepower 4-cylinder engine featured his patented tilted steering wheel system and disc brakes. The body and chassis were built in Farmingdale MA and the engines were assembled in New York for an eventual production of just 15 cars and none survived after the liquidation auction in 1927. Page had prior experience with automobiles and had actually built 25 total cars with his earlier company the Page Motor Vehicle Co. of Providence RI which closed at the entry of the U.S. into World War I. Page in his second company as shown here intended a huge stock offering but unfortunately trusted the less than scrupulous grifter Charles Beadon to sell the stock whose salesmen ended up embezzling all dividends and profits. Some of the eary investors traveled to the Stamford CT plant to get their money back and Beadon sued him. After years of litigation the company was dissolved and all properties equipment and assets sold off. Unfortunately none of the Victor W. Page automobiles survive and this cataloguer could find no similar surviving piece of sales literature or photographs as this item. Lazarnick 1879-1955 was a pioneering automotive photographer whose images captured the development of motor vehicles form the early 1900’s to the late 1920’s and covered many of the Vanderbilt Cup Races photographed the presidential campaigns of Taft McKinley & Roosevelt as well as capturing such notables as Steinmetz Edison Oldfield and Rickenbacker.

Lightly aged but very good.The Parlor Motor Coach was the finest in bus travel at the time. It came out in 1925 and it's special feature was an upper deck which could hold 22 passengers and had a removable wicker roof there was a large windshield up there so that the travelers wouldn't get their hair mussed. As the trip to FIFTEEN days demand for seats also made of wicker on the upper level went for a premium. It must have been a bumpy ride as the vehicle rode only 22 inches from the ground. the middle of the flyer is a list of the stops along the way and it is extensive. O'Donnell-Murray Tours unknown

The image shows elaborate floral decoration well-dressed festival “Princesses” and winged Mercury and staff above “Speed” spelled out.

One large silver gelatin photograph sized 14 x 23.5 in. w/o photographer’s imprint or markings on thick matte finish photo paper very very slight closed tear at lower fore-edge neatly repaired in original glass & frame now w/ archival foam core backing. This wonderful image graced the offices of the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal Co. in downtown Portland out of the Union State Depot. Following World War I over 135 motor buses and automobiles operated over 16 different routes within a 125-mile radius of Oregon. Before the Oregon Auto Stage Terminal was built countless unlicensed and registered companies stationed themselves at corners hotels and spots throughout the city resulting in many complaints from both tourists and residents. The OAST Co. established a well organized system that allowed more than 10000 passengers to be carried every year and these Fageol buses along with White Co. coaches were especially popular on the windy and picturesque route along the Columbia River Highway. We could find no similar surviving promotional company photo for the Company. See: Earl Brownlee Various Makes of Busses are Used with Marked Success. . .

Also detailed are the developments of hydroelectric dams in the region; the newly opened Pacific Coast Silk Mill of the Pioneer Silk Co.; the massive reclamation project in Malheur County; the Trowbridge West-Made furniture Co. and rapid growth of paper companies.
