Ohio Carriage Manufacturing in 1912

The Ohio Carriage Manufacturing Company's factory at Columbus covered 3 1/2 acres and produced 20,000 horse drawn buggies made from split hickory in 1912.
All of their buggies were sold direct to the customer through a catalogue and some of the promises they made suggest how times have changed in the intervening century. Every order came with a "thirty days free road test" and if the customer was not happy for any reason, they could get their money back in full, including all freight charges!
