David Graham was the son of a Pennsylvania farmer but was mechanically minded and graduated as a mechanical engineer at Ohio State University. 

By 1901, David Graham had applied for several automotive related patents and was working with Frank Fox on the development of a novel compound engine and a motor car to use this engine. David Graham and Frank Fox established the Graham-Fox Motor Company in 1901 and continued to develop, test and refine their compound engine through 1901 and 1902. 

In early December 1902, it was reported that the Graham-Fox compound engine had been perfected and was operationally successful after over 18,000 miles of road testing, and that the Graham-Fox Company had been reorganized with a new management team, with E. C. Snow as President, and had secured sufficient new capital with the financial support of Irving Brokaw. The company was expected to begin marketing early in 1903 and to move into production of the Graham-Fox within about ninety days with two compound engine models, one of 20 hp and one of 45 hp. At least one prototype Graham-Fox touring car was certainly built in 1903 but production did not proceed as planned. 

John W. Eisenhuth had built an experimental motor car in 1896, incorporated the Eisenhuth Horseless Vehicle Company (EHVC) in 1898, patented a compound engine concept in 1900 and, in January 1902, had taken over the large, former Keating bicycle plant in Middletown, Connecticut. Sometime in 1903, Eisenhuth took an interest in the Graham-Fox. By late November 1903, the Eisenhuth Horseless Vehicle Company had bought the Graham-Fox Company. David Graham and Frank Fox moved from New York to the Eisenhuth factory in Middletown, Connecticut and continued working on the Graham-Fox, which would later be marketed as the Compound.

The Graham-Fox was introduced as the Compound at the New York Auto Show in January 1904 (not 1903, as recorded in most automobile references) and was reported to be a huge, seven-passenger touring car with a powerful 60 hp three-cylinder compound engine. The Compound was seen to be a very well made car, painted rich red throughout, trimmed in black and upholstered in red leather. The Compound was also shown at the Chicago Motor Show in February 1904, most likely the same car as shown in New York.

The first Compound production models appeared in early March 1904, but these large touring cars were grossly overpriced for the market and, no doubt recognizing this, less powerful, lower priced Compound touring car models with 20 hp compound engines were introduced later in 1904. 

Serious problems seemed to follow John Eisenhuth and there were problems in the Eisenhuth Horseless Vehicle Company related to the Compound. Both Frank Fox and John Eisenhuth had departed by late 1904, although John Eisenhuth remained as a Director. David Graham and others continued to try to make a success of the Compound venture. 

New Compound engines and vehicles were designed and tooled up for the 1905 model year but it was a major task and the new models did not appear until the fall of 1905. The new Compound line up included the Model 3 side entrance tonneau powered by a 24/28 hp compound engine and the Series 4 two-passenger side entrance tonneau and runabout both using 12/15 hp compound engines. 

Three new Compound cars took part in the New York Motor Club's National Economy Test between 30 October and 4 November 1905 and performed very well, so much so that the test was used in subsequent Compound car advertisements and brochures, see example below:

Compound Advertisement following the successful Economy Test

The 1906 Compound model range was expanded to include a Doctor's Stanhope, a five-passenger Touring, a seven-passenger Tuxedo, a four-passenger Royal Victoria and a delivery van, all powered by a 16 hp compound engine, as well as marine engines. 

For 1907, there were more changes to the Compound line-up. The same 16 hp engine was used for the lower cost models but engine enhancements yielding 20 hp were incorporated for higher-level models and a 40 hp six-cylinder seven-passenger Touring was also offered. 

This may have been a rash decision. The six-cylinder model was not offered for 1908 and the Compound line-up was reduced to a touring model and four-passenger and five-passenger tonneau models, all using the same 20 hp engine. More importantly perhaps, all prices were reduced for 1908. 

The E.H.V. Co. name may have been seen to be an impediment, as the company name was changed to the Eagle Motor Company in late 1907. However, it was too late and the company did not continue beyond 1908. 

The Compound was recognized as a high quality motor vehicle delivering reliable and economic mechanical performance. Unfortunately, however, the cost of producing the complex Compound mechanical system at low volume was too high to attract a wide market. Lifetime production of the Compound is unknown but is estimated at between 200 and 400 units.

