Item description from seller

78 pages plus covers. Paperback: H 31cm x L 23cm. Tan paper covers soiled with strong staining, 18.5cm slender paper loss along spine, some slender loss along both covers' fore-edges as well. Interior pages are overall quite clean with just a few scattered foxing spots. Binding is firm. A good copy of a scarce trade catalog. Initial six pages feature images of the Ames factory and product/component manufacture. "Ames Grade" buggies on pages 7-24 (seventeen models); "Owensboro Grade" models on pages 25-50 (twenty-five models); "The Niagara Line" models on pages 51-64 (twelve models plus concluding No. 2 Cart model); "Delivery Wagons" on pages 65-77 (twelve models). One model shown per page with all illustrated in b/w. Although the catalog is undated, the title page states that the company is in its thirty-fifth year as a builder of pleasure vehicles which, as the F.A. Ames Company was started in 1891 as the Carriage Woodstock Company, would seem to indicate a 1926 publication date. However, Ames suffered a nervous breakdown in 1922 and died in 1925. Since the title page specifies that Ames is still company president with no specific indication of his passing, the catalog was probably issued in 1925 perhaps in advance of the 1926 model year. Ames's son-on-law, R.S. Triplett (listed as the company's Vice-President and Treasurer upon the title page) assumed the company's presidency after Ames's death so again 1925 seems to be a fairly certain publication year. Also please note that the catalog only features the company's buggy and wagon models and does not reference any of their aftermarket bodies for Fords or their car models. …
