It was stated on the 1 July 1905 statement that they planned to exhibit a vehicle in the February 1905 Chicago Automobile Show as well as the February 1906 Show.

It was stated on the 1 January 1906 statement, that they were planning for additional manufacturing space.

In 1905, -06, -07 & -08, they included income from the exclusive licensing to manufacture under the Holsman patents. The total amount for the 4 years came to $ 93,332. It is not known what patents were involved.

From the above it may be seen that their best financial year was 1907 when the disbursements were 95.6% of gross sales, and the factory payroll 29.6% of gross sales. Their poorest year was 1909 with the disbursements 118.1% of gross sales and their factory payroll 40.9% of gross sales.
