Partin Mfg. Co.

The Partin Mfg. Co. was a large automobile sales agency in Chicago that joined with the Palmer Motor Car Co., in Detroit to manufacture cycle cars called the Pioneer, a 45 model to be named the Partin, and a model 38 that was going to be called Partin-Palmer. The cycle car did not last to the end of the year along with the Partin model. The models would be called Partin-Palmers.

A few may have been made in Detroit before the company was moved to Chicago to take over the Staver factory. Only the model 38 was made that year. A small 20 HP roadster was made in 1915 priced at a low $495.00. By now, Partin & Palmer were no longer with the company. The company moved to Rochelle where the George D. Whitcomb Company would assemble them. They were makers of gas machines and mining equipment. The car's name was changed to Commonwealth and became the forerunner of Checker cabs.
