Larry,
I think that might be a different company.
The Standard Motor Parts Company I'm talking about sold stationary, marine and automotive engine parts. They took over the operation of running the following companies from Wadsworth Manufacturing Co. sometime around 1917, Detroit Engine Works, Detroit Motor Car Supply Co., Columbia Engine Co., Detroit Boat Co. and Michigan Steel Boat Co.
Thanks for the reply Larry |

Aloha,
I got a Repair Parts Price list from Hit & Miss Enterprises, their number LS-651, which covers Gray 4 Cycle Stationary Engines, Models G-2 and M. It was issued by "Standard Motor Parts Co., Detroit Michigan."
Although undated I can tell that it was issued no earlier than 1914 based on the configuration of the engines covered.

Chuck,
That sounds like the correct company, I guess they sold parts for a lot of different company's.
Thanks for the reply Chuck..
