J. “Dick” Geisler are a single thought in the -minds of many who have visited and had the chance to know the man with -the ever-present cigar. A Valentine present to German immigrant parents, -Dick knew he and the family farm were not cut out for each other. He -attended a rural school near New Ulm, Minnesota much like the one that -is part of the museum. After high school his mother’s plans for business -college for her son were interrupted by a job selling for the Jewel Tea -Company, and other sales ventures. In 1923 he and a friend drove a Ford -like the one to be seen in the Ford Garage from Minnesota to California -taking odd jobs along the way to finance the trip. - -In California he met and married Vivian Petersen who had traveled to -California with her three sisters. The three Geisler children were born -in Pasadena where “Dick” was operating the feed, hardware and appliance -business he started in the height of the depression. In 1942 Mr. Geisler -traded his California home for a farm near Blunt, South Dakota, sold the -businesses and returned to the Midwest. - -Crops had been nonexistent for some years prior to his move to South -Dakota and the natives were amused at the West coast city dude who -busily went about planting wheat. The Geisler touch and ideal conditions -brought about the first of many banner years for crops in the area. - -In 1945 “Dick” bought a John Deere Chevrolet dealership in Murdo and -moved his family once again. In 1950 he opened the Phillips 66 gas -station at the junction of U.S. 16 and 83. The embryo of the PIONEER -AUTO MUSEUM took shape in the form of an old buggy and a 1913 Ford -Peddler’s Wagon (now located in the Ford Garage) which were parked in -front of the station and elicited considerable comment from tourists. As -the years rolled by a vintage car here and an antique there were added -to “Dick’s” small but growing collection. Dick’s son, John, made the -first trip to pick up a car back east. Upon returning, John told his -father about other cars to be had. By ones and twos the collection grew -to where something had to be done to properly store and show the cars. - - Pub. by The Goin Company, Box 746 - Mitchell, South Dakota 57301 - - MADE BY - DEXTER PRESS - WEST NYACK, NEW YORK - - [Illustration: Pioneer Auto Museum - Murdo, South Dakota] - - Buildings as Numbered - 1.

This - first model made by the Cadillac Motor Car Co. of Detroit sported a - single cylinder, under-the-floor mounted engine with a two speed - transmission.] - - [Illustration: 1908 Brush - - This two passenger runabout was one of the popular models of its - day. Built between 1907-1913, it had a wooden frame and wooden - axles, coil springs on all four wheels and was chain driven. Its - single cylinder 12 H.P. engine cranked counterclockwise. Sold new - for $485.00. NOTE: The same man, Alanson P. Brush, designed the - engines for both the Cadillac and Brush described on this page.] - - [Illustration: Long Green Car - - Long enough to be a 32 cylinder monstrosity, this 1926 Nash was - especially built as an eye-catcher. In identifying the Pioneer Auto - Museum, reference is often made to this car.] - - [Illustration: A Lineup of Old-Timers - - A sample of man’s mechanical genius found in the Pioneer Auto - Museum. In this lineup, left to right, can be seen a Model T, - Flanders, Spacke, and Schacht.] - - - - - Antiques of Yesteryear - - -ANTIQUE CARS - -Wide variances of opinion exist as to what constitutes an antique car. -To those unknowledgeable in history of the automobile it is often merely -a relative description of an old car. The Veteran Motor Car Club of -America classifies any car over 35 years old as antique. The Antique -Automobile Club of America considers all pre-1930 models qualifying as -antiques. The Horseless Carriage Club limit their choices for antique -designation to pre-1916 cars. As we said, the term is somewhat relative. - - [Illustration: 1912 Chalmers - - This high-wheeled, 4 cylinder speedster is a fine example of an - early sports car. In 1910 Chalmers won the Glidden Trophy.] - - [Illustration: 1909 Fuller - - In 1909 and 1910 two companies were producing autos with the Fuller - name—The Angus Automobile Company of Angus, Nebraska and the Fuller - Buggy Company of Jackson, Michigan. The inflatable tires identify - this model as being made in Jackson, Michigan.] - - [Illustration: 1912 Cadillac - - This gleaming blue beauty must have brought joy to the heart of its - first owner. The brass lamps and leather workings show great care. - Note the early “bucket” seats.] - - [Illustration: 1906 “N” Ford - - This early model come off the line just three years after Henry Ford - produced his first auto. It is the first car to be seen as you enter - Henry’s Ford Garage.] - - [Illustration: 1902 Oldsmobile - - This curved dash Olds was powered by a single cylinder engine and - steered with a tiller. It was the world’s first mass produced - automobile.] - - [Illustration: 1902 Schacht - - A 1902 gem with double chain drive. This hard wheeler was one of the - earlier models with a steering wheel. Note the hand crank in back - for the rear-mounted motor.] - - [Illustration: 1917 Hupmobile Roadster - - Very few of this model are found today. This 4 cylinder roadster was - capable of 