Continental. 1907.
Calling upon the hobo and dog mascot he created years prior for Continental bicycle tires, Mich now upgrades our derelict friend’s ride to a makeshift car promoting the company’s automotive end. To the left of this two-sheet design, the text loosely reads that “it doesn’t matter what engine you have, provided you have the right tires.”
