When batteries replaced hand cranks on autos, motorists had fewer sore arms - but they still had problems. Early electrical systems were unreliable; batteries often had to be recharged or replaced. And that's the kind of service motorists could get in the 1920s from A.M. Allen Electric Co., at the corner of W. Buchtel and Water streets.

 

 

C.L. Tschantz, pictured on High Street in 1903, delivered milk produced on his father's farm to 200 customers. Then 17, he carried the liquid in big cans and ladled it out to the users, who furnished their own containers. Bottles weren't used until 1911.
