E-M-F, Flanders, Studebaker Photographs, ca. 1910-1914 -- Item 233
Add to SetSummary
Founded in 1852, Studebaker was the world's largest manufacturer of horse-drawn vehicles by 1900. It entered the automobile business with understandable caution. Studebaker contracted with the Everitt-Metzger-Flanders Company in 1908 to sell E-M-F cars through Studebaker's extensive network of wagon dealers. Studebaker ultimately purchased E-M-F and its facilities and began building gasoline-powered cars under the Studebaker name for 1913.
