Standard Engine Company

 
There are folks out there who enjoy collecting this neat old stuff.  See the Standard Twin site.  Also, the Minneapolis Manufacturing Syndicate has detailed information on the company's history.  It apparently ceased production around 1955.  Note the appeal to "suburbanites" in the ad above.  Ah, the beginning of urban sprawl!
