Institutionele geschiedenis

The Russell Motor Car Company was incorporated in 1911 in Canada with its head office in West Toronto. The company’s name had been the Canada Cycle & Motor Co. Ltd. Cars had been built since 1905 at the Weston Road Works, Toronto, when the first Model A was produced. Thomas Alexander Russell was the General Manager and he named the car after himself. By 1908 the Russell had become a luxury car. In 1913 trouble came in the form of an engine valve that created service problems. The car-making part of the company was sold to the Willys-Overland Company of Toledo, Ohio in 1915. In 1918 the company operated a machine-shop in Weston as well as a farm.

It includes a balance sheet from 15 July 1915. There are two letters from Arthur E. Watts, County Clerk and Solicitor, Brantford, Ontario, to Donald E.

Finally there is a five sheet document typed on paper from The Bradstreet Company outlining the history of the company and its sale in December 1915. The second accrual consists of a request for payment letter with invoice dated 1911; an Automobile Accessories Catalogue issued by the company in 1912; and a pamphlet "Soldier-Citizens, Something of the work carried on by the Russell Motor Car Ltd."
