of the
Davis Bar Harbor Buckboard Co.
Bar Harbor, Maine
The name of W. H. DAVIS is almost inseparable from that of the
Bar Harbor buckboards, as he is the originator and builder of that
famous vehicle that is known all over the world. Mr. Davis first
went into the carriage business with his father, Mr. James W.
Davis, in 1869 in Ellsworth. He bought his father out in 1881,
and 1892 moved to Bar Harbor, where he built up an immense busi
ness, and it grew SO rapidly that in 1901 he thought best to incor
porate, forming a stock company under the name of The Davis Bar
Harbor Buckboard Company. At their factory on School street
where they employ fifteen or twenty men the year round, they build
on an average one hundred of their famous Bar Harbor buckboards,
surreys and cutunders each year,. which are shipped all over the
world. Every new appliance is adopted by them as soon as proven
practicable. About one year and a half ago electric motor power
was installed. The cutunder rumble buckboard is one of the very
latest designs. Rubber tires are applied to all these buckboards when desired, and all buck-
boards are finished in the natural wood unless otherwise ordered. The buckboard was suggested
to Mr. Davis by a rude carriage that appeared in Bar Harbor some twenty-nine years ago, con-
sisting of a plank hung on a set of wheels with one seat, called a "buckboard" from the "buck-
ing" or spring of the plank, and from this has developed the elegant buckboard of today.
