TOMAHAWK IRON WORKS. This substantial industry was established in 1890 by the late W. H. Bradley and in June, l906, was purchased by William Drever and J. H. Knaggs, since which time it has been greatly enlarged and much modern machinery installed. This Company manufactures new machinery of different kinds, but specialize in various lines, such as locomotive, car and mill repairs, steam fitting, structural steel, foundry and boiler shop work. A number of sawmill refuse burners and many towering smoke stacks, in this northern section, were erected by this Company, who employ about 30 mechanics the year round. William Drever, President and Treasurer of the Company, came to Tomahawk eighteen years ago and has been in the machine shop business for more than 30 years. He is a master mechanic from choice, necessity and force of habit. His services have won an excellent reputation for the Company in the saw and paper mill industry in this section and his list of acquaintances covers a wide territory. J. H.. Knaggs, Vice President, came to Tomahawk eight years ago. He is a practical boiler maker of 30 years experience and on account of his ability has established an enviable reputation among the many competitors of the Company. He is thoroughly familiar with every department of the boiler business and has probably superintended the erection of more smoke stacks, refuse burners and steel structural work, than any other man plying his trade in this northern section. This Company have worked up an excellent trade which extends to the northern border of the state as well as for 60 or 70 miles west along the Soo Line and some distance south among their competitors. They not only make a specialty of repairing and overhauling locomotives but buy and sell the same. Tomahawk is indeed fortunate in having an institution of so permanent and substantial standing. This plant is not located here for a day or a year for these men believe in Tomahawk and its future; they are here to stay and to add to their already increasing business as necessity demands.
