A total of eight in 1908.

Interesting...according to the 1910 census, Edgeley had a population of 749. Assuming the 8 vehicles pictured were in use at that date, Edgeley boasted 1 automobile for every 94 people - or a little more than twice the number of cars per capita than the national average. (458,500 automobiles in 1910 among a populace of 92,228,496)
I'd be interested to see the disparity of autos/population between country towns and bigger cities.
A fascinating photo. 2 real estate people in Edgeley.
Gary perhaps the reason the photo was created is that there were so many automobiles in the town it was a novelty?

Model N Ford in the top center photo and a Buick in the top right pic? Is that an IH high wheeler in the bottom center?
