NOTES:
-Pages within the pamphlets may be out of sequence because of the scanning
process.
-Numbering on these pages may include the date and sequence within each
pamphlet.
The original materials used in this project were from the FWB Fred Wesley
Brown Collection . Some documents were photocopied before they were scanned
into the PDF document and those will be available in print format. The originals
may exist either in the FWB collection or at the Western Kenosha County
Historical Society- depending on family decisions at a later date. These
materials were contributed because the family wished that the history that they
and their families have experienced can be saved for the future generations.
Some "published" documents were dismantled in order to provide a 1:1 scan of
the original item rather than a scan of a photocopy. The decision to do this was
made because the INFORMATION was more important than the media that was
used to present the information . Naturally, singular ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS
were not destroyed.
Researchers should also refer to the Valentine Digital archives which may at the
SALEM COMMUNITY LIBRARY for more images in this collection or digital
images of items that may relate to this booklet or related to the topic.

JANUARY - ~ItCH 1981

... The Tempel S'~~J'fCompany
The greatest symbol of the total
dedication to hard work for which
Tempel Smith was known is the
tremendous growth experienced by
the Company that bears his name .
His early efforts to earn a living
took Tempel, 20 years old at the
time, and two friends out to the
wheat fields of the Upper Midwest.
From Nebraska to the Dakotas and
into Canada, they hired themselves
out as fieldhands to help bring in the
harvest of 1930. The $3.00 a day
they earned included room and
board and was considered a good
wage for the early days of the
Depression.
Later that autumn, after the grain
was in, he returned to his hometown
of Chicago and went to work as a
sheet metal worker with the Webster-Chicago Company (later known
as Webcor). Within a year he was
promoted to a department foreman
and in 1933 advanced to foreman of
the lamination division .
The kind of lamination stamping
done at the time was a far cry from
today 's use of automatic high-speed
presses. Laminations were punched
on C-type inclinable presse s from
hand-fed steel strips, 8 to 10 feet
long, sheared or slit to width . Carbide tooling was also unknown. Dies
of that day were made from highspeed or high-carbon tool steel with
maximum runs of 50,000 to 75,000
strokes between grinds.

All silicon steel was hot -rollcJ anJ
full y processed; a nnealing a ft er
punching was unhearJ of. Many of
the innovations anJ in ventio ns
Tempel later brought to the industry
were a result of the incfliciencics a nd
obstacles he hac\ to deal with in his
early career.
Tempe I S rn i t h was on c o f a
dedicated group of men who ma de
Webster's growth during the '30s
and World War II possible. After 15

rentt~d from the Consumer's Com pan y under a 30-day lease whi ch
could be broken by either party with
a month's notice . It is now part of
Building 1 at Plant 1.
Punching started in January or
1946 on a used 25-ton Henry &
Wright press with tooling bought
from the Portage Tool Company ,
also newly-started. This relationship
proved to be a strong one . Portage
beca me a Tempel subsidiary in 196~

years of loyal service he made the
decision to go into busine~~ for himself. In 1945 The Tempel Manufacturing Company was incorporated.
The site of the first press room
was a 27 by 52 loot garage at 1939
W. Bryn Mawr Ave nu e on Chicago's North Side. The structure was

when it was purchased from Mrs.
Anna Oberg, widow of its founder ,
OlufOberg.
Tempel's reputation for workin ~
long hours began back then. After a
long day, it was not unusual for
T empel to take the day's office work
home with him. A typical evening's
work at the Smith home at 14 I 4
R ascher would begin after th e
children were put to bed. Tempel 's
most loyal assistant throughout h is
career, his wife, Esther, typed all th<'
day's correspondence, purcha se
orders, and billing to make sure tha r
everything got to the post office by
10:00 p.m. in time to make the last
mail. The family operation also included his sister, Mrs . Jane Sherm an. As Tempel's "Girl Friday "
she processed payroll, along with
taking care of the many details that
often came up.
The hard work was rewarded by
increased orders. As Tempel ' s
reputation for excellence and service
became better known, the rapidl y

