Henry Wick's "Blue Goose"

At a cost of $15,000 to $20,000 Mr. Wick's six passenger built to order automobile was built for him by L. B. Smyser in a building across from the old County Court House at Wick and Wood Streets and was entered in a car show in New York at Madison Square Garden.

It was hoped that this could be the start of another factory in Youngstown, but fell through.

The cost was in 1903 money so figure what it would cost in today's money.
