The Brockville Atlas was

A quality car from Brockvill

ovdon IMPORT AUTO

10th & Alma, Vancouver

produced as a medium
priced car for the Canadian
market with all advertising
bearing the slogan “Cars of
Quality.”

Production was started in
1911 in the Canada Carriage
Company factory in
Brockville, which had been
taken over by the newly
formed Carriage Factories
Limited. Thomas J. Storey
turned out his first car for
the 1911 season called the
Brockville 30 which,

In 1914, they produced
the cars equipped with
Rutenber engines, because
the Atlas engine, which had
been so successful, was no

longer available. Disco self-
starters were made available
at extra cost, and the Atlas
as it became known, was one
of the first cars to feature
internal brakes protecting
the linings from mud and
water.

After producing = ap-

proximately 300 cars and
marketing them from coast
to coast, the Brockville Atlas
Company was hit by lagging
sales, and a parts shortage,
as a result of the First World
War, and was forced to
cease operations. In
November 1915, Benjamin
Briscoe took over the
production facilities of
Brockville-Atias, and started
producing the Canadian
Briscoe in the old Brockville
Plant.

because of the close ties
Carriage Factories had with
the Tudhope Carriage Co. in
Orillia, was in reality an
Everitt.

In 1912, Storey decided
that this firm should build a
car of their own, to be called
the Brockville-Atlas Model
A, utilizing the Atlas engine
which was imported from
Indianapolis, Indiana, but
the bodies, fenders, and
trim, were to be built in
Canada.

Encouraged by _ their
success, the Model E was
brought out in 1913, and sold
with a list price 25 per cent
less than its predecessor,
although very similar in
design. The Model E was
continued on through 1914
with additional models
added, including a seven
passenger touring.
