"John C. Fremont, DJ Newland and Lewis Nixon founded the company in the early 1900s. The seat was in Jersey City in New Jersey . First came boat motors. In April 1901 the production of automobiles was added. The brand name was Long Distance. CC Riotte was the designer. In November 1901, plans were for ten to twelve vehicles a week. Vehicle production ended in 1903. In early 1904 a reorganization resulted in the Standard Motor Construction Company." (Wikipedia)
