For the controversial Pan Motor Company of St. Paul, MN. Profiled by mnopedia.org as follows: 'In 1918, the first Pan Automobile rolled off the assembly line in St. Cloud, Minnesota. It was the beginning of the short and controversial existence of the Pan Motor Company. By the end of 1919, its president Samuel (Sam) Connor Pandolfo (1874-1960) was fined $4,000 and sentenced to ten years in prison for mail fraud. Car production had stopped and the St. Cloud community lost its bid to become a premier auto-manufacturing city.'
Pandolfo was eventually sentenced to three years in Leavenworth by judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the future baseball commissioner.
