History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

Nice Pierce in NY. TH, is this about 1910 model 38?

 

I'm listening to a cord wood saw like this one which being driven be this steam engine as we speak. They are cutting firewood at the farm next door and I have mine 10 cords stacked and all ready to go......

 

Classy photograph! Somehow, I have never been able to shake the visual impression that many Locomobile models at least vaguely resembled steam rail locomotives. Is it just me?

 

A LOCO gone loco !!!


The offending Locomobile

"Resolved: That the running of horseless carriages
be prohibited within the limits of the village of
Mackinac." — Mackinac Island Village Council, July 6, 1898

This resolution by the village council ensued after an early motorist
on the island spooked several horses, resulting in horses injured and
carriages damaged. Sincere THANKS to: Michigan Historical Center,
Department of History, Arts and Libraries, State of Michigan.
