The leaders through all changes of design and type since 1895.
In New York, London, Paris and other large cities Columbia Electric Broughams, Landaus, Landaulets and Hansoms are the favorite vehicles of people who demand and have the best of everything. These carriages are made for private use only and no others compare with them for motive efficiency, exclusiveness of design, perfection of detail and finish, and luxury of furnishing. For town use they provide the ideal motor service. The illustration shows the new model Columbia Brougham, Mark LXVIII. It is much lighter than any electric Brougham previously made, admitting the use of pneumatic tires. The maximum speed is eighteen miles an hour , and there are important improvements in the control, steering and other operating features. With the same chassis we supply Landaulet and Hansom bodies. No less distinctive and preferable among electric vehicles are the lighter Columbias-- Surreys, Victoria-phaetons and Runabouts. All Columbia Electric Carriages are equipped with Exide batteries, the only thoroughly efficient and practical vehicle batteries developed to date.