David Graham moved on to become Chief Engineer at the Allen-Kingston Motor Car Company and thereafter continued in various other roles in the automotive industry.

Emblems

The Graham-Fox,which became the Compound, did not carry an emblem, see original period photo below:

Platinum print from the effects of David Graham

There was only the one Graham-Fox prototype touring car, which was exhibited at the 1904 New York Auto Show, and it did not carry a serial plate. However, the Graham-Fox name was displayed on the brass hubcaps. Unfortunately, none of these Graham-Fox hubcaps are known to have survived but the following blurred magnification of a hubcap from an original period Graham-Fox photo shows the inscription "THE GRAHAM-FOX MOTOR CO." around the outside and "NEW YORK" across the center:

Enlargement of Platinum print from the effects of David Graham

Following the take over of the Graham-Fox Motor Company by the Eisenhuth Horseless Vehicle Company and the decision to change the vehicle name to the Compound, there was no rush to establish a logo for the Compound. The 1904 Compound fold-out brochure included an illustration of the Graham-Fox prototype with the "COMPOUND" name presented in capital letters, see below:

Compound brochure page (1904)    gpc

It is likely that the Compound had a serial plate when production began in early 1904, which may have displayed the Compound name as shown above. Original Compound serial plates in this style would be ultra rare.

Some time later in 1904, there was an attempt, possibly by John Eisenhuth, to establish a logo for the Compound based on Eisenhuth's patented compound engine, see below:

Eisenhuth compound engine patent drawing (1900)

The section through the three cylinder chambers in the Eisenhuth compound engine patent drawing shown above is used as the basis for the early Compound logo shown in the following advertisement:

Compound car ad with early logo (1904)   gpc

It is possible that some Compound car built later in 1904 had serial plates displaying this logo but I cannot confirm this. An original Compound car serial plate showing this logo would also be ultra rare.

By 1905, a new flowing script "Compound" logo had been designed and this appeared in Compound car brochures and advertisements, see example shown below:

Compound car advertisement showing new logo (1905)   ebay 

It is known that the Compound car did display the "Compound" name on a large script mounted on the front of the radiator. However, it is not certain when the Compound radiator script was first used. 

The earliest original photos of Compound cars that can be dated were taken at the New York Motor Club National Economy Test in October-November 1905 and none of the three Compound cars taking part displayed a radiator script. It seems unlikely that the publicity opportunity to display a radiator script would have been missed if a radiator script had been available. 

The Compound cars taking part in the NYMC Economy Test were labelled as car numbers 5, 6 and 7, see original photos below:

Compound Car No. 5 driven by David Graham (1905)  dpl

Compound Car No. 6 driven by Fred Carter (1905)  advert

Compound car No. 7 driven by C.P.Hatch (1905)  dpl

Compound car advertisements and original factory photos from 1905 and 1906 also do not show a radiator script mounted on the radiator, see following examples:

Compound Doctor's Stanhope factory photo (1906)  freelibrary

However, the following original photos show David Graham driving a Compound light touring car displaying a large Compound radiator script at the Second Annual Economy Test of the New York Motor Club in November 1906. On this occasion, David Graham was driving in an Official capacity as a member of the NYMC Technical Committee.

David Graham's Compound car performed well in heavy snow during the Economy Test and this achievement was also used to help publicize the Compound car, see advertisement below:

Compound ad following NYMC Second Economy Test (Nov 1906)  tha

Detail showing Second Economy Test Compound car (Nov 1906)

This supports a 1906 date as the likely first appearance of a Compound radiator script. 

The following original photo of a Compound car with a radiator script was taken at an auto trade show in 1907:

Compound car at trade show (1907)   dpl

The Compound radiator script is a cast brass script, see example shown above at the top of this post and again below. Original Compound radiator scripts like this are extremely rare.

