In 1900 he built his first car named Reber. The Reber survived one year. Meanwhile he engaged the German engineer Victor Jacob from Daimel who designed cars with four cylinders and later six cylinders for him.
Their slogan was: "From steel bar to finished car". The first years there was a script only at the radiator, here you can see the radiator emblem of the last year.
