Shown here is the old stable shortly after someone hit it with a motor vehicle in 1976. This venerable old place put many a salesman and peddler that came in on the railroad with a lot of their goods on a horse or a horse and buggy to go door to door in town and in the countryside to hawk their goods and services.

(How many other liveries were there in Beavertown? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

The first was the Eureka Motor Buggy Company in 1907. The Kearns car (and truck) companies followed after this.

Charles Aumiller had Hudson and Essex dealerships in the 1920s.

Max Kearns dealt in Nash (autos) and Diamond T (trucks) in the 1930s.

These were the new car dealers prior to Yetter’s Chevrolet in 1949.
