I want to share some local automotive history, this has been a long going project of mine as I was going to write a book about it. Time constraints, health and lack of money prevented me from doing it. Some of these companies still exist in one form or another. Here is the first company...
Abresch of Milwaukee (Charles Abresch Company 1871-? Manufacturer of Carriages and Wagons - Abresch Motors, Inc - Abresch-Cramer Auto Truck Co) built some custom bodies for Kissel automobile sold through his Kissel dealership . New Yorker and Bradfield taxis were built in Kissel factory near the end of firm. Charles Abresch died in 1912.
Abresch was a Kissel (another Wisconsin firm) dealer from 1908 on and also built production bodies for the early Ramblers and also the Fawick Flyer/Silent Sioux, as well as commercial bodies for Milwaukee firms. Manufactured an assembled truck for a short period of time from 1910-1912. His partner – Cramer - was a Mr. Kremers (Americanization of Kremers)
Abresch built production bodies for the Rambler, Fawick Flyer and Silent Sioux.
ABRESCH-KREMERS (US) c.1910-1912 The Charles Abresch Co., Milwaukee, Wis.
The Abresch-Kremers was an assembled truck, built by a custom automobile body builder in Milwaukee. Little is known about their truck venture. The make is also referred to as the Abresch-Cramer, possibly an error, or a changing of a partner's name to give the marque a better chance in the marketplace. The Charles Abresch Co. survived until 1965, although they were almost certainly out of the truck business by 1913.
