This photo was posted on a facebook page. The main subject is the two Gaeth cars. 

 

The mystery car is the one on the far left. Just a radiator showing, along with a sign saying Rochester N Y.

 

Or is it another ...ester town?

 

There is script visible on the radiator but it is hard to decipher.

 

At a guess the date is 1905.

That would be Gearless - Rochester, NY 1907-'09 by the Gearless Transmission Company. that had a friction drive transmission.  It reorganized as the Gearless Motor Car Company in 1908, bankrupt in fall of 1909.    Quite expensive, in the $3K-$4K range until the last year, tried $1,500-$3,200. to no avail.
