George Schade’s Runabout
automobile is pictured above, in front of the Kuebeler-Schade home on Tiffin Avenue in
the very early 1900s. The Runabout was
manufactured by the Sandusky Automobile Company. The Courier was another model made in Sandusky .
A longtime city
commissioner in Sandusky , George Schade was one of the first
automobile owners in Sandusky .
Mr. Schade was the husband of Anna Kuebeler, daughter of Jacob Kuebeler, a pioneer in the brewing
industry.
The Sandusky Automobile Company, founded by James J. Hinde, was only in
business for a few years in the first decade of the twentieth century. To read
more about the early automobile age in Sandusky ,
