History

The Maryland Automobile Manufacturing company [3] developed a runabout with a two-cylinder vertical steam engine and a chain drive. In December 1900 the factory was blown down by gale-force winds. The factory was insured and production continued in 1901. [1] The Company offered bodies as a Tourist Carriage, Runabout, Surrey, Phaeton, Omnibus, Delivery Wagon and Racing Machine. The company was reported in receivership by May 1901. [3] The factory became a bottling plant. [4]
