            On Thursday afternoon of last week at the office of Chr. J. Miller in this city the first stockholders meeting of Waupaca’s new manufacturing company, the Acme Brass and Metal Works was held.  The stockholders of this company are those who purchased the plant of the defunct Jorgenson Manufacturing Company, at the time it was sold by the referee in bankruptcy in September.

            The meeting was called for the purpose of organization and the election of a board of directors.  Following the work of organization and the adoption of the by-laws, J.M. Braun and B.C. Koepke of Appleton; and Louis Larson, E.W. Nelson and C.J. Pommer of this city were elected as directors.  Immediately following the stockholders meeting the newly named board of directors met and elected the following officers:

                        J.M. Braun, president

                        Louis Larson, vice-president

                        E.W. Nelson, secretary

                        C.J. Pommer, treasurer

            On Tuesday of this week the first regular meeting of the board of directors was held.  It was decided to start the operation of the plant on Monday, Oct. 15^th, and S.K. Wood was engaged as general sales manager.

            At the start the new company will fill orders for the Jorgenson Vapor Primer and do a general line of brass and metal casting work.  As time goes on it is planned to take on several other lines.

            The com[any has been incorporated for $75,000.00 under the laws of the state of Wisconsin, and the officers who have been selected to have charge of the company’s affairs represent the best type of successful businessmen, and are fully capable of conducting an enterprise of this nature in the way it should be conducted.  The general officer of the company will be located at the plant.

            The policy of the Acme Brass and Metal Works will be one of economy and good business methods, with the end in view of making it an industry that the community will be proud of, and one that will mean much to the industrial future of the city.
