We used to make things in this country, #336 The Canadian Commercial Motor Car

Herb Collings with Carl Morgan, Pioneering the Auto Age, Travelife Pub 1993

The Canadian Commercial Motor Car Company started in a factory at 509 Goyette St. in Windsor in 1911, specializing in commercial vehicles. The model above, shown in a typical scene is "the Canadian", featuring a screened in body (not shown) and an ebony steering wheel. Carrying on the patriotic flavour was their motto "Deliver the goods the Canadian way". It wasn't enough, the company seems to have disappeared by the mid 30s.
