Shown here is the Mr. Dick Sedgewick of Dover, NH and his magnificent auto made in Beavertown in 1908. He and Charles Kearns of Tuscon AZ, the son of the designer and builder of the car, Max Kearns, came to the B.V.H.S. Grand Reunion and then went on to the Beaver Fair where this photo was taken on September 23, 1995.

(What other product, besides buggies, wagons, cars, and trucks did Max Kearns design and manufacture? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

Mr. I. P. Haines had a confectionary store here in the early 1920s. Mel Bobb had it as a restaurant and store, (and operated by Charles Bobb for a short while); later taken over by Nelson Fitzgerald, followed by Charles Walker, who sold out his interest to Clarence Bailey. Thereafter the front part was used for a few months as a small store, but otherwise was vacant until the bank went into business.
