Please don't be too harsh with the young man. As some of you know, the automobile marque that had the shortest run was the now little known automobile "They" - which stood for Tom, Henry, Ely, & Yancy - the four founders of the "THEY' Automobile Company. They were in production for only 8 months before they were bought out by the Shadow Shoe-String Company.
As some of you know, the THEY Automobile Company did not begin production until 1909. So the young man behind the Auto Parts counter was indeed quite right in saying "They did not even make cars in 1908".
