Sound Your Sparton: 1918
California in 1918. "Chalmers touring car on dunes." Along with a reminder from the Sparton auto-accessories company to sound your horn -- branding disguised as a safety message. 5x7 glass negative by Christopher Helin. View full size.
Sparks-Withington
Sparks-Withington Corp. made its Sparton-brand "Motor Horns" in Jackson, Michigan. More here and here.
[In 2009 Sparton Corp. moved its headquarters to Illinois, and its manufacturing to Florida and Vietnam. Two years later, its abandoned plant in Jackson was torched by a teenage arsonist and burned to the ground. - Dave]
Downhill
Those old mechanical brakes SLOW YOU DOWN until you stop. We have a '24 Model T coupe that my wife refuses to drive because she insists on having a car with BRAKES!!! (The horn works sooooo---, you really don't need BOTH)
Choose Your Auto Accessories Wisely!
Those sounding a Klaxon are ineluctably doomed to perish in a flaming motor wreck.
