Campbell Motor Car Company
The Campbell Motor Car Company was an automobile manufacturer, in business for only one year, from 1918 to 1919.
History
The Campbell Motor Car Company was originally called the Emerson Motors Company. But, in 1917, after the company was charged with stock manipulation,[1] Theodore A. Campbell and his brother George renamed the company after themselves. While the car made by the Emerson company was a low $395, the new Campbell, a small, 4-cylinder 22 hp car, cost $835,[1] compared to a Ford Model T Touring Car that cost $360. In May 1919, the company went into receivership. Less than 600 cars were made.[2]

gollark: It's just such a *government* solution to something which isn't very problematic. Some people wanted to wake up at different times or whatever, so instead of shifting working hours or something they decided to meddle with the fabric of time.
