1911 Obscure Auto & Bike Makers - Marathon & RACYCLE Ad #N1393

This original 7 x 10" magazine ad from the McClure's Magazine of 1911 features several interesting ads front and back.  The two that really caught my attention were the 4 x 6" ad for the Marathon Roadster at the top of the page and the RACYCLE bicycle ad in the lower left.  That ad measures @ 2 x 3" and was sponsored by the Miam Cycle & Mfg., CO of Middletown, Ohio at the time.  The Marathon automobile ad was placed by the Southern Motor Works of Nashville, TN.
