GRAHAM ( GRAHAM - PAIGE ) / USA ( 1928 - 1941 )
The three GRAHAM brothers Joseph, Robert and Ray acquired the PAIGE concern in 1927.
First year production was more than 73,000 cars.
After WW II GRAHAM - PAIGE joined forces with Henry J, Kaiser to build the Kaiser and Frazer cars.
The logo with three men was designed by Mr. Lorado Taft, a sculptor, famous for the monument overlooking the Rock River in Illinois, the Indian Chief Blackhawk.
The three helmet knights are of course the Graham brothers and it was a symbol for honesty, integrity and unity of purpose.
