September 24, 1898
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, Sept. 24, 1898 This is a very significant magazine in the history of automobiles, as the noted reference work "Kane's Famous First Facts" states that the mentioned advertisement was the very first automobile ad ever published in America.
A back page advertisement is headed: "A DELIGHTFUL DRIVE" and describes the fine features of the "Winton Motor Carriage" manufactured by "The Winton Motor Carriage Co., Cleveland, Ohio".
The advertisement is 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches and includes a small but nice engraving of the car. This ad first appeared in the July 30 issue, this date being its 8th appearance.
Complete in 16 pages, irregular at the blank spine margin from disbinding, otherwise in nice condition.
