The above is half tone of Mayer
Bros. new plant. The main building
is 60 by 200 feet, two stories high,
and cost $40, 900. J. B. Nielsen & Co.,
secured the contract for the labor, and
the big structure will be completed
next week, when the work of moving
in the machinery will begin.
The front part of the building is
devoted to an Office on the first floor
and a drafting room above, with a
two story vault. A. Anderson is the
firms capable draughtsman, and he
puts in his forenoons to that work. A
large two-story shop is back OF this,
and in the rear is the big machine
shop. occupying the entire main part
of the building. 60x130 feet. There
is also a large new building for the
boiler works, and the old City mill
building has been rebuilt as a
foundry.

Mayer Bros. will put in a large
amount of heavy and costly new ma
chinery including a forty-inch by
twelve foot planer, twenty-four inch
engine lathe, and five ton travelling
crane. The latter can be used for the
first and second floor.
The engine lathe has already arrived
and is in operation in the old shop.
A pneumatic hammer has been placed
in the boiler works, that strikes 500
blows minute and drives rivets into
boilers and structural work in almost
no time. a pneumatic drill that also
rolls the fues CT boilers has also been
put in. With the aid of this improved
machinery, work is turned out
quickly.
The three brothers started in bust
ness in 1891 with one small lathe, and
have worked up large and profitable
business. From that small beginning,

they now have shop that has but one
equsl in the state, and that is locat-
ed in st. Paul. If anybody wants to
see the kind of structureal steel work
that the firm does, it can find it in the
interior of the new machine shop.
The firm now consists of Louis and
Lawrence Mayer. They employ a
large number of skilled mechanics.
They have invented and patented a
trip hammer that is being sold to
small blacksmiths all over the United
States. A number of orders have re.
Gently been coming in from California.
Thus far this year 10 of the ham.
mers have been manufactured and
sold, and the orders are increasing
from year to year.
Our citizens hardly appreciate the
magnitude of Mayer Bros. plant ani
business. To get some idea Of it,
visit should be made to the plant, OF
Rock street, near North Front.
