Woods' Moto-Vehicles, the subject of this advertisement, came from the Woods Motor Vehicle Company of Chicago, a maker best known for electric automobiles. Around the turn of the twentieth century, electric cars competed in American cities with gasoline and steam models, and sellers promoted them for quiet running and easy starting, since they did not need the hand crank that early gasoline engines required. The piece was produced by the Fischer Equipment Company, and it offers a window onto how early automakers courted a public still deciding which kind of motor to trust.
