George Henry Zuver, distributor for the Roman Automatic lubricators and oil guns has had a long identification with the automobile trade as the distributor of the Winton car. He has built up a large business. His course has always been indicative of the alertness and energy which are among his marked characteristics. He was born in Pleasantville, Pennsylvania, December 13 1855, a son of Thomas W and Nellie (Ives) Zuver, both of whom were natives of the Keystone state. His ancestors were those who served in the Revolutionary war, participating in the battle of Bunker Hill. Thomas W Zuver spent his entire life in Pennsylvania, where he was connected with the oil industry, becoming one of the prominent factors in the development of the oil fields of that state. He passed away at Pleasantville, where the mother still owns the old home, but is now spending her time in Los Angeles, California. Their family numbered eleven children, five of whom are living; Vern L., a resident of Los Angeles, ; W. E. still living at Pleasantville, Pennsylvania; Nelson and Paul, both of Los Angeles, and George Henry.

In the acquirement of his education George Henry Zuver attended the public and high schools of Pleasantville, Pennsylvania, and also the Carnegie Technical Institute, from which he was graduated as a mechanical engineer. He then became a foreman with the Westinghouse Electrical Company and remained as electrical machinery expert from 1904 until 1907, when he resigned and entered the employ of the Winton Automobile Company as a mechanic. In 1910 he became connected with the sales force of the corporation and served in that capacity until 1916. During this period he also took an active interest in military affairs and became a member of the National Guard of Michigan, in which he rose to the rank of captain of Company H, Eighteenth Infantry. He was with this company of the Mexican border from 1916 until January, 1917, and then returned to Detroit. Soon afterward he was made manager of the branch of the Winton Automobile Company in Kansas City, Missouri, where he continued until August 1917, when he purchased the business and reorganized it, under the name of George H Zuver Company, Incorporated, and capitalized for fifty thousand dollars.

"The Winton had a two-cylinder, 20-horsepower engine directly underneath the driver's seat, with a chain drive, capable of speeds up to 30 miles per hour; two speeds forward and one reverse; steering wheel on the right; no windshield and no top. It featured two of Alexander Wilton's many engineering innovations: a ratcheted lever that prevented broken arms if the engine unexpectedly backfired in the midst of being crank-started; and a hinge that allowed the steering wheel to be tipped away as the driver took his position. Leather, upholstered seats were mounted high on a wooden body painted a reddish maroon with, as the sales brochure promised, "just enough polished brass… to enliven the general effect.""


Of this company he has since been president and has been successful in the management of the undertaking. This is a close corporation and the sales in 1917 amounted to about one hundred cars. The business steadily grew through the enterprise and progressiveness of Mr. Zuver. In 1921 Mr. Zuver gave up his contract as Winton distributor and became distributor for the Roman Automatic lubricator line with headquarters at 5764 Cass avenue. He is at all time alert, ready for any emergency, and by reason of his capable management and clean business methods has gained a position of high standing in trade circles in Detroit. He is a director of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association.

On the 2d day of January, 1919, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Mr. Zuver was married to Miss Mary Boyle, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Boyle of that city, where her father is police commissioner. They have five children; Dorothy, who was born in Pittsburgh, in August, 1911; George H., Jr., Born in Pittsburgh in 1912; Katherine, born in Pittsburgh in February, 1914; Robert, born in the same city in July, 1916; and lee Raymond, born in Detroit, in January, 1919.

Mr. Zuver in interested in various sports as indicated in his membership in the Detroit Yacht Club, the Detroit Riding and Hunt Club and the Detroit Automobile Club and his support of progressive measures for the welfare, up building and benefit of Detroit is manifest in his connection with the Board of Commerce

Man charged with passing forged checks in County

Bishop man held in Jail at Canonsburg for hearing

Thomas Kirby, 45, of Bishop, is in the Canonsburg lockup awaiting hearing on charges said to involve several thousands of dollars worth of bad checks. He was captured by McDonald police after leaving the store of a grocer there to whom he had tendered a $30 check for a small purchase.

When arrested, it is said, he had a number of checks in his pockets, all ready for cashing, one of them in the amount of $6,200.

Recently telegrams were at Cecil by Kirby and the Cecil bank, it is reported, informing Kirby he had fallen heir to a $33,000 estate and would receive his inheritance shortly. On strength of this news he is said to have made numerous purchases, and also to have passed several checks in his own name.

When, it is reported, he ordered funeral flowers and tendered $30 for a $22.50 down payment and the florist’s assistant found no corpse at the address given, he also found no account in the name of George A Rock, an investigation showed checks with signatures in similar handwriting, totaling about $1,800 held in Cecil banks as forgeries.

About three weeks ago he left his wife and four-month-old baby at their home at bishop, and this drew to an investigation which shoed he had also forged the name of his mother-in-law, Mrs James Thiel, to a check for $200 on a McDonald bank. At Mrs Thiel’s home a picture of Kirby was obtained and was identified by Wilbert Zuver, the florist, as the man who had forged the check he received.
