The Mason Automobile Company was reorganised with Edward R. Mason returning as President. The company, which had been created by Fred Duesenberg, August Duesenberg, and attorney Edward R.

Mr. Maytag soon sold his interest in the company, and by 1912 the name had reverted back to Mason. The company went bankrupt in 1915 and was totally out of business by 1917. Approximately 1,500 cars were built.
