Scope and content
A 1925 Chandler closed automobile was on display at Richardson Motor Co. in July of 1924. The vehicle was balanced on beams and bore the sign "1925 Chandler Equal Weight on all Four Wheels." It was kept constantly in motion by the use of a sewing machine motor. Hundreds of passersby stopped by the sales window of Richardson Motors, 734 Broadway, to view the unusual attraction. The demonstration sought to prove that the car would ride smoother, have less skid, and would be easier to handle. The car's manufacturer, the Chandler Motor Co., was the largest auto maker in Cleveland in the early 1920's. G11.1-042 (TDL 7-13-24, 12-G)
