I found these obscure ads in 1921 Automotive Industries and thought I'd share them.
The Standard Catalog of American Cars has quite a scandalous write-up on the short-lived
(1920-1922) Houston company, and I wondered if any remain. The 1920 Ranger
sedan is listed in my 1922 Schedule of Weights, Automobiles (SC State Highway Dept.,
Motor Vehicle License Division), but the car doesn't appear in the 1926 "Red Book,"
National Used Car Market Report.

They certainly seem to be channeling Ned Jordan's "Somewhere West of Laramie" text.
The ads are printed on heavy card stock, and as time permits, I'll look in other issues
to see if there are examples of the company's other models.

Except that Somewhere West of Laremie wasn't done until 1923.

At least one Ranger survived. It was a touring car, and was in Houston during the 1960s when it was restored. I think it was then sold somewhere out of town.

Notice in the second ad that shows the interior of the "car factory". There are NO cars shown being worked on and only one pic of a few engines.

West, I hate it when I don't cross my i's and dot my t's! Busted!

JRB, maybe the car will resurface, or the owner will find this thread...

F&J, it's all very scammy, as the Standard Catalog points out, with great relish, I might add!
