The company then opened a factory in Leavitt Street, near Southwest Detroit.

During the prosperous time of the company, around 700 people worked there, producing as many as 3,500 trucks annually.

Despite being an independent manufacturer, the company produced its own cabs in both standard and deluxe versions.
