CLEVELAND, June 22.—Ome of the most famous men of the automotive in- dustry, Alexander Winton, sr., who was generally known as the first commercial | manufacturer of an automobile, died at his home here last night at the age cf 72. He had been ill two weeks. Long before the world ever dreamed the part automobiles were to play in modern life Winton was building cars in a little Cleveland factory and his first autcmobile was running on the | streets of this city as ear'y as 1895.

Looked Like Monster. | In those days an automobile still looked like a demoniaca! monster to | many people, and Winton lost the race, | he said later, because some one put candles in the gasoline tank to “keep away the devils.” Mr. Winton accumulated a large for- tune in succceding years, much of which he spent in wide and successful experiments for improvements. For many vears his Cleveland factory man- ufactured automobiles, but suspended this business in 1924 Although several other inventors made and operated automobiles before Mr. ! Winton, he was known as the first to manufacture them for sale. One of the pioneer's favorite stories | of the early days of the industry con- | cerned the first automobile trip ever | made from Cleveland to New York, and its demoralizing effect upon sundry horses and horsemen. That was in 1897.