45 miles an hour and sold for $1,265.00 new. What is now - known as the antique era was rapidly coming to a close and many of - the refinements of production efficiency can be noted on this car.] - - [Illustration: 1910 Flanders - - The Flanders was marketed by Studebaker and remained unchanged for - the years of its manufacture, 1909-1912. It has a 4 cylinder engine - and a 3 speed transmission. This model was noted for its - mother-in-law seat, a single seat in the rear.] - - [Illustration: 1909 Auburn Touring - - If cars could speak, this particular Auburn could tell much of the - early history and settling of Central South Dakota. It was used for - many years to transport settlers to their claims, some a full day’s - ride from Murdo. Fully restored in early 1971, it is now on - display.] - - [Illustration: Autos On Review - - From left to right—1914 Ford Touring, 1917 Crow-Elkhart, 1913 - Hupmobile and a 1913 Ford Speedster.] - - - - - The Vintage Years - - -Following World War I cars that had remained drawing board dreams sprung -into reality. Faster production methods had evolved from the war and -were now applied to the auto industry. New techniques for making lighter -alloys were brought into use and new advances in the theory of the -internal combustion engine were tested and applied. The result was a -selection of autos superior to those of the previous period. - -Production had passed from experiment to refinement. Efficiency was the -byword with great care given in the construction of each unit during -that post-war period. Mass production sounded the death knell for the -short-lived Vintage Years which, it is generally agreed, lasted from -1919 to 1930. - - [Illustration: 1922 Essex - - This Essex, manufactured by the Hudson Motor Car Company from - 1918-1932, was a low-priced, four cylinder car. However, it was very - popular and was noted for its remarkable acceleration and top - speed.] - - [Illustration: 1922 Star Touring - - Even the best of the Vintage Years autos had their bad moments. - Experienced mechanics were few and far between in some parts of the - country. Usually the local blacksmith could be depended upon for a - piece of bailing wire and a fair repair job, as on this 1922 Star.] - - [Illustration: 1927 Willys-Knight - - Willys-Knight was most notable for its double-sleeve-valve engine. - Purchase price for this model was $1,400.00.] - - [Illustration: 1922 Stutz Touring - - You were really “IN” back in the “Roaring 20’s” with this sporty - wire-wheeled model. This is a blood-brother to the famous Stutz - Bearcat of early sports car fame.] - - [Illustration: 1922 Mercer Touring - - The tour cylinder Mercer was one of the fastest cars of its day. - Note the wire wheels and the two spare tires at the rear. All four - doors opened from the inside only.] - - [Illustration: 1928 Paige-Detroit - - This six cylinder four door sedan was one of the last cars made by - the Paige Company which merged with the Graham Brothers Company the - next year forming the Graham-Paige Company. Notice the three-tone - paint job.] - - [Illustration: Henry’s Ford Garage - - Henry’s Garage displays 18 early Fords from the 1906 Model “N” - through the Model A”. A parts room duplicating the organized mess of - the early Ford parts department and a display of tools used to work - on these wonders which would go miles with baling wire or a hair pin - holding them together.] - - [Illustration: 1913 Overland - - Mr. Geisler is sentimental about every car in his collection but - this one has a special place in his heart. Can you remember the - first car you ever drove?—Here is the first car Dick Geisler drove, - now restored to prize winning condition. It was judged the finest - example of restoration in 1963 and received a first place trophy at - the national meet held by the Antique Automobile Club of America - that year.] - - - - - Classic Cars - - -What does set apart a true classic from a standard production car? Two -things in principle: Brilliant and unusual design coupled with the most -advanced engineering of the day. Almost inseparable from these -attributes are two more basic factors: Superlative hand workmanship and -limited production. Some classics may excel in body design coupled to a -lesser standard of engineering or vice versa, but all the above -qualities are invariably found in a true classic. - - [Illustration: 1928 Cunningham - - James Cunningham & Sons manufactured finely made, luxury cars in - Rochester, N.Y. between 1907 and 1936. This early example of the V-8 - engine produced 100 bhp at 2400 rpm. The Cunningham sold for up to - $9,000.00. In 1970 a close-coupled convertible like this one was - offered for $38,750.00. Early Cunningham enthusiasts included Mary - Pickford, Marshall Field, William Randolph Hearst and Harold Lloyd. - This car was driven for half its trip from Wisconsin to the PIONEER - AUTO MUSEUM.] - - [Illustration: 1937 Cord - - This 810 Westchester Sedan was manufactured by Auburn Automobile - Company. Only 2,320 cars of the 810 and 812 model Cord were made. It - featured front wheel drive, Lycoming V-8 engine, retractable - headlights and wrap-around grill. A 1937 supercharged model 812 - originally sold for $3,575.00. A supercharged Beverly Sedan is on - display in another