by the Monarch Motor Car Company from 1913 to 1917.
Joseph Bloom founded the company in the spring of 1913; by August, the company moved into the former Carhartt Motor Car Company
factory. The car itself was designed by Bloom's brother-in-law Robert C. Hupp, of Hupmobile
fame. The small 4-cylinder
car sold in the US$
1000 range. Production commenced later that year and 150 had been produced by spring of 1914.

"And they have the nerve to say I'm the weird one."
to the author-breaking the fourth wall: "We need a deus ex machina|deus ex machina, and you're deus!"
"We have a saying about our women, 'can't live with 'em, can't sacrifice them to giant, primitive alien beast gods!'"
