Acme Motor Car Company

The Acme Motor Car Company was founded in 1901 by James C. Reber in Reading, Pennsylvania. Its industry was automobiles and its headquarters remained in Reading, Pennsylvania. The company was sold to Devlin & Company in 1905, and again in 1906 to Herbert M. Sternbergh when Acme went into receivership. In 1911, the company sold its site and plant to J. H. Sternbergh, who went on to create the S.G.V. Company. S.G.V. automobiles were manufactured by Acme until 1912.
