In its lifetime, the company built passenger cars and trucks, but it was best known for the latter. The company became dependent on government contracts in the 1940s and 1950s, but by 1954 continuing losses led to a takeover by a group of majority stockholders.

    ARCHIVES James Scripps Booth (1888-1954) and John McLaughlin Booth (1913-1989) Papers 1907-1980 6 linear ft. plus 2 oversize boxes Acquisition Number: 1990-14 Acquisition: This collection was a gift to the Cranbrook Archives by Ellen Norlen Booth, with several additions thereafter. Access: Access to the collection is unrestricted. Copyright: Copyright to this collection is held by the Cranbrook Educational Community. Photographs: Photographs, negatives, and photograph albums were removed and housed with the Photograph Collection. The glass plate negatives are housed in the storage closet in the office of the Archivist (2002). Index: Located at end of finding aid. Also included is an inventory of the artwork of James Scripps Booth. Processing: In July 2002, additional artwork of James Scripps Booth’s was located in a portfolio. It was inventoried by Leslie S. Edwards and re-housed in an acid-free box. The finding aid was updated at that time. 1 Provenance The personal papers, paintings, and drawings of James Scripps Booth (1888-1954) in the Cranbrook Archives were created and assembled by Mr. Booth during his lifetime. After his death on September 13, 1954 in Norwalk, Connecticut, the ownership of these materials passed to his widow, Ellen Norlen Booth. Mrs. Booth maintained custody of the materials for some time but, owing to the lack of proper storage facilities in her own home, decided to deposit the bulk of her husband's personal papers and many of his drawings, paintings, and sketches, with James' son, John M. Booth, who had ample climate-controlled space for preserving the collection in his residence.
