 Topic: Louis Allis sign
Posted: 16 Dec 2018 at 5:22pm |
Thinking of selling this. At one time it sort of fit in with my collection .They had no connection with Allis Chalmers from the research I have done .I just thought it was a cool old sign .

Just because you do not have the tools for job , it dose not make it a bad design.

In 1901 E. P. Allis & Co. merged with Gates Iron Works and Fraser & Chalmers Co. to create Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. Allis-Chalmers began manufacturing farm tractors in 1914. As the result of a series of mergers and divestments, the remnants of Allis Chalmers are part of AGCO Corp. A son of E. P. Allis, Louis Allis, worked for his father's company for a while but left in 1901, just before the merger that created Allis-Chalmers. He invested in Mechanical Appliance Co., a Milwaukee maker of DC motors. In 1903 he became president and in 1922 the company name was changed to Louis Allis Co. Louis Allis motors are commonly found on older industrial woodworking machines

I have seen Louis Allis electric motors in a veneer plant.
