It was the new purchase of Mr. T. S. Matheson who could be seen speeding around the city.  
 
It was an Olds runabout that ran smoothly under the expert management of its owner. This car was one of the few horseless carriages making there initial appearances on Brandon’s streets.  
 
In rapid succession, it was noted how Mr. E.L. Christie purchased a Ford Auto upon which he intended to do some speeding on local streets. This machine was one of the first cars imported by a resident of Brandon. Other orders were placed soon after, and by the end of the summer there were about half a dozen vehicles in the city.