i

~e

legacy of his labors

growing electronics and electrical industry came to the young company
for the quality laminations they
needed to m ake their products perfo rm well. More sop hi st ica t ed
equipment was added. The most
precise tooling and a utomatic highspeed presses available were put into
operation. Employment opportunities grew rapidly.
The many hardworking employees that joined the quickly expanding Company found t hat the idea of
family was part of the way that
Tempel treated all his workers .
Many of them eventually made Tempel their lifetime career because of
his personal concern for safe, clean
working conditions, good wages,
and best benefits possible.
In 1959 the na me of the business
was changed to the Tempel Steel
Company. By that time the original
garage had expanded to include
numerous other buildings around it.
Construction of new facil ities was a
continuing process. In 1966, additional facilities were acquired a t
5353 N. Elston Ave. The new P lant
2 site became the finished goods
warehouse and was home to various
t"'t\• •

!9Q-5

Corporate Headquarters and Finished Goods Warehous(' moved to
its present location at 5990 W.
Touhy Ave . in Niles 12 years later.
This larger and more modern location enabled all office departments
to I)(' rcntralizt'd .
A second manufacturing plant
was put into prod uction in 1976.
Located in Arlington Heights, the
Plant 4 Industrial and Research
Center specialized in developing im proved tcchniqm·s for the stamping
and handling of small transl()rmer
laminations.
With the Tempel market reaching
across the country, Regional Sales
and Distribution Centers were established on both coasts. A product
warehou se operatio n that had been
started in Los Angeles in 1961 was
relocated to Cerritos, California in
1978 and became the We s tern
Region Center.
That same year, an Eastern Region Center was institu ted in Edison, N ew .Jersey . This fal·ility, like
the one on the West Coast, included
a complete warehouse and sales office, thereby rea li zing Tempel
Smith's longtime dream of provid-

crs in all parts of the country.
Through his philosophy of "risk
and growth . . . growth and risk''
backed by an almost endless rescrv<'
of encrsry and supported by loya l.
dedicated employees and friends,
Tempel Smith turned that rented
garage into the expansive manufacturi ng concern that continues today.

Tradition and

Perhaps it was Tempel Smith's
early days working the wheat har·vest of the Upper Midwest that was
responsible for his creation of the
Tempel Farms (a division ofTempel
Steel) in Lake County .
In addition to its agricultural
operation, Tempel Farms is best
known for its breeding and training
of the famous Tempel Lipizzans .
Tempel initiated this contribution
to the performing arts with the im portation of 20 Lipizzari mares and
stallions in 1958.
From this bold beginning, Tempd
was well on his way to establishing a
Performing Arts Center at which the
ancient art of Classical Dressage
could be enjoyed by the public on a
regular basis. As steps toward this
goal, the Tempel Lipizzans haw
pcrf(H·mcd for four U.S. Presidents ,
numerous civic functions, · and hav<"
earned the acclaim of all who have
had the opportunity to witJ,{:ss their
mastery .

A job well done

Tempel Smith wore the flag proudly.
The pin on his lape l was his way of letting those
around him know that he was proud to he an American .
He incorporated many of the values that made our
country strong in his own personal code. These values
are clearly re presented in the letter to Mrs. Smith.
Those of us that remain to carry on his ideals have a
clear model to follow .

The Tempel Lipizzan stallion shown here performing on the
White House lawn is the type Tempel Steel Co. will donate to the
U.S. Army on Tuesday.

