Thanks for posting the Schebler info Cotten! I took a little break from the Christmas chaos and it was very enjoyable to sit and read such literature. It's invaluable info when it come to carb identification! I found the zoom application on your thumbnails made it plenty clear for viewing.

Merry Christmas!

Once again, it is Tommo whom we should thank for this piece.
(Meanwhile, I curse my dial-up ISP that makes uploads so difficult..)

Pages 7 through 10;

On page 9 Tommo notes adapters to fit Scheblers on to English motorcycles, and even cars.
He raises the question as to whether these were Mr. Niven's creations, or imported.

The final installment...

In review,

The Cleveland's Model AL on page four comes as a shock to me, as I thought that if I focused solely upon American marques, I would never have to deal with such a thing.

One of the more mysterious items, (to me anyway), is the 'vertical' De Luxe, for which there is no illustration on page six. I do not know if I have encountered them or not!

Adaptibility is stressed at several places.
And embracing all cars, trucks, boats, cycles, tractors, stationary, and fire engine applications would undoubtedly require some 'universal' carb models.
Tommo suggests that the DLX 7 is probably such unit.

I just dub all mystery carbs to be "export" models!

Schebler Catalog

I recognized the cartoon on the last page posted as a "Abe Martin" cartoon by Frank Hubbard of Brown County, Indiana. Schebler as other advertisers, enlisted the humorist to gain attention to their products. The following is from one of the many Google search results. The Wheeler-Schebler factory building in Indianapolis is still standing at the intersection of Barth and Sanders Streets in the "Fountain Square" area. I believe that the W-S factory building eventually became the Linkert carburetor factory.

Throughout the early 20th century, Frank McKinney "Kin" Hubbard (1868-1930) was one of the most beloved figures of American popular culture. For nearly three decades, Hubbard's daily cartoon, "Abe Martin," ran in the Indianapolis News, and over 300 daily newspapers across the United States. Among Hubbard's friends and admirers were such luminaries as humorist Will Rogers, novelist Meredith Nicholson, and poet James Whitcomb Riley.
