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 .  ------------- He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless ,still dead. If all else fails ,Read all that is PRINTED. |

In 1901 E. P. Allis & Co. merged with Gates Iron Works and Fraser & Chalmers Co. to create http://www.vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?ID=23" rel="nofollow - - 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 http://www.vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=2192" rel="nofollow - Louis Allis motors are commonly found on older industrial woodworking machines ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I have seen Louis Allis electric motors in a veneer plant. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |
