The original cache description reads as follows:
"Quick and easy P&G. Check out the history of this place. (contributed by Mark Howell)
It was the Arbenz furniture factory before it was the Arbenz car factory, which really wasn't as much of a changeover as you would imagine since car frames and bodies were mostly wooden at the time. Horseless carriage was a good description since they basically dropped in a little engine which was made some place else, as did the Logans. Neither of these two car manufacturer's had an assembly line, which was years in the future and in Detroit. So don't expect to find a photo of Arbenzes or Logans rolling off a a "line". Yearly production probably peaked in the double digits, never in the hundreds or certainly not in the thousands. There were no stamping mills, no welders, hardly any electric lights in the 'factories'. the cars couldn't drive far and they didn't last long, they were more of a novelty and a rich man's toy in the 1900-1910 decade these were made. "Highways" between towns would not be paved for another 20-30 years yet (because railroads were king) and to be able to drive one of these cars outside of town was a bit of an adventure, a trip to the other side of the same county would be considered a rare adventure and would result in several tire changes due to flats. Every little town had a livery stable with a good tinker and there were many hundreds of small carmakers, there was already a well-established carriagemaking tradition in place and those already had brakes, so they just had to drop in a little engine (electric, steam, or Gas), add a steering stick and they were good to go. Just not very far.
By the beginning of WW I (for the rest of the world, not the U.S.), Arbenz was making a slicker product, this shows their 1914 integrated transmission. (see photo for the styles they were producing)
