One of our best finds from Croton's own Cornelia Cotton Gallery (111 Grand St., 271-6802), a sort of mini-catalog featuring 1912 offerings from The Locomobile Company of America. For those who don't know, The Locomobile Company of America was an automobile manufacturer founded in 1899. For the first two years it was located in Massachusetts, but production was transferred to Bridgeport, Connecticut, where it remained until the company's demise in 1929.
