Lincoln County Auto Owners, 1916
The Troy Free Press, Troy, MO, April 28, 1916, page 8, columns 1-3.


[Transcriber's Note:  I assume the number before the name is the license plate number, but the article really doesn't say. Also note these aren't in strictly alphabetical order - the As are together and the Bs, but not within each letter.]
