      Founded in the early 1900's by John D. Silberzahn. The firm moved to Marinette, WI in about 1907 and then either moved to Menominee, MI or merged with the Diets & Co. of Menominee, MI in 1908. The same air-cooled gas engine was subsequently offered in 1916 by the Reliable Motor Works of Toledo, OH.

Manufactured Gas Engines ca 1907
