They continued the production of automobiles. The brand name remained Halladay . Attica , Lexington , Mansfield and Warren are initially named as locations , with production only taking place in Attica and Warren.

One vehicle was shown at an auto show in New York City in January 1922 . Series production was no longer possible. Bankruptcy followed in March 1922 . Production ended with that.
