Continental M & M Co Company History Book


Recommended Posts

If anyone out there has a copy, would you be kind enough to see if it mentions the "other" Continental---Continental Engine Co, Chicago and Danville, Il??

They sold engines in competion circa 1905-1913 or so (CECo claimed 1895 as their start), There is at least one trade journal with a 1/2 page ad by one, the other half of the page  an ad by the other, both with engine illustrations!!

CECo advertised heavily for awhile, both HO  and verticals, and seems to've gone into CycleCars and died out 1913-15 or so.

Don't recall finding any litigation; just idle curiosity.

Just a random search shows both in a 1909 directory together. Since then I've seen several listings of them together. 

I'm sure this is the kind of thing that really bugs those who think a motor is electrical (only).
