After college Ralph returned to the family business where, by then, they were assembling engines for several cars including the McFarlen, built in Connersville. Ralph carried the custom work further by designing his own car, a 3-passenger roadster with a six-cylinder Teetor engine. By 1914 the engine business was growing fast and the company name was changed to Teetor-Hartley Motor Company. There automotive customers included Peerless, Wite, Willy's Overland, Marmon, American, Chevrolet, and Packard.Use of this image is restrictred to projects related to Destination Indiana.
