From 1912 to 1919, the Greenville Metal Products Co. of Greenville, PA, also produced the Empire. After 1912, 4 different models were produced, a five-passenger touring car and four-passenger four-door roadster with 6-cylinder engines. In addition were 4-cylinder five-passenger touring cars and two-passenger roadsters. A Greenville-made Empire is in the Waugh House, the Greenville Area Historical Society Museum.
