"Coates & McDonald / AERO / Unicycle Co. / 617 Liggett
Building / St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A." postcard mailed FEB 8 1912 from St. Louis
to Mr. & Mrs Lewis Schwarz in Detroit Michigan. Sender wrote in part: 'We are
busy this wk. at Coleseum(sic) with this affair on other side. How would you
like to ride this going at the rate of a mile a minute...'. According to the
October 5 1911 Motor Age, the St. Louis Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association
announced that it would remain inactive during 1912. So the exhibition referred
to was held by the Missouri Automobile Dealers Association, formed chiefly to
the purpose of holding the February 1912 show coincidentally with the Veiled
Prophet Festival, availing itself of the numerous out-of-town visitors. The
motorized unicycle idea is obviously hair-brained & dangerous: the driver's view
is at all times obstructed and at speeds approaching 60 miles an hour it
becomes an undertaking (and we choose that word carefully) only for those
having a death wish. Evidently that is what most of the recipients of this
advertising postcard believed, tossing it in the trash to give it the repose
it deserved. To the best of our knowledge this is the only surviving
example. A search of the Internet revealed no other offers, no previous
recorded offers, and no exhibitions whatsoever.
