Description
"Brush and Cole automobiles are being unloaded from freight cars by the Portland Company's electrically operated track crane. In 1910, the Portland Company began selling these two makes of new automobiles as well as the Thomas. The Brush runabouts shown here were "the cars for the common man." They cost only $385 each and had wooden axles." --Fletcher, David H. 'The Portland Company 1846-1982.' Charleston, S.C. : Arcadia Pub., 2002. 84.
