A Brief History of The Louis Allis Company

The Louis Allis Company reflected the ideals, character and initiative of its employees who played a dominant role in its development and progress. The company founder, Louis Allis, was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1866. Louis joined his father's firm in 1888. He advanced rapidly to the role of general purchasing agent.

In 1901, the company merged with Fraser-Chalmers Manufacturing, calling itself the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company. Louis stayed with the company until late 1901.

Allis later became interested in the Mechanical Appliance Company, which was making an electric motor. In August 1901, Allis invested in the new company, became a director, and took an active part in the management of the 15-employee company and in 1903 was elected president.

By April 1906, the growing company moved to new quarters at 427 East Stewart Street; the location of the Allis family's original homestead farm. Because motor trucks had not been introduced yet, the machinery, tools, stock and work in process were moved from the old plant to the new in horse-drawn days.

Allis foresaw that electric power could be made both economical and universal. It was while still at the Hanover Street plant that Mr. Allis perceived an industry need for specialty electric motors. The company's original product was a line of direct current (DC) motors, since alternating current (AC) was still a theory with which Steinmetz and Tesla were experimenting.
