Sailer-Whitmore Foundry


ca. 1912

from P.V. Lawson's 1908 History, Winnebago County, Wisconsin : Its Cities, Towns, Resources, People Volume II:

"The Sailer-Whitmore Machine Company succeeded to the foundry and machine shop, a brick structure located on the spur canal near Tayco Street, formerly owned and equipped by James Little & Sons in 1876 for the manufacture of feed cutters and mowing machines and a general machine shop business. It was in 1891 taken over by the MacKinnon Pulley Company, who added the business of split-iron pulleys. In 1902 the company was succeeded by Sailer & Moxley. When Mr. Moxley retired in 1906 the present incorporated company assumed the management of the shop located at 315 River Street."

This version of the company manufactured machinery for paper mills and wood working.
