Title

C.E. Cless' Ford Demonstrator

Description

Pictured are Archie Cless, Carl Parr, and Irene Howard in possibly the first automobile seen in Rossville, Kansas. From the March 14, 1902, issue of the Rossville News, Mr. U. G. Stewart wrote, "Mr. George Burghart of the Burghart Cigar Company of Topeka was in our city Tuesday with the automobile. Several of our citizens took a ride in the vehicle, and we expect to see automobiles a common luxury among our people in the near future."

Note: This picture was in the 1971 Centennial Booklet with the above information. We believe this information is in error. Notified by a local citizen, Daryl Dannefer, that the picture is a 1908 Ford Model T and has nothing to do with news article quoted in Centennial book, we did our research and agree with him.
