A welcome to Garford and to Gale...

Rare 'new' makes keep on rolling in. Here the Six of the Garford Company from Elyria, Ohio (see for a little more Ben Mancine's pages (click). Do you know of one that is still around? We are not sure of the year of this one but the cyclops should be one of the last years , 1911, 1912 maybe. Price was $ 2750 and as Garford claimed this was "about half of the other high grade six cylinder cars." It didn't help them, in 1912 it was all over.
Another name that came in last week was 'Gale', the car from Galesford ...er Galesburg, Illinois. Sent to us by William. They were made by Western Tool Works and according to Kit Foster they had a Maxwell-ish look (Garford illustration, coll. Horwitz)
