Wersted of Winnetka, Marmon and Roose,·elt dealer. This order position is by far the most favorable f>ver enjoyed by Marmon. Just how the Marmon decided on the name for its low priced car is now made known and reveals that hundreds of names were considered by Marmon executives for the new straight-eight before it was finally decided to name the car "Roosevelt" ·in honor of America's twenty-sixth pre3ident. Many members · of the Marmon organization as well as scores interested in the automobile industry suggested names for the new car, these ranging from name of mythological gods to name·3 of famous battles. None, however, were believed appropriate for the new straight eight, and "Roosevelt" was selected hecause of the universal appeal of the famous American.