This is a Compound rad script (1906-1908)    gpc
Size: 320mm wide

This particular Compound radiator script is mounted on the radiator of the only known surviving example of a Compound car, a 1906 Type 7.5 Touring, on display at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum at Fairbanks, Alaska. This Compound touring model was originally owned by John Unser, who was Superintendant at the EHV Co. It is possible that the radiator script was originally mounted on the car in 1906 but I cannot confirm this.

The following photo clearly shows the heavy rounded cast brass radiator script:

The Compound name was also displayed on the serial plates attached to the car body, see the example below from the surviving 1906 Compound Touring at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. Original Compound serial plates with this design are extremely rare.

Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum

The company name was changed to the Eagle Motor Company in late 1907 ahead of the 1908 model year, see 1908 Compound brochure page shown below:

1908 Compound Brochure Page   gpc

It is possible that Compound serial plates used for some models built for 1908 after the company name was changed to the Eagle Motor Company may have displayed the Eagle company name, but I cannot confirm this. Original Compound serial plates with the Eagle company name, if they could be found, would be ultra rare.

If you have further details of any emblems, scripts or nameplates used on the Compound, please let me know, in order to update this post.

I am most grateful to Greg Prior for sharing family material left by his Great Great Uncle, David Graham, whose ingenuity and passion led to the Compound motor car. 

CLARK

Clark Motor Car Co. (1910-1912)

Shelbyville, Indiana

This is a Clark 30 serial plate (c1910-1911)   khc
Size: 77mm wide 44mm high

The Clark from Shelbyville, Indiana was initially produced in two engine sizes, a 30 hp model and a 40 hp model, both offered in touring and roadster body styles. There was a single 30/40 hp model offered for 1912 with a slight change in body styles but there were problems and the company was bankrupt by June 1912. Production was resumed under new management but this did not work and the factory was sold in 1913.

Emblem

The first Clark "30" built in Shelbyville for 1910-1911 displayed the company name on a small serial plate, which would have been attached to the body of the car, see example shown below at the top of this post. This Clark "30" serial plate is very rare.

I can find no original period photos of the Clark motor car clearly showing the radiator but it is most likely that the Clark also displayed a brass "Clark" script mounted on the radiator core following the style used in the Clark 30 serial plate shown above at the top of this post. Original Clark radiator scripts would also be very rare.

PIERCE-RACINE

Pierce Engine Co. (1904-1909)
Pierce Motor Co. (1909-1911)
Racine, Wisconsin

This is a Pierce-Racine emblem (date unknown)   mjs
Size: 34mm wide 18mm high (emblem)     MM: Unknown

Andrew J Pierce established the Pierce Engine Company in 1892 for the manufacture of marine engines and launches. He built his first car, a single-cylinder surrey, in 1895. His second car was a two-cylinder carriage built in 1899 and a third followed in 1902. In 1904 Pierce decided to go into production. 

The first Pierce-Racine was an 8 hp single-cylinder water-cooled runabout, of which 25 were made. A 16 hp two-cylinder model was added in 1905 and a wider range of models was available for 1906 when four-cylinder models were introduced and sales rose to 150 units. From 1907, Pierce-Racine concentrated on four-cylinder models delivering up to 45 hp.

In 1909, Pierce reorganized his company as the Pierce Motor Company and, in exchange for additional financing, Racine businessmen, who were also stockholders in the J I Case Threshing Machine Company, took a greater involvement in the running of the company. By August 1910, Pierce-Racine had been acquired by Case. The last Pierce-Racine automobiles were assembled in early 1911.

Emblems

The earliest Pierce-Racine cars did not carry an emblem but most likely did display the "Pierce-Racine" name on a maker's nameplate and serial plate attached to the body, probably at the rear or under the driver's seat.

The first four-cylinder Pierce-Racine cars using a conventional radiator appeared in 1906. The following shows the only known surviving Pierce-Racine, a restored Model D from 1907, displaying a reproduction "Pierce-Racine" script mounted on the radiator core. However, I can find no original period photos or illustrations showing any radiator script before 1910, so I cannot confirm whether the Pierce-Racine radiator script shown below is an authentic reproduction.

