Text

This pin promoted a new agency called the Harrisburg Automobile Co. which sold the Stearn Automobile in Ohio. The Stearn Automobile first began in 1898 by Frank Stearns who created the car. As the car's engineering improved, it became known as the fastest stock automobile of its period. Famed racer Barney Oldfield won the Mount Wilson hill climb in a Stearns Six.  Stearns retired in 1919 and sold his company to J.N. Willys in 1925.
