Brew-Hatcher / B&H (United States) - AllCarIndex

Brew-Hatcher was an American automobile manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio, that operated briefly from 1904 to 1905. The company was founded by William A. Hatcher, who had prior experience working with Winton and the Ohio Automobile Company, where he contributed to the development of the Model F Rickard. In collaboration with Francis O. Blew, Hatcher established a components supply company around 1903, which eventually led to the production of their first automobile in January 1904.

The initial model produced by Brew-Hatcher featured a horizontally-opposed twin engine with a power output of 16 horsepower and was designed with a rear-entrance tonneau body. In 1905, the company introduced an updated version of the same model, which was built on a longer wheelbase to accommodate a side-entrance tonneau. Additionally, they offered an 18/24 horsepower four-cylinder tourer. However, the production of Brew-Hatcher automobiles ceased in the autumn of 1905 when Hatcher retired to join the Internal Revenue Service, marking the end of the company's brief foray into the automotive industry. The vehicles produced by Brew-Hatcher were sometimes referred to as B&H.