Lipizzans to join
elite Army unit
1 Ten Lipi zzan stallions from
Tempel Farms in Lake County are
; going to Wash ington, D.C., to join
The Old Guard, the U.S. Army's
official cere monial un it.
The horses will be officially give n
to the Army Tuesday in ceremonies
at Fort Myer, Va. Secretary of the
Army John 0 . Marsh Jr. and Army
Chief of Staff Gen. Edward Meyer
will head the list of d ignitaries
acce pting the gift on behalf of the
Army.
The Lipizzans will be used for the
The Old Guard's CaissQll Platoon.
The Old Guard is the Army honor
guard and escort for the president
• and plans and coordinates military
ceremonies held at the White House
and Pentagon and performs military
funeral rites at Arlington National
Cemetery.
Tempel Farms Lipizzans have
performed in the past four inaugural
pa r ades as we l l as i n the
Bicentennial parade and In special
exhibitions in the nation's capital.
"In the interest of preserving this
elegant and extraordinary traditon,
the Tempel Steel family, in memory
of its recently deceased founder and
: ·resident, Tempel Smith, chose to
present the Army with 10 Lipizzan

stallions," said Tempel Smith Jr.,
president of Tempel Steel Co. Tempel
Smith Sr. died Dec. 19, 1980.
The herd of 350 horses at Tempel
Farms in Old Mtll Creek is the
largest privately owned group of
Lipizzans in the world.
The Lipizzan breed originated in
Austria during the 16th century when
the Austrian Imperial Court obtained
fresh bloodstock from Spain to
improve its horses . The Tempel
Lipizzan herd was founded in 1958,
when the Tempel Steel Co. imported
20 Lipizzans from Europe to
establish a stud in America.
The Tempel stud includes every
major bloodline in the Lipizzar. breed
- Pluto, Favory, Conversano,
Neapolitano, Maestoso, Siglavy and
Incitato. The purity of the breed has
been maintained by not permitting
any cross-breeding with other kinds
of horses, Smith said.
The Tempel - Steel Co. has
sponsored appearances of Lipiaans
for numerous charitable and
patriotic groups across the nation.
There are plans to establish a
performing arts center "where the
artistic beauty of the horses can be
enjoyed by the public on a regular
basis," Smith said.

PERSERVERANCE COACH by Shanks of London

* ****
at East Good Luck Farms (Tempel Farm)
Wadsworth Road • Wadsworth, Illinois
Auction conducted by Martin Auctioneers, Inc.
Catalogue Price:

USA & Canada • $12.00

Overseas - $18.00

As October draws near, excitement is building up among equine
driving enthusiasts and carriage collectors from all parts of the
world just as it did many years ago when the late Tempel Smith
of Illinois imported from England, a carriage collection known
as, The Perseverance Collection. Mr. Smith continued to purchase carriages throughout the United States with the able
assistance of Mr. David Wright of M. J. Knoud, New York City.
On several occasions, Mr. Wright traveled to Europe in search
of coaches and carriages to assist in building a carriage collection at Tempel Farms. As time has passed since Mr. Smith's
death, the executors of Tempel Farms have decided to liquidate
the carriage collection at absolute auction (without reserve), with
the exception of one horse drawn carriage, auction #15, a double deck London trolley. This carriage only, will be sold with a
reasonable reserve. The last bidder will be informed immediately
upon the conclusion of the bidding whether or not he/she is successful in the purchase of the trolley. The auction will not include any horses; it is a liquidation of the horse drawn vehicles
only.
Mr. John Maugers of Thimbleby & Shorland, Reading, England,
very knowledgeable on European carriages and carriage
builders, will assist Larry and Paul Martin on Friday afternoon,
October 7th in a very interesting seminar which is open to the
public. At the auction on Saturday, October 8th, he will introduce
the European coaches and carriages.
On behalf of The Smith Family and Martin Auctioneers, Inc.,
we (Larry and Paul Martin, Jr.) wish to take this opportunity to
thank you in advance for your participation in this event.

