Script looks to say 'Lambert' - this was a relatively prominent American make from 1906-1917.

Lambert cars had more conventional shape radiators.

Looks to me it could say something more like 'Speedwell'?

Apparently a 25 hp model from 1907 - http://svvs.org/help160.shtml - but it may be the same car as in your older photo, obviously from quite a few years earlier.
