In 1900 the Lozier Motor Company left its bicycle manufacturing business in Cleveland, Ohio and relocated to Plattsburgh, New York. The company built marine engines and passenger boats in a factory on the corner of Margaret Street and Cumberland Avenue. Realizing that boat manufacturing was a seasonal business, the construction and sale of boats was negatively impacted by the long North Country winters.
The Lozier Motor Company switched to the booming industry of automobile production in 1905.
