St. Louis was the epicenter of much of this for a number of reasons. Geographically, St. Louis was the center of the nation, connected by the vast Missis- sippi waterway that connected north and south, the Illinois River that connected to Chicago and the Ohio which took commerce eastward and as the gateway to the rapid- ly expanding west, the Missouri River. Railroads bridged the gap from East to West. The Eads bridge meant the Mississippi River was on longer a natural barrier even though large rail ferries had conquered the crossing. The 1904 World’s Fair brought all eyes on St. Louis from across the globe. One of the inventions show- cased there was the automobile. Even then a huge cultural shift was occurring. 1904 perhaps cemented the presence of the auto- mobile in St. Louis. The introduction, development, and use of the automobile was clearly influencing almost every aspect of society and culture.

  • Early Automobiles
    Early Automobiles A History in Advertising Line Art, 1890-1930 Jim Harter San Antonio, Texas 2015 The Electrobat (1895), America’s first successful electric automobile. Largely forgotten, the Electrobat was America’s first successful electric automobile. A collaboration be- tween mechanical engineer Henry G. Morris and chemist Pedro G. Salom, it was built in Philadelphia. Previously, both men had been involved with battery-powered streetcars. Building a prototype vehicle, they received a patent on August 31, 1894. Commercial production began in 1895. Their enterprise became the Morris & Salom Electric Carriage & Wagon Co. in 1896. An Electrobat was entered in America’s first of- ficial horseless carriage race, Chicago’s Times-Herald competition of Nov. 28, 1895. Unfortunately, icy road conditions prevented it from finishing the race, which was won by a gas-powered Duryea. The Electrobat used in that event was a two-passenger runabout. It had 40-inch diameter wheels in front, and 28-inch in the rear. Powered by two 1.5-hp Lundell motors, its driving gears were attached to the front axle. In good conditions on a smooth road it could reach speeds of 20 mph. On September 7, 1896 an Electrobat did much better, placing second, ahead of five Duryea vehicles, in the Narragansett Park Race held during Rhode Island’s State Fair. Electrobat manufacture ceased in 1897, as the company shifted production to electric-powered hansom cabs.

The two are Snowmobiles and ATVs, the latter standing for All-Terrain-Vehicles There have been reported to be some fifty brands of Snowmobiles on the market, and an article in Machine Design for December 11, 1969, gives a listing of 35 makes of ATVs. There is a current book covering only snowmobiles, and at least one magazine. It is hoped that some member of the Society is carefully chronicling the growth of these two types of vehicles, because the development of these will be of some · importance in the future. Both these types, while aimed at solving transportation problems of quite different characteristics, have only recently become of interest to large corporations, although their predecessors reach far back into the beginnings of the automotive industry. To date, none of the automobile manufacturers have shown an interest in either of these kinds of vehicles.