Original period photos of Pierce-Racine cars from 1910 show a much simpler "Pierce-Racine" script mounted on the radiator core, see example shown below:

The same radiator script is seen in the following original photo of a Pierce-Racine motor car taking part in the Munsey Historic Tour of 1910:

This Pierce-Racine radiator script may have been in use from about 1908 or possibly earlier but this cannot be confirmed. Original Pierce-Racine radiator scripts are very rare.

The small, so far unidentified, Pierce-Racine emblem shown above at the top of this post is very rare, see detail below:

WARD ELECTRIC

Pittsburgh Motor Vehicle Co. (1905-1910)
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Ward Motor Vehicle Co. 
Bronx, New York City, New York (1910-1915)
Mount Vernon, New York (1915-1937)

This is a Ward-Electric truck nameplate (c1926-1937)   lktec
Size: 620mm wide 100mm high

Charles A. Ward took an engineering degree at Cornell University and, in 1905, he organized the Pittsburgh Motor Vehicle Company to produce battery operated electric delivery vans that he had designed for use in his family's bread baking business in Pittsburgh. Initially, there were five delivery van models from 750 pounds to 2-tons capacity, all using chain drive. 

The Ward bread baking business grew and moved to New York in 1910, where a new truck manufacturing plant was established in the Bronx, and the company was reorganized as the Ward Motor Vehicle Company. Initially, Ward continued to build the same line of trucks mainly for the family business but Ward electric trucks were offered to other businesses.

By 1912, a 3-1/2-ton capacity model was added to the line, a 4-ton capacity model appeared for 1914, and a 5-ton capacity model was ready by 1915, when to company moved to Mount Vernon, New York.

In October 1913, Ward began to produce electric passenger cars in the style of five-passenger coupes. Ward passenger car production continued alongside commercial vehicles until 1916, when passenger car production ceased.  The company trade name was changed to Ward-Electric in 1918.

Ward commercial vehicle models continued virtually unchanged until 1922 when the lowest capacity model was a half-ton van and, in 1925 only, a 10-ton capacity model was offered. From 1925 to 1932, Ward catalogs listed more than ten different models from half-ton to 7-1/2-ton capacity. 

Westinghouse DC motors were used to power Ward vehicles up to 1920 but, in 1921, Ward changed to General Electric motors.

Ward Electric complete truck production ceased in 1937 (some references say 1934) but the Ward Motor Vehicle Company continued in the truck body building business until 1965. 

Emblems

I have not found any original period photos or illustrations of the Ward trucks built in Pittsburgh but they are unlikely to have carried an emblem. However, it is likely that Ward trucks built in Pittsburgh had the Ward name displayed on a serial plate attached to the body of the truck and possibly on the hubcaps. Original Ward serial plates or hub emblems of Ward trucks built in Pittsburgh would be extremely rare.

Original period photos and illustrations of Ward trucks built in New York or Mount Vernon before the late 1920's still do not show an emblem, see examples shown below:

 Ward electric delivery van model EO    robert gabrick 

However, from about 1913, Ward delivery truck advertisements did display the Ward Motor Vehicle Company logo, see examples below:

This is the Ward Motor Vehicle Company Logo

After the move to New York, Ward trucks continued to display the Ward name on serial plates attached to the body of the truck or under the driver's seat and on the hubcaps using the Ward company logo, see examples shown below. Ward New York serial plates are rare.

This is a Ward electric truck serial plate with company logo (1918)    mjs
Size: 184mm wide 40mm high

It is noted that this Ward serial plate used in 1918 still has the New York company logo, most likely to use up existing stocks of New York plates before Mount Vernon plates were used.

Some Ward trucks used a different hubcap with a separate painted hub emblem still in the style of the Ward company logo, see example shown below after the move to Mount Vernon:

Size: 40mm diameter

Some heavy duty Ward trucks may have carried a nameplate on the front chassis frame member. The following illustration of a 1921 Ward Model WD 2-ton truck appears to show a small nameplate, which may have displayed the "WARD" name, but the illustration is not clear, so I cannot confirm this:

Certainly, some later Ward heavy duty trucks carried a "WARD ELECTRIC" nameplate on the front chassis frame, see examples shown below:

RUMELY TRUCK

Advance-Rumely Thresher Company (1919-1928)
LaPorte, Indiana

This is a Rumely farm truck radiator emblem (c1920)  smokstak

The Advance-Rumely Thresher Company was a well known manufacturer of agricultural machinery, particularly threshing machines and large tractors. 

