Well, I recently purchased, for a very modest price off of Tbay, a 1922 Ford Manual for our 1922 Center Door. I was well pleased with my new (to me) manual, and, as I thumbed through it, was surprised to find an original Invoice for the sale of (what I think is) a used 1922 (speculating here) RPU (also speculating because the Invoice only describes the sale as a Used Ford Roadster for $150 and a Slip-on box for an additional $10 for a total of $160.

The Motor Number is 6002596. The motor number pretty much jibes with what would be a 1922 model vehicle I believe.

The Invoice is dated February 28, 1925 and was sold to Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Morehouse of Minneapolis. Mrs. Hazel Morehouse has penned "Our first car, Hazel Morehouse" on the Invoice with the sale being from Christian-Lindsay Co., Inc., with the same identified on the Operator's Manual.

Would be interesting to know if this particular vehicle were still to be around. If it were, I would also be pleased to forward same Invoice and Operator's Manual to the current owners. They are both in excellent condition as can be seen from the photos.

Anyone who has any prior information, please feel free to chime in.

The building at 1300 Hennepin Ave that housed the dealership is long gone.

The apartment building at 723 SE 7th Street still stands. According to the 1925 Minneapolis City Directory, Bruce L. Morehouse who resided at that address was a stenographer at the U.S. Veterans Bureau.

The world needs more Hazels. Just sayin' ....

Thanks, Erik,
Found their residence. Would be interesting to find the car after all these years.

If I owned that vehicle today, I'd be very pleased to have an opportunity to own that manual.
