A Page From The Thompson Auto Album HORSES ' HEADS AND GAS TANKS The first gas buggies that appeared on North American streets strayed little in design from the horse drawn type. They were complete in buggy detail down to the whip socket which more often than not contained a whip. It wasn ' ta bad idea because the cows and other farm animals of the day had not been told that this coughing freak had the right-of-way and that they should move off. And there was another eventuality. A horse, after all, may have to be hitched to the front to get the buggy and its contents home. How was Dobbin doing in these perilous times. The long suffering servant of man would have none of it. He didn ' t like the noise and reacted naturally by taking to the hills. Families on their way to church often ended up having the ride of their liveswhen thefaithfulmare was scared out of her wits by some upstart excursionist. One inventor thought he could help by designing an auto body, the front portion of which terminated in the shape of a horse ' s head. Unimaginative we think, because had he chosen the other end of the horse, the frightened animals would have at least thought that this noisy contraption was going away. One good feature of the idea, the inventory stated, ... the device could also be used to hold gasoline. Well . . . this man ' s device never gained popularity because it soon became evident that the horse was losing the race and the cows and farm animals had been finally told to stay off the roads. Out of all this has grown a tremendous car manufacturing complex and its multitude of feeder industries. Thompson is proud of the port it plays both in original equipment manu- facture and the replacement industry. THOMPSON PRODUCTS For over thirty years a leader in Canadian Industry.
