to become the publicity agent for the E-M-F Company, which was at the time the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the United States. In June 1910, Bruske led a pioneering automobile expedition known as "Under Three Flags." Bruske and a small crew drove a Flanders "20" roadster (an early offering by E-M-F Company) from Quebec City to Mexico City in 58 days from June 6 to August 3, 1910. The E-M-F Company subsequently published a book about the expedition, likely written by Bruske. Alfred Henry Spink, the founder of The Sporting News, called Bruske's "Under Three Flags" expedition "the most remarkable journey ever placed to the credit of a car of its power." In October 1911, Bruske participated in the Glidden Tour, a cross-country automobile race from New York to California. By 1912, the E-M-F Company had combined with Studebaker, and Bruske was in charge of advertising and publicity for Studebaker. He toured the country arranging exhibitions, overseeing the company's participation in road races, and writing newspaper stories promoting Studebaker automobiles. In December 1914, he left Studebaker to manage the Maxwell automobile racing team. The Maxwell team was one of the leading automobile racing teams in the 1910s and included among its stars, Barney Oldfield, Ray Harroun (winner of the 1911 Indianapolis 500), Eddie Rickenbacker, and Billy Carlson. In April 1915, after equipping the team's cars with Master carburetors, the Maxwell team took first and second place in a race in Venice, California. In July 1915, the Maxwell team, with Rickenbacker driving, won the 300-mile Sioux City sweepstakes. In August 1915, the Maxwell automobile company withdrew from the automobile racing business, and Bruske was given a position overseeing the company's newspaper work. From 1917 to 1919, he was the advertising manager for Ray Harroun's Harroun Motors Corp. In a draft registration card completed at the time of World War I, Bruske described himself as an "advertising writer" for the Harroun Motors Corp. He was living at that time with his wife, Mary Plum Bruske, at 195 Pallister Street in Detroit. Family and later years After two years with Harroun, Bruske joined Power, Alexander & Jenkins Co., an advertising agency in 1919. Bruske remained active in the advertising business in his later years, with clients that included Fisher Body and Firestone/Oldfield Tires. Bruske married a fellow Alma student, Mary Wheeler Plum. They had a son, Paul Wheeler Bruske and a daughter
