Small World! Who knew!

Although this isn't an ad I think it will count. I first saw this ticket 30'ish years ago and decided a couple weeks ago to see if the guy still had it. Well he did and he decided to sell it. Ya just never know.

25 cents and the ladies were free. They knew how to do it!

The 1913 Kissel racer was from the Hartford museum

[pem]

In September of 2008 my father & I visited the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford for the Southeastern Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Fame show. During the late 60's - early 70's we attended all of the Milwaukee Mile USAC races and many nights at Hales Corners, love the Wisconsin modifieds and sportsman cars of that era and saw the transition to late model stock cars at Hales.

Hey Dave, I was on Fuzzy Fassbemder's pit crew for one season and we raced at Hales Corner every Saturday night. It was 1970/71. He had the Gremlin body on his modified. Only lasted one season. Way to much drinking involved. After the races we stopped at Shakey's Pizza for pizza and beer.

1913 Kissel Car factory racer at SE Iowa Red flag tour

Hartford has a car museum in the old Libby's canning factory. It has quite a few Kissel kars. It's quite a nice museum.

Dick, have you seen the July 1910 Milwaukee Journal Comet Motorcycle Co. ad with accompanying short paragraph? Granted this is a "factory" ad and not a dealer ad. The ad makes mention of spring frame & spring fork, single cylinder 40 Horse Power. LOL, I think the typesetter forgot to place a period between the 4 and 0.

No, I haven't ever seen that. It must have been just before they closed the doors. Ya, 40hp is pretty funny. That typesetter needs better glasses, Thanks

Where the car is parked was the location of Walter & Wittig on Lovers Lane at N. Main St. This is the only ad I ever found for Comet Motorcycles. Lover Lane is now called Union St. In the Wisconsin registrations there were a number of Comet owners in the Hartford area. Where are those bikes now? I tracked down relatives who had no idea their ancestors owned Comet and Indian motorcycles which is pretty typical. Nobody had any photos.

Typical roads for 1910. Imagine what it was like when it rained or snowed. Water tower in the back ground was for the Kissel Motor Car Co.
