While Elwood Haynes and the Apperson brothers are not as well known as Henry Ford or Ransom Olds, their contributions to the automotive industry are just as significant. They were responsible for one of the first functioning automobiles, if not the first, in the United States. After building their automobile in 1894, the three men formed the Haynes-Apperson Automobile Company in Kokomo, Indiana, one of the first car manufacturers in the country. Three years after incorporation, the partnership split up and Edgar and Elmer Apperson formed their own company. Both companies lasted until the mid-1920s. This history of the Haynes, Haynes-Apperson and Apperson marques is richly illustrated with photographs of the factories, automobiles, personalities and advertisements.
