In 1911, Sara sold Brand's A-1 Steak Sauce from her electric car to restaurants and tearooms in Hartford, Connecticut. Later on, she sold the steak sauce to railroads for their dining car patrons, thus doing a lot of coast-to-coast train travel from 1912-1913. (Sara's granddaughter: Lesley Ann Hawking Chase Olerud-Dobson.)