Advance-Rumely also produced a one and a half ton farm truck between 1919 and 1928. The Rumely farm truck was initially powered by a four-cylinder Buda engine and used a Fuller transmission and a Sheldon worm-drive rear axle. The engine size was changed in 1923 but the truck was otherwise unchanged. 

The Advance-Rumely Thresher Company suffered the effects of the Depression and the company was bought out by Allis-Chalmers in 1931.

Emblems

The Rumely name was cast into the radiator tank top, see example shown above at the top of this post, and this remained unchanged through the production life of the Rumely farm truck. 

Original period photos and catalog illustrations do not show any indication of a hood side nameplate, see examples shown below:

Rumely farm truck (1919)  farmcollector

Rumley farm truck catalog illustration (c1919)  smokstak

However, later Advance-Rumely product catalog farm truck illustrations do show a "Rumely" hood side nameplate, see below:

WALKER ELECTRIC

Automobile Maintenance & Manufacturing Co. (1906-1911)
Walker Vehicle Co. (1911-1933)
Walker Vehicle Co. Div. York & Town Mfg. Co. (1933-1942)

Chicago, Illinois

This is a Walker Electric emblem (c1926-1930)    sam
Size: 55mm diameter    MM: Unknown

The Walker Electric was America's best-known and longest-lived electric truck. 

The initial Walker trucks had separate electric motors for each rear wheel but in 1909 this was replaced by a single 3-1/2 hp motor mounted in the rear axle. For a brief period Walker also offered a gas-electric model. By 1912 the Walker was available in five models ranging from 750 lbs to 3-1/2-ton capacity.

In 1914, Walker bought the Chicago Electric pleasure car design and continued Chicago Electric passenger car production until 1916 (see Chicago Electric). 

The Walker Vehicle Company was acquired by the Anderson Electric Car Company of Detroit in 1916 but was sold to Commonwealth Edison in 1920. However, throughout this time, the Walker Vehicle Company continued to design and manufacture Walker Electric trucks in Chicago.  

From about 1926, some Walker Electric truck models were built in the style of gasoline powered vehicles, including some models made to appear more like gasoline passenger cars than trucks.

Walker bought out the Commercial Truck Company in 1928 (see C-T Electric). By 1929, the Walker Electric range of models extended from the 3/4-ton capacity Model 10 Special, styled like a contemporary gasoline-powered light truck, through heavier trucks up to 7-ton capacity. 

In 1933, the Walker Vehicle Company was sold and became a Division of the York & Towne Manufacturing Company. 

In 1938, Walker produced a new gas-electric model called the Walker Dynamotive, which was a multi-stop delivery vehicle. The Dynamotive and other Walker electric trucks of 1-1/2-ton to 5-ton capacity were built up to 1942 when all Walker Electric truck production ceased.

Emblems

There are very few original period photos of the earliest Walker electric trucks and none I have seen show an emblem, see example shown below:

Walker electric truck (1908)   wiki

However, the earliest Walker Electric trucks were likely to have displayed the "Walker" name on the hubcaps and on a small maker's nameplates or serial plates probably mounted at the rear of the vehicle. 

This is an early Walker electric truck hubcap (c1908)   dkc

The following is an example of a Walker electric truck serial plate. Original Walker Electric truck serial plates are scarce.

This Walker Vehicles Ltd emblem has not been seen elsewhere. It is most likely the emblem for a New Zealand company, which may possibly be related to the Walker Vehicle Company or maybe a local vehicle body maker emblem. So far, this emblem is a mystery. If you have better information about this Walker Vehicles Ltd emblem, please let me know, in order to update this post.

Walker Electric trucks were also exported to the UK and a fleet of Walker delivery trucks was operated by Harrods of London for many years. Some of these Walker electric trucks also had curved front bumper nameplates, see example below:
