Very quiet here on the campus of My Midwest. Usually up and about early with a quick breakfast followed by a neighborhood walk in preparation for an upcoming memorial Preble County wander and service in honor of Liah.
The local early morning walk is an opportunity to briefly escape from the many problems facing the country here and abroad.
On returning, it's time for a fresh cup of coffee, crank up the computer, check out the local / national news and plan the tasks for the rest of the day.
Today's post will mark the last - for now - capture from the earlier Union City wander.
Indiana has a rich history of early vehicle manufacturing. One such was the Union City Carriage Manufacture Company.
The company was founded in Union City, Indiana in 1875. It made carriages. William C. Elston bought into the company in 1890. Four years later he was president and treasurer. John A. M. Adair was Vice President.
In 1916 the production of automobiles began. There was only one model - Union City Six. It was an open touring car with a six-cylinder engine that was specified with 48/52 hp, a maximum speed of about 55 miles per hour and wheelbase of about 10 feet.
Motor vehicle production ended in 1916. A total of eight motor vehicles were built.
