Colonel Albert Pope, former Civil War Officer, began his large manufacturing empire making pistols and went on to become America's leading cycle producer. He formed a new company called Columbia to make electric cars. He founded four companies to make a wide range of petrol cars and this Pope-Tribune was the smallest and least expensive. This is an early model with a single cylinder and shaft drive.
