...Lodge with Herter regrettably exists in Mr. Upton's mind, not in ours. Lodge indeed performed the introduction. 1200 residents of South Boston's Ward 6 and several score members of the working press managed to see what Mr. Upton apparently missed: that it was Herter ( a tall, spare man who doesn't look a bit like Lodge) who remained silent throughout the proceedings.

Yet for all its wonderful nautical absurdity, it could do 75 m.p.h. Unfortunately for the guarantee, the company folded a few years after it started...
