E-M-F Company

The E-M-F Company (E-M-F were the initials of the three company founders: Everritt, Metzger, and Flanders) was an early American automobile company in the 1910s. E-M-F produced several models of its own and also contracted to provide and distribute early Studebaker gasoline cars, as well. E-M-F soon was purchased by the larger Studebaker Corporation in Studebaker's bid to become an automobile powerhous. Flanders broke off and ran the short-lived Flanders Automobile Company, which produced cars that were essentially based on previous E-M-F designs.
