This 1905 advertisement promotes the Knox Pioneer, an air-cooled automobile from the Knox Automobile Company of Springfield, Massachusetts. Air cooling was a deliberate alternative to the water radiators used by most early automobile makers, which meant no water to boil over or freeze and fewer parts to maintain. In the early 1900s, automakers were competing over reliability as cars moved from novelty to everyday transportation, and ads like this one tried to persuade buyers that their engineering solved practical problems. Knox later became better known for its heavy trucks, so this advertisement captures the company during its passenger-car years.
