    Centennial Souvenir Program, 1954
    O'Fallon Tool & Die Company

     The O'Fallon Tool & Die Company is owned by a partnership consisting of James J. Lautz, Ivan S. Meyer, and Maurice H. Heien. The business began in 1945 at 127 West First Street, and at that time business was on a very moderate scale with the three partners actually performing the work in the shop. One appretice was hired and as work increased more men were hired until a total of ten men were on the payroll.

     By October, 1950, the company had outgrown the quarters at 127 West First Street and purchased the Independent Engineering Company building at 111 West Second Street, their present location. At the present time the company employs thirty-five persons. The company has the necessary machinery for the manufacture of dies, jigs, tools, fixtures, gages, and special machinery.

     The O'Fallon Tool & Die Company is now considered one of the best equipped in the St. Louis area.
