New Mexico Brant

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I just acquired this rear cushion suspension men's chainless at Memory Lane. Matt @Barnegatbicycles has found a related lady's example that sold at Copake that was badged Eldred. Being from Pennsylvania, Eldred is not a bicycle name that comes to mind. I did find the below advertisement from 1902 so they definitely were selling bicycles. Being the fact this is during the ABC time period is Eldred just jobber badging these with their name? This seems very likely as they mention functioning out of their corner store (also they were repairing bikes and fixing tires). Who really manufactured this bike? Any help is appreciated. Kind thanks, Brant
