The Palmer-Moore Company (1906–1918) was a manufacturer of gasoline and air-cooled motor engines and marine engines in Syracuse, New York. The company began production of commercial trucks beginning in 1912. They were the third manufacturer in the city in the business and specialized in the manufacture of custom designs for local industries. ==History== The Palmer-Moore Company was founded in December, 1906 and manufactured motor engines, marine engines and trucks in Syracuse, New York for 12 years until 1918.〔 The company was founded by Thomas W. Meachem, Charles L. Palmer and Edward Moore, a Franklin (automobile) engineer.〔 Moore was inventor of the engine used in Palmer-Moore trucks and Palmer was secretary and treasurer of the firm.〔 Palmer-Moore was first incorporated in December 1906 and the details were recorded in the ''Onondaga County Clerks'' office. The startup had $6,000 in capital. By 1912, ''Palmer-Moore Company'' began the production of trucks with choice of air-cooled or water-cooled engine. The firm specialized in custom designs for local industries such as dairy, oil, delivery and freight trucks.〔 The company originally called their truck the ''Moore''; however, they were advised by a "concern on the west coast" that another firm had already adopted the name for their truck and had been using it for two years. In February 1914, John H. Valentine of ''Palmer-Moore Company'' announced that in the future the company would refer to their truck as the ''Palmer-Moore'' because they were asked to change the name as it "caused confusion." Palmer-Moore was not unlike ''Chase Motor Truck Company'' and ''Sanford-Herbert Motor Truck Company'', either in design, or in company background. All three truck companies were founded locally, experienced capitalization problems during World War I and did not survive.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Palmer-Moore Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
