HOISINGTON — In 1913, when the twentieth century was young, forever changes occurred in the lifestyles of Americans with the use of the horseless carriage. In those days, quality was the norm, and a vehicle manufactured that year, a 1913 Glide 36-42, still starts right up and runs today at the Thorne residence in Hoisington.Glide automobiles were made by the Bartholomew Company from 1902-1920 after which it became the Avery Company. The company’s slogan was “Ride in a Glide, then Decide.”
