Up to that year Europe had held a dominant position in automobile manufacture and shipments to the United States exceeded their imports. It was midst this surge of the American automobile industry, that the Colby Motor Company came into being. William Colby, prince of salesmen (much like Professor Hill) sold stock in the company at $100 per share.
