Francke (United States) - AllCarIndex

The George O. Francke Auto Company was established in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during the early 20th century, specifically between 1904 and 1905. The company focused on manufacturing automobiles, notably producing a rear-entrance tonneau model. This vehicle was powered by a 12-horsepower, 2-cylinder engine, which was sourced from the H. Fast machine shop, also located in Milwaukee.

The chassis and body of the automobiles were constructed by Francke himself, showcasing the company's commitment to local craftsmanship. However, production numbers were limited, and the company did not achieve significant commercial success. Consequently, George O. Francke eventually returned to his prior business of selling cars rather than continuing in automobile manufacturing.
