Unissued Stock, Large size engraved stock by Western Bank Note Co. Chicago. Rare and Particularly Attractive! Studebaker was an American wagon and automobile manufacturer based in South Bend, Indiana. Founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868 as the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, the firm was originally a coachbuilder, manufacturing wagons, buggies, carriages and harnesses. Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1902 with electric vehicles and in 1904 with gasoline vehicles, all sold under the name \"Studebaker Automobile Company\". Until 1911, its automotive division operated in partnership with the Garford Company of Elyria, Ohio, and after 1909 with the E-M-F Company and with the Flanders Automobile Company. The first gasoline automobiles to be fully manufactured by Studebaker were marketed in August 1912. Over the next 50 years, the company established a reputation for quality, durability and reliability. After an unsuccessful 1954 merger with Packard (the Studebaker-Packard Corporation) failed to solve chronic postwar cashflow problems, the \'Studebaker Corporation\' name was restored in 1962, but the South Bend plant ceased automobile production on December 20, 1963, and the last Studebaker automobile rolled off the Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, assembly line on Saint Patrick\'s Day March 17, 1966. Studebaker continued as an independent manufacturer before merging with Wagner Electric in May 1967 and then Worthington Corporation in November 1967. The ancestors of the Studebaker family first arrived in America at the port of Philadelphia on September 1, 1736, on the ship Harle, from Rotterdam, Holland, as shown in the original manuscripts now in the Pennsylvania State Library at Harrisburg. This included Peter Studebaker and his wife Anna Margetha Studebaker, Clement Studebaker (Peters brother) and his wife, Anna Catherina Studebaker and Heinrich Studebaker (Peter\'s cousin). In 1918, Albert Russel Erskin, Studebaker Corporation president, wrote the book, \"History of the Studebaker Corporation\", including the 1918 an Item ordered may not be exact piece shown.
