Now to Brady, (Platte area) Nebraska and December of 1938. The publication was called Brady Vindicator Industrial Magazine and guess what? Packard bicycles were there! But as loyal fans of this thread, you knew this– right?
It seems that Mills Cycle Shop of Platte was selling Packard bicycles. Of course with no images included in the article, there is no way to know exactly which bicycle company was manufacturing these Packards. But in this case, we suspect these were Schwinn-Built Packards.
Ohhhhh. And need we say that there is no mention of Packard Motor Car Company and no mention of a "sweetened deal" on an an automobile? Hmmmm.
