Company may have moved to Eau Clare WI See May 1914 Motorboat magazine- Northwestern Motor Company. American Motor Company twin cylinder 1908- Eau Clare WI looks like Little tiger in circa 1908 ad???? |

hoppy, try a large city library for copies or micro- fiche of prewar RUDDER or MOTOR BOATING magazines for boat/motor pictures. Some of the 1900 to 1930 RUDDER front covers are very beautiful renderings of wistful boating scenes. Many suitable for enlargement and framing. |
