Editor’s note We’re continuing our tradition of taking a look back each Saturday at some of the important, interesting or even odd events as they were reported during the same week throughout the years, along with interesting advertising features from years gone by.
This week in 1912, the Hillsboro Dispatch reported the prediction that 65,000 automobiles would be licensed in Ohio, with the state registrar commenting “there seems to be no abatement in the interest in automobiles.”
The Hillsboro Implement Company had the new 1912 Maxwell Mascotte touring car, advertised as the car for the American working man looking for a car under $1,000. The Hillsboro dealer had it for $980.
