History

William A. De Shaum was William A Shaum with a new name. After building the Shaum automobile in Baltimore, he arrived in Buffalo in 1906 and built a high wheeler for C. Rossler Manufacturing Company. [2]

In 1908 he formed the De Shaum Motor Syndicate Company and began building a high-wheeler under his own name. High-wheeler sales were on the decline and for 1909 he renamed the De Shaum as the Seven Little Buffaloes.[1]

De Shaum was out of business before the end of the year and began a new venture in Hornell, New York in 1910. No cars were ever produced in Hornell and he left for Michigan where he formed a new De Shaum Motor Car Company and the Suburban Motor Car Company.[1]
