Overview
Overview
It was promoted as "the Mercedes of the tri-car world". The company also produced motorcycles in 1904–1905. The Addison touring car and tri-car were shown and well received by The Motor at the ninth Liverpool Motor Show. In January 1912, it was reported that the company was so successful that they had to open a separate showroom at 7 Berry Street in Liverpool for their Alldays and Phoenix cars. Another car the company sold was the Speedwell. Around 1922, the company expanded to a larger garage.
