THE LARGE CONCERNS OF

NOW EMPLOYS TWENTY-FIVE MEN
AND WILL EMPLOY 100 AS
THE WORK PROGRESSES

The Danielson Tool Co., local cor.
poration formed under the laws of the
State of Wisconsin with 500 900 OF
capital, OF which T. H. Jacob is pres.
ident; John Lull, secretary; Geo
Stolze, treasurer and Frank Danielson
vice-president, has recently been
formed and are now doing business in
their new factory on the west end OF
Fulton st.
The Danielson Tool Co. are success
sors OF the Danielson Engine Works
| corporation formed under the laws
| of Illinois and doing business in Chi
cago for the last four or five years,
and manufacturing Ford garage and
| service equipment, which are namely
| tools for speeding up the repair work
of Ford cars. The Chicago concern
were the originators of these tools,
which are now being widely copied by
other concerns.
Mr.. Danielson, who is the mechan-
icaf genius of the concern is the or
iginator OF the tools, which they made
in Chicago and of many of the new
tools, being made here. T. H. Jacob,
the local representative of the Ford
car in this city, Merrill, Amigo and
Eland, is somewhat of an inventor
himself and has made many tools
which he has used in his garages.
which have greatly facilitated the
handllng OF the cars accurately and
increasing the speed of the work.
These tools will also be made, togeth-
er with new tools which have been
developed.
The new factory which is 20Ox7O is
modern, with steam heat plant, and
is fast becoming equipped with mod
ern machinery of all kinds, so that the
tools which they are making will be
made entirely within their own plant.
At present the castings are being
made by the D. j. Murray Manufacture
ing company.
The concern anticipates a growth
in the future, which will warrent their
erecting another plant for the furnace
and other equipment, which will be
added as the concern grows.
The product will be marketed en-
tirely by mail, except such trips as
Mr.. Jacob will make. The Ford COM
pany is responsible for the marketing
OF the product to a great extent. The
tools which the local company makes
are so greatly to the advantage of
garages in doing better work and in
speeding up the work, that the Ford
company have found it to the advant-
age of the Ford business generally to
advocate the purchase of these tools.
In many cases where the garage own
ers are not modern enough to wish
to purchase these tools of their own
initiative, the Ford company have gone
so far as to order for them and see
that they paid for them when they
came.
Orders from the United States gov
eminent have also been booked for
the burning-in-machines and other
equipment. This is the first that our
government has bought for their post
office department, which now are us
ing almost wholly Ford trucks and
White trucks.
The local company have received in
quiries from the British government
ordnance department of the army in
India, asking for the prices and date
OF delivery. This business in now I'M
der negotiation. Also they have re-
celved business from New Zealand,
and numbers of exporters, who are
endeavoring to secure the entire for
eign right of sale, of territory out
side of the United States.
Many jobbers all over the country
are clamoring for the goods The or
ders are so numerous that It will take
considerable time before the company
Will be able to swing clear.
IT,
company to this city, the local COM
pany did not bring any of the work
men here except Mr.. Frank Danielson
and his two sons, so that the workmen
are entirely local, being drilled and
skilled to doing the work. The COM
pany are now employing about 25 men.
although just recently having started
up.
The building which they are in was
commenced July LIST and they expect
to employ within the year 100 or more
depending upon the speed with which
the business can be developed.
So far as the orders are concerned
there seems to be plenty of business in
sight to take care of any expansion
which trey can reach. Mr.. Jacob will
be general manager, Mr.. Danielson
will be mechanical engineer, Mr.. Geo.
Stolze will be the factory production
superintendent The directors of the
