Yoars sgo Mr. Meyer commonced business In & shop erectod by his own hands, and had fa bis employ only six men; yot ho scemed to resliza from tho fliat that the trade in which ho was engagzed could be Lrought to splondid rosults fn courss of time. and conroquentiy left nothing undone to build up and extend his businesn to meet tha demnnds for his oxcellent work produced even st that car- ly day; and in tho yenrs since that timo, swhon compelled to enlargo his facilitiee for tuining off work, and even romove to & moro central posi- tion, ha hay steadily adhered to his determina- tion to allow no rival to oxcol him in the quality of gooda producad, Iu tha vear 1864 Mr; Moyer firat eatablished a dopot in Chicaga for the salo of hiy merchan- dtgo, nnd minco that date ho has outstrpped many compelitors, who avon then wors well cs- tabitalied 10 businorw, and he now stands amoug tho very firat mapufacturers. Tho first two yenrs' trade i our city demonstrated the fact that his then oxtouded facilities were luadequata to supply tho pressing demand, hence, {n the yerr 1850, ho wns _obligod to build two arge factorios at Tond du Lac, one 1Gi) by 200 fect aud throe storics in height, employed orelusively for the mannfacture of cotumon-sizo worlk, aud the other, &0 by 150 feut, two storien in helght, for making odd vizos, aud filling npecial ondess. In 1868 tho Jargo consumption of Iumber in his factories mads It advisable for him to tum attontion to tho work of manufacturing his omn lumber, and he consequontly erocted In Fond du Lac a large saw-mill, with tha capacity for cut. ting 100,000 feet per day, aud alao a shinglo-inill at tho eamo placo for the purpose of utilizing the waste material, which s large i logs ent mto frat-clnss lumber. Tho 9th of October, A. D. 1871, found tha varions establishments of AMr. Moyer all in full DLlast, cacli ona eontributing largely toward the immense trado built up by Lim. The disastrous firo of that dato ssemed, however, to appose but o momentary checl to his progrees, for he al- most immediately located hitnsolf in a temporary structure on Went Ohio streot, wharo all ordors woro promplly filiod. Trwo yoara lator saw him loeated in Lis present commodious building, Nos. 2256 and 227 Bouth Wator street, across from tho Lumber Exchnngo.

His osperionca” hos tanght him that tho beut work ean bo produced only from stock seasoned in tho natural way, hnd thet tho dry-kilos sould bo used only for taking out the finalshrinksge. Tholargo amount of lumber thus kopt oo hand from yesr to year is shown by the involco of Jan. 1, 1875, when tho stock in tho difforont yards was found to roach 17,000,000 foct, bosides shingles, lath, eto. Tho mnagnitudo of tho vurious establishmonts which havoe sprung up through the energy of tbis cno man may bo approximately judged from tho fact that tho buildligs and Jumbor-yards do- voted to hiy business occupy over fifty mcros of ground i the City of Foud du Lag, and tho tloor room of hia various factories, mills, and worke houses contaius over 221,000 squaro foot.
