50 Years Ago County commissioner Millard Stookey has saved all but three or four of the auto license plates he has owned since 1913. The 1913 plate weighs two or three times as much as present day plates, had black letters on a yellow background. Plates in those days, according to Millard, came directly from Indianapolis. Stookey's 1913 plate went on an "Overland" car, purchased from Stanley Armstrong. Car was a special order because Stookey insisted on electric lights. Gasoline was 10 gallons for $1 and there was no tax on it.
