THEMABeschreibung
TEXTThe leading representative in the West of the tinware manufacturing industry, is the recently organized corporation known as the "A. Geisel Manufacturing Co." successor to the honored old house of which Mr. Andrew Geisel has permanently been at the head. The business was established in 1852 by Mr. Andrew Geisel upon a comparatively small scale. He early secured the preference of the best class of trade, and had to repeatedly enlarge his facilities. For many years he was located at No. 1402 Carondelet avenue, subsequently removing to Nos. 1720 and 1722 S. Broadway, where he continued for fifteen years. In January, 1891, a final removal was made to the present location, at Nos. 219, 221, 223 and 225 S. Second street, corner of Clark avenue. The present company was then incorporated with a paid up capital of $100,000, Mr. Andrew Geisel becoming the leading stockholder and its president, while Mr. Andrew H. Geisel became secretary, and Mr. Adelbert W. Geisel, superintendent, all of whom are thoroughly conversant with every detail of the business. The building is a new one, planned for the purpose, five stories and basement in height, and 75 feet by 160 in dimensions. The latest improved machinery and appliances are run by a forty-five horse power engine. On the first floor are the offices, sample room, receiving and shipping rooms; on the second floor, packing and stock rooms, and the upper floors are devoted to manufacturing and stock. In the basement, large quantities of tin plate, sheet copper, and other metals are stored, while here also are the engine and boiler. The company manufactures every description of tinware and cans, making a prominent specialty of fine pieced and japanned wares, gasoline and gas ovens, vapor stove trimmings, etc. The company is also a leading importer of tin plate, etc., and will prove large consumers of American tin plate as fast as it is put upon the market. This old concern has won its great success by always excelling in its products, while its prices cannot be duplicated elsewhere. The company issues a first-class illustrated 250 page catalogue and every jobber and dealer in tinware should have one. The trade is spread throughout Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Louisiana and west to Salt Lake City and northwest into Minnesota. President Geisel is a heavy stockholder in the Lafayette Bank, au active member of the Merchant's Exchange and is otherwise prominently identified with the best interests of St. Louis, and has done much to bring St Louis to her present commercial position.
