English: The Parker Motor Car Company of Seattle operated an automobile showroom on Broadway from about 1913-1928. Run by Frank Loyal Parker (1884-1954), the company also promoted the Ajax model, which was designed by Frank's brother, Charles Leslie Parker (1882-1959), and manufactured by the Ajax Motors Company, run by another brother, George Clyde Parker (1886-1953). The brothers had moved from Colorado around 1905 with their parents. George and Charles later ran a furnace company.
