Description

The year was 1904, the date was December 6th, the place, Chicago, Illinois. At this time in history, the first recorded motor cycle package delivery driver in the city of Chicago, left his place of employment in freezing weather conditions, protected only by his coat and hat and drove off into history. Riding a motor cycle equipped with a delivery sidecar, he would travel 29 miles over roads made rough by the hoofs of countless horses, and ride 29 miles that day alone, making three trips, and delivering 132 packages to customers over the next nearly four and one half hours. Through the pages of this book I looked into history of the men behind this event; William R. Manierre, founder of the Fowler-Manson-Sherman Cycle Mfg. Co., THE MACHINE, Charles A. Stevens, founder of the Chas. A. Stevens & Bros., THE MERCHANT, and Peter M. Hansen, my grandfather, THE MAN. With no more to go on than a small four page advertising booklet published by the Fowler-Manson-Sherman Motor Cycle Mfg. Co., advertising the advantages of their newly developed sidecar, and handed down through the family from grandfather (THE MAN), to son and to grandson, I have strived to fill in the numerous blanks of history surrounding this event by giving credit to the three men involved.
