    1. [CORNISH] Sight Seeing Auto 999
    2. Rosemary & Stan Rodliffe
    3. I have a photo taken around 1900 of an early sightseeing auto somewhere in the USA or Canada. If I could find the date and city where the 999 Sight Seeing Auto operated I could perhaps associate one of the passengers with one of my Cornish relatives who visited or worked in North America. Apart from "Leaves every hour", "Lecturer on each trip", "1000 points of interest" and "Round trip $1.00" the only other identifying feature is a winged wheel logo with 999 at its centre, "Sight Seeing Auto" above and "Better than the Best" underneath. I have posted the picture at: http://www.thornburypump.co.uk/Ancestry/999_sightseeing_auto.html (Underlines between 999 and sightseeing and sightseeing and auto) I would be most grateful if someone could give me guidance on how to find out when and where the sightseeing tour might have taken place.