building.] - - [Illustration: 1931 Pierce-Arrow Convertible Coupe - - Headlights sweeping from the fenders in clean, flowing lines mark it - as a Pierce-Arrow. Bore and stroke were 3½ × 5 inches with a piston - displacement of 385 cubic inches developing 132 horsepower. Another - unique feature was pairs of coils, points and condensers allowing - the 8 cylinder engine to run on four cylinders should the ignition - fail. Many other unique features of engineering and design mark the - Pierce-Arrow as a true Classic.] - - [Illustration: 1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster - - This classic beauty manufactured by the Auburn Automobile Company - between 1903-1937 was guaranteed to have been test driven at more - than 100 mph. Auburn first began using the two-tone color scheme in - 1925. This yellow and red beauty came with a straight eight Lycoming - engine rated at 150 H.P. This car was a first place winner at the - national Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg meet a few years ago.] - - [Illustration: 1928 Packard Convertible Coupe - - This Packard has a straight eight engine, side-mounted spares, disc - wheels, and a rumble seat. Two other Packards of this classic era, - both four door phaetons, are also on display in the museum in the - Classic Building.] - - - - - Special Interest Cars - - -To classify as a special interest car it should be distinguished either -by unusual body style, an engineering innovation or some other marked -difference from the routine production of its day. A few of the special -interest cars to be found in the PIONEER AUTO MUSEUM are shown here. - - [Illustration: ROONEY RACER - - The Mickey Rooney Racer was built especially for use in the movie - “The Big Wheel.” It is powered by a motorcycle engine mounted in the - rear. The car, bought in California, traveled cross country in its - own tailor-made car top carrier.] - - [Illustration: 1957 Thunderbird - - The two-seater Thunderbird was built between 1955-1957. The one on - display at the MUSEUM has an engine with 312 cubic inch - displacement. The porthole top is detachable, secured by five clamps - and a convertible top was optional. This car is driven regularly by - John Geisler, and may be parked in front of the MUSEUM.] - - [Illustration: Kaiser Darrin Roadster DKF-16 - - This true roadster manufactured by Willys Motors, Inc., boasts side - curtains, hidden top, plexiglass wind wings, and sold for $3,668.00. - The fibreglass body features doors that slide into front fender - wells and an F head Willys engine. Of the 435 assembly line cars - built only 226 are known to still exist. If you miss the car in the - exhibit it is probably parked in front as it is driven regularly by - Betty Geisler.] - - - - - Shucks Ma—“ - Now I can work 40 acres a day!” - - - [Illustration: uncaptioned] - -The Indian stared in amazement, dogs and kids ran for cover and great -grandfather swelled with pride as he drove his new J. I. Case steam -engine across the prairie. - -The mechanical age had really arrived as these and many other -smoke-belching behemoths rumbled across the plains of South Dakota years -ago. The “dirt farmer” came into his own, turning over as many as 40 -acres of virgin sod a day. He was soon to be recognized as the most -important single factor in feeding a rapidly growing nation. Today’s -farmer, heir to yesterday’s pioneer efforts, finds his role even more -important. A hungry world constantly demanding a greater food supply -leans heavily on the American farmer’s ability to produce more and more. - -The giants pictured here have long since retired. But South Dakota is -fortunate to have men of vision who have restored and maintained this -part of our heritage to see and enjoy now and for years to come. - - [Illustration: A Rumley Oil-Pull provides the power to drive one of - the older threshing machines commonly seen in The wheat country of - Central South Dakota. This steam powered behemoth provided belt - drive to run the thresher.] - - [Illustration: An Aultman-Taylor kerosene powered tractor of - yesteryear. Note the heavy chain behind the front wheels that - provided the linkage for steering this giant. Typical of early - equipment, it was all but silent until the drive train was engaged. - No one was ever known to go to sleep at the switch.] - - [Illustration: Two views of the farm machinery lot at the back of - the PIONEER AUTO MUSEUM. Dozens of tractors of all vintages are - represented along with countless other pieces of farm equipment from - days gone by.] - - [Illustration: no separate caption] - - - - - Antique Town - - -“Remember way back when—?” and, “When I was a boy I used to walk five -miles every day to a one room school back in—!” Here are reminders for -those who have made these statements or heard them from the folks. A -true turn-of-the-century main street. How different and complex are -these same things today! - - [Illustration: Two young ladies stand in front of the completely - equipped barber shop. The other businesses appear to be closed for - the day so one might guess father is still in the chair doing his - part in a bit of close harmony.] - - [Illustration: A bank is a bank—unless it’s the one you have done - business with for years and it is to be dismantled.

