Sobre este item
Buffalo, NY: George Werner, 1901. First edition, Oblong quarto. [12] pp. Printed on rectos only. Illustrated. Publisher's string-tied blue wrappers lettered in silver. Very good; no real issues.This pamphlet is composed of two illustrations of Werner's Speed Wagons (one in color) and the remaining pages tout the excellence of his vehicles. The first wagon shown is labeled No. 2: Regular Speed Wagon and the second is labeled No. 3; Speed Wagon on Wheels. Presumably George had already retired No. 1 (in all three copies located by OCLC there are six leaves present, as here). Werner's speed wagons could probably outrun any vehicle on a 1901 road. They had tubular steel running gear, wire wheels, and pneumatic tires. George Werner founded the family carriage business soon after the Civil War, and produced vehicles for wealthy Buffalonians until 1904.
