The Paige company started building cars in 1908, concentrating on the luxury car market, they got into the truck market with a 2 ton truck in late 1918, The ad above from 1919 shows their attempts to sell them to the US army.
In the ad below, the war is over, new designs for the civilian market have been added. One and half ton and three ton models were added along with electric lights, pneumatic tires and other refinements. By 1923, there were announcements that truck production was being halted to focus on car production. In 1927 the company was sold to the Graham brothers and the name changed to Graham Paige.
