Based in Chicago, Illinois, Henry Holsman produced Holsman highwheelers from 1903 through 1910. They may have been the first automaker to build the high-wheeler. The design made it easier to driver over the challenging rural roads of the day. Production during their first year was an impresive 327 units. This increased to 687 the following year, followed by 1,113 vehicles for 1905. This increase in production created a need to expand their plant capaicty and to continue work 24 hours a day.
By 1910, his company had entered into receivership. Henry Holsman then moved west to Plano and began producing a vehicle similar to the Holsman, which he called the Independent Harvester.
