Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. John H. Ozmun is pictured in his "Highwheeler" Model 3 Holsman automobile, after completing a cross-country drive from Akron, Ohio to San Diego, California. The Holsman Model 3 was manufactured by the Holsman Automobile Company of Chicago, Illinois from 1902 to 1910. The car averaged twenty miles to the gallon during its trip to the West coast, a trip which took Ozmun twenty-six days. Ozmun later drove the Model 3 across the country again, to attend the 1939 World Fair in New York. Text from original nitrate sleeve: Autos -- Used car lot.(Metadata may be incorrect for this negative, as negative is marked with #12,744. Negative sleeve 12744 reads: "Ozmun, J.H. and 1900 model Holsman auto").
