History
Mr. Maytag formed the company by purchasing a controlling interest in the Mason Automobile Company of Des Moines, Iowa in 1909. That company, which had been created by Fred Duesenberg, August Duesenberg, and lawyer Edward R. Mason, had been producing an automobile called the Mason.[1]
The former Waterloo Motor Works in Waterloo, Iowa was purchased for automobile production.[1] Maytag-Mason brought out a new four-cylinder engine and the larger car for 1910 was called Maytag. The two-cylinder engine car continued to be called the Mason.[1]
Large parts purchases did not match slowing sales and the company went into receivership in 1911.[1] Mr. Maytag sold his interest in the company, and in 1912 the company was reorganized as Mason Motor Company.[1] This company went into receivership in 1915 and was closed down by 1917. Approximately 983 Maytag cars were built.[1]

Die Mason Motor Company und ihre Vorläufer Mason Motor Car Company, Mason Automobile Company und Maytag-Mason Motor Company waren US-amerikanische Automobil- und Nutzfahrzeughersteller. Historische Bedeutung kommt den Unternehmen zu, weil erstmals von den Brüdern Fred S. Duesenberg und August S. Duesenberg entwickelte Motoren verwendeten wurden. Diese waren auch im Rennsport erfolgreich und sind Vorläufer der Duesenberg-Motoren, die den US-amerikanischen Rennsport der 1910er Jahre dominierten. Markennamen waren Mason, Maytag und Mason-Mohler. Als Galloway wurde für kurze Zeit eine Badge-Engineering-Version für die William Galloway Company produziert. Fred Duesenberg war zeitweilig Werkleiter, Konstrukteur, Teilhaber und Vorstandsmitglied im Unternehmen.- [en] Maytag-Mason Motor Company
