Reflections: Moving from the horse to the automobile
KP Click driving a Hupmobile in Cardington about 1912.
Reading the history of Cardington village, I find the village moved easily from depending on the horse for transportation to the automobile in 1911-12.
The first two cars in the village were owned by Dr. G. Gregory and Dr. Green.
Here is the “rest of the story.” It was July 22, 1912, when Jacob A. and Andrew L. Click (father and son) bought the old Shaw Tenement building on West Main Street under the business name of The Click Brothers Automobile Company.
This was located west of the railroad tracks on the north side of West Main Street. It was razed that same year and a new cement block building was erected by the Cardington Cement Tile and Block Co. and was to show the efficiency and beauty of a block building in the business district.
