WK Rogers and his automobile
WK Rogers and his automobile clearly had numerous run-ins with the authorities. Family lore has it that he once put notice in the newspaper that he would be using his automobile for war recruiting on a prohibited day. His advocacy of the automobile led to him being referred to as "Good Roads Rogers".
