NEW WAY LIVERY - Yes it's uniform.
New Way Motor Company had 2 flagship colors for the main engine body and flywheels and shroud of it's early models of engine. These were a deep red and green. In addition the intricate Cylinder castings were painted silver and company promotional lettering such as around the perimeter of the flywheel/s was painted in a deep yellow to gold color.
DECORATIVE ARTWORK
Engines were shipped well decorated with the likes of flowers on the crankcase. This applied to both the vertical and Horizontal engines. Flowers were generally depicted with leaves and white petals set on greenish stems. On vertical engines this display could be seen on the lower crankcase as well as forming a decorative border around the brass ID plate on the upper half of the crankcase.
I expect the decorative flowers touch was an effort to appeal to the farmer's wife should she be using the engine to drive a washing machine or the like in the home.
