Early Owner's Manuals

Just curious, does anyone know WHEN Packard started printing owner's manuals?

I know the 1905 parts book is on this site, and the 1908 manual. But did they have something for the (1900) Model B for example, of which they sold 49 units? Hard to imagine some written reference did not exist.

Robert J. Neal published the history of Packard's owner's manuals in a two-part article in The Packard Cormorant #146 and #147 in 2012. The earliest manual he found was from 1906. The documents were named Instruction Books from 1906 to 1910.

The earliest I have found and own is from 1904. I have a print ad from 1899 and some other early 1900's as well.
