Thought you might want to see Packard man, Alvan T. Fuller's first newspaper ad for sales... but it wasn't for Packards. Mr. Fuller was in the bicycle business before he got into the Packard automobile business. The year was 1899.
And were those bicycles he sold branded Packard? No. But he did sell Eclipse, Columbia, Orient and Victor brands. Uhhh, sorry Schwinn worshippers and sorry Packard bicycle yarn spinners.
