No, but geographically close (within 200 miles).
To Penn State?
was this taken from a contemporary car magazine?
was the magazine published in 1915?

I've found this to be an excellent source for AP puzzles and would prefer not to have it revealed here. Let's work on identifying the vehicle through some other means and not narrow the source down any further. :)
I've been through 8 car and commercial vehicle magazines of the time, about 4000 pages, so it's a little late for that. But I keep browsing.
Perhaps this will help in some way?
Thanks for the hint, it helped a lot
It is from 1914 and called the Electric Iron Wagon

It really doesn't matter which month, I looked at all suitable contemporary car magazines :(
