Bookwagon parked on country road; woman standing outside of wagon

The bookmobile from 1921 to 1931.

The IHC and the Koehler proved to be too heavy and unwieldy for the ladies, requiring the services of a chauffeur. The third motorized book wagon was a Dodge business car specially equipped for library use. According to Miss Titcomb, the Dodge "proved so satisfactory that when it began to show signs of wear after five years continuous service, it was thought best to replace it with another of the same make."