As time went on a collection of old farm machinery and -tractors blossomed in back. And as old original buildings such as jails, -schools, churches, banks and many others were doomed to replacement in -the community, Mr. Geisler added yet another facet of olden day -preservation to the museum. China, toys, glassware, lamps, musical -antiquities and other things too numerous to mention here were added. So -many things, in fact, that many buildings such as the general store, the -church, and the school house are fully stocked and equipped with -authentic original trappings. Today the museum boasts 25 buildings with -over 200 vehicles plus thousands of other memorabilia. Because of Mr. -Geisler’s fondness for Ford automobiles, a special building in the -museum, Henry’s Ford Garage, contains only Fords. In 1956 Mr. Geisler -sold the Chevrolet-John Deere Agency and purchased the Ford Agency in -Murdo, which is managed by another son, Dave. - -PIONEER AUTO MUSEUM is more than a mere tourist attraction. It is a -tribute to a man and woman and their family who have had the foresight -to preserve the past. The thousands of items to be seen in a fine state -of preservation would have doubtless been lost to the dumps and junk -piles. Instead posterity can visit and maybe “live a little” in the days -of their forefathers in authentic surroundings. - -Visit with Dick and John. They will be happy to give you interesting and -expert information on anything in the PIONEER AUTO MUSEUM. They might -even relate a few of the interesting and amusing tales of how the cars -were found and moved from over 40 states to the PIONEER AUTO MUSEUM in -Murdo, South Dakota. - - [Illustration: 1931 Packard Touring Car - - This rare classic was the personal pride of its original owner, Tom - Mix, hard-riding cowboy of movie fame.

J. “Dick” Geisler are a single -thought in the minds of many who have visited and had the chance to -know the man with the ever-present cigar. A Valentine present to German -immigrant parents, Dick knew he and the family farm were not -cut out for each other. He attended a rural school near New Ulm, Minnesota -much like the one that is part of the museum. After high school -his mother’s plans for business college for her son were interrupted by -a job selling for the Jewel Tea Company, and other sales ventures. In -1923 he and a friend drove a Ford like the one to be seen in the Ford -Garage from Minnesota to California taking odd jobs along the way to -finance the trip.</p> -<p>In California he met and married Vivian Petersen who had traveled -to California with her three sisters. The three Geisler children were -born in Pasadena where “Dick” was operating the feed, hardware and -appliance business he started in the height of the depression. In 1942 -Mr. Geisler traded his California home for a farm near Blunt, South -Dakota, sold the businesses and returned to the Midwest.</p> -<p>Crops had been nonexistent for some years prior to his move to -South Dakota and the natives were amused at the West coast city dude -who busily went about planting wheat. The Geisler touch and ideal -conditions brought about the first of many banner years for crops in -the area.</p> -<p>In 1945 “Dick” bought a John Deere Chevrolet dealership in Murdo -and moved his family once again. In 1950 he opened the Phillips 66 -gas station at the junction of U.S. 16 and 83. The embryo of the -PIONEER AUTO MUSEUM took shape in the form of an old buggy -and a 1913 Ford Peddler’s Wagon (now located in the Ford Garage) -which were parked in front of the station and elicited considerable comment -from tourists. As the years rolled by a vintage car here and an -antique there were added to “Dick’s” small but growing collection. -Dick’s son, John, made the first trip to pick up a car back east. Upon -returning, John told his father about other cars to be had. By ones and -twos the collection grew to where something had to be done to properly -store and show the cars.</p> -<p class="center smallest"><span class="ss">Pub. by The Goin Company, Box 746 -<br />Mitchell, South Dakota 57301</span></p> -<p class="center smallest"><span class="ss">MADE BY -<br />DEXTER PRESS -<br />WEST NYACK, NEW YORK</span></p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_2">2</div> -<div class="img" id="fig1"> -<img src="images/p01.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="735" /> -<p class="pcap"><span class="large"><span class="rubric"><span class="sc">Pioneer Auto Museum -<br />Murdo, South Dakota</span></span></span></p> -</div> -<dl class="undent pcap"><dt class="center">Buildings as Numbered</dt> -<dt>1.
