This advertisement for Jackson Automobile Company product appeared in the February 27, 1910 Indianapolis Star. The ad (see it as a jpeg elsewhere on First Super Speedway)- which was purchased by an Indianapolis dealership know as "Co-Auto Motor Company" is pretty bold, in-your-face with its claims of an unbeatable Jackson "30" product. The dealership was located in downtown Indianapolis at 23-25 Kentucky Avenue. The ad is useful in that it lists a number of their successes in competition from the 1909 season. These are the events listed:
- Cleveland, Ohio, March 20, 1909, special match race with a Pope-Toledo for $100 side bet. Jackson reportedly won.
