A beautiful model of an early Great Lakes steamer, the Peerless. After a life of many misadventures, the ship eventually burned and sank in 1910.
A non-moving 'what-the-butler-saw' -- probably racy in its day! But 'peerless'? I'll be the judge of that!
Peerless Potato Chips, which was founded in Gary in 1928 right before the Great Depression, recently went out of business. It struggled after Central Grocers, its main distributor, filed for bankruptcy. Its owner also is being treated for terminal lung cancer, and he couldn't find a buyer.
"After 89 years in business we have been forced to close our doors," owner John Hogg said. "We can no longer pay our suppliers so can no longer produce. The Central Grocer's bankruptcy was the straw that broke the camel's back."

"There hasn’t been a closing on any sale," said Patrick Kepchar, an accountant who represents Peerless in the sale of its assets, as well as the potential buyer. "We do, however, have a buyer that we are going through the process with currently, and it looks promising, but again, nothing has been finalized just yet."

Peerless Force tires that I believe were made by Firestone. I bought a set of 5 mounted on decent chrome rims for $200. At that price, there was probably a 4x4 sitting in some nearby Walmart parking lot on cinder blocks.
One car was entered in the 1958 Le Mans 24 hr race driven by Peter Jopp & Percy Crabb,they did very well finishing 16th against all the big firm opposition.After the firm liquidated in 1960 one of the founders with a new business partner reformed the company in 1960 at Colnbrook.The new firm was called Warwick a name used originally by the old firm.
they only built about 40 cars and folded again in 1962.

This hotel stood on the site of a boarding house that my maternal Grandmother's family operated in the 19th century. I think there was still some family involvement with this hotel. This photo was taken in 1906 and the hotel has long since been torn down.

Clearly, Peerless was once a thriving town. It has several grain elevators. A big restaurant. Churches. A good size school. The problem is that when I was there most of those things seemed empty--abandoned, even. The church was overgrown. The school was clearly empty at a time when school should still have been in session. One of the elevators is falling down (though the others seem used). The big restaurant was listed for sale and seemed totally devoid of life. And there were far more abandoned homes than ones that are lived in. Peerless was very very quiet. I had to wonder what happened here, that so many people left? This place used to have plenty of amenities. But when I was there the only activity I saw was a tumbleweed blowing across main street.
"Peerless was originally a development of the Great Northern Railroad. It appears that Peerless once went by the name of Tande or Battleson, but because of the popularity of a local beer the name was changed to Peerless...Dutch Henry's Bar...is a namesake of an outlaw who roamed these parts in the late 1800s. A display of photos on the walls tells quite a bit about the history of the surrounding area. The original town, settled in 1914, was a few miles away. Like many other places in northeast Montana, the laying of the railroad bed required the town to be moved to the railroad." -travelmt.com
