Down in Ohio and Indiana were Winton and Haynes; Duryea was in Pennsylvania; over in Michigan were Olds, Ford, Maxwell, with the brilliant Brush, dreaming mechanical dreams; in New York Walker kept to the faith of the motor-car. At that time some of the giants of to-day were outside the motor fold.
Crimmins shifted his cud with great satisfaction at this uninterrupted flow of loquacity and brilliant humor.
