1899 Ritchie by Advance Manufacturing Company, Hamilton, Ohio. This was the only car made by this gasoline engine producer, who turned to manufacturing tobacco packing equipment later.

Your source is likely more complete than mine. The caption to my photo read:

1898, Truck constructed by William and Oscar Ritchie using the "Hamilton Gasoline Engine."