These carriages, including appointments, etc. have
been in storage for many years. Many of the poles
and shafts were placed in storage when they arrived from Europe. Unfortunately, when taking
photographs for advertising, we were unable to sort
out all poles, shafts and seat cushions for the
coaches and carriages. Every effort will be made
to have all appointments with the carriages by sale
time.
Extra poles and shafts will be sold at the auction,
as well as, extra lamps which are not listed in this
catalogue. Many sets of harness including state
and coaching harness will be unpacked week of
sale.
Of course, this will be a plus to all interested parties attending this great auction.
The 'A' numbers following each carriage, coach or
sleigh are open for appointments including lamps,

LOT #15- LONDON PVBUC OMNIBUS

Of the Star Omnibus Co. These fell mainly into two types, "garden
seat" and "Knifeboard", according to the form of their roof seating;

this being of the former type. Although made and used in enormus
numbers, few have survived, having been of no value when replaced
by motor buses and being too large to store; so they tended to be used as chicken houses or just rotted away or were burnt. This omnibus
is a very fine example, from the Perseverance collection; still with its
original wording inside, including fares details, advertisements and the
Metropolitan Stage Carriage license number. Exterior details include
the company writing, route details and advertisement, but the latter
may not be original. There are inside seats for twelve, and fourteen
can be seated on top. Its previous owner, Mr. George Matthey, lent
it to the famous Tyrwhitt-Drake Museum of Carriages in Maidstone,
England, for many years.
PLEASE NOTE: This is the only carriage being sold with the right
of refusaL The last bidder will be informed immediately upon the conclusion of the bidding whether or not he/she is successful in the purchase of the trolley.

plate engraved with route details including stops, times and team
changes. The interior is boarded, in common with many of the stage
coaches of the genuine coaching era, although this is most likely to
have been built in the "Revival" period, when it ran on the London
to Dorking Road from 1874 in the hands of different syndicates and
proprietors, further details of which are available. A genuine road coach
with a history, built by a leading firm, this was of course the coach
after which was named the English carriage collection and jobmastering business from which it came in 1967. Has folding ladder and extra
leader bars. (Lamps sell separately following coach).

LOT #40- ROYAL MAIL COACH

By Vidler (who has held the General Post Office contract for many years.) Has drag
chain and brake; pole. This also came from the Perseverance collection.
Royal Mail coaches were introduced into England in 1874 to replace the unsatisfactory
system of 'Post Boys' who took the mail bags throughout the country on horseback.
Later mail coaches were built to General Post Office patterns and specifications and
were operated under contract for a mileage payment. In addition to the mails, they car·
ried passengers, although less than the rival stage coaches, and were fastest of all the
coaches on the roads, maintaining amazing!y accurate time schedules throughout their
long journeys and averaging anything up to 11 miles per hour, including stops for team
changes and refreshments. Unlike other traffic, they were not sub;ect to the payment
of tolls and their guards used to clear the roads (and signal to the toll-gate keepers to
open their gates) with a call on their horns.
Further research into the history of this example from the Perseverance collection reveals
that it was purchased from the late Mr. Er.ic Goodey, who dealt in coaches and other
horse-drawn vehicles. He apparently found it in the 1950's, though opinions about its
location and identity differ, and it was restored in Royal Mail livery for Mr. George Mat·
they, proprietor of Perseverance Jobmasters. lts authentidty is somewhat weakened
by the revelation that the number painted on the side (in Mail Coach tradition) was the
number of Mr. Matthey's house in Paimeira Avenue, Hovel

\ By Sterkx of London. Bevelled glass windows, except front one, has
· mirro..rs in side brass clock case. The original hansom cab was design·
-ed and patented in 1834 by J. A. Hansom, an architect, and in 1836
his company bought and patented the design for the much improved
version upon which the universally adopted versions were based. They
were produced in enormous numbers and used in all major towns and
cities of Great Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century and
first two decades of this century. They were, however, best known
as London cabs and were often called the "Gondola of London". In
latter decades of their use some very sophisticated and smart han·
soms were to be seen, often run commercially by aristocrats who had
fallen on hard times; and many were made for the private use of the
gentlemen of town households. This example by Sterkx is a good quali·
ty cab with door opening mechanism for driver operation, buttoned
leather upholstery and the usual speaking hatch in the roof; broken
· ..
shafts. From the Perseverance collection.
