Company history

Barney Everitt and William Metzger left the Everitt-Metzger-Flanders Company in 1909 after a dispute with Walter Flanders . They started a new company in Detroit , Michigan . The designer was William Kelly, who had also previously worked at EMF. They started producing automobiles in 1910. The brand name was Everitt . 2500 vehicles were planned for 1910. These were all pre-sold before production began. Licenses were given to Tudhope Motor and Brockville Atlas Auto of Canada. Walter Flanders also joined the company at the end of 1912. Production ended in the same year.

A reorganization in 1912 led to Everitt Motor Car Company, renamed Flanders Motor Company a little later .
