Louis H. Thurow, extensive box manufacturer, was born in Pomerania, Germany,
September 14, 1860, son of William and Wilhelmina (Voght) Thurow. He received a good education in
the old country and learned his trade as a cabinetmaker. At the age of eighteen he came to Winona from
Germany, and secured work in a flour mill for several years. Then he entered the employ of the Bohn
Manufacturing Co., and remained in its employ for twenty-seven years. In 1907 he started a box
manufacturing plant at 625 West Tenth Street. The business grew immediately, and is now one of
Winona's large industries. The present shops are located on West Third street, at the corner of Wilson.
Mr. Thurow is the sole owner and proprietor. He manufactures wooden boxes, box "shocks," crates,
beer and soda cases, window and door frames, poultry coops and the like. Mr. Thurow is a member of
the Dryads and of the Eureka Club. The subject of this sketch was married in May, 1885, to Emma

From the Winona Republican-Herald, 6 Mar 1907, p. 3:

AN INDUSTRY FOR WINONA

A Small Factory is to be Operatin in
This City by Two
Local Men
---------
MAKE EUREKA MOP WRINGER

The Device is Practical One and is
Being Received With Much Favor
--- Many of the Machines Are Now
in Use Here.
---------
A new manufacturing industry is now being started in Winona on a small scale with every prospect
that it will grow to much larger proportions. The gentlemen back of the enterprise are L. Thurow and
Arthur J. Smith, and the article which they have started to make is the Eureka mop wringer. The device
is a practical one and has already found much favor with those who have given it a trial. It is the
invention of Mr. Thurow. The first machine was made in WInona about four months ago.
The many good points of the device and the favor with which it has been received have encouraged
Messsrs. Thurow and Smith to engage in its manufacture. Up to the present time they have had the
machine made at some of the woodworking plants in the city, but now they have decided to engage in its
manufacture themselves, and have accordingly proceeded to the erection and equipment of a small
factory budiling and expect to begin making the mop wringers in a about a week or two. The factory
builing is located on West Howard street and is a frame structure 20 by 35 feet in size and two stories
high. The manufacturing business will be carried on on the ground floor and the second floor will be
used for storage. An electric motor will furnish the desired power.
There are already fifty of these machines in use in WInona and these are creating a demand for more.
At the courthouse and the Winona they are in use. A few shipments have been made outside the city.
Withe the completion and equipment of the factory building an endeavor will be made to push the sale

of the machines, and it is expected the business will grow very considerably in the near future.
The Eureka mop wringer is buildt and designed for speed, durability, service and strength. With it a a
wonderful pressure is produced with only light leverage power aided by four rollers. Large rollers
spread the mop and small rollers regulate the speed. The machine is being made in three different sizes,
ten inch for flat or residnece use, twelve inch a medium size for general work, and the large fourteen inch
for all around work. The movement of the mop thru the rollers is produced by turning a small crank,
doing away with the use of both feet and also the strain of the back. The two main rollers of the wringer
are of hardwood. The first or feed roller is deeply corregated as to more easily raise the mop thru the
rollers. Both rollers are deeply grooved on each side crossways so to prevent the water from flowing
over the edges of the pail. The pail may be quickly changed or emptied without moving any part of the
wringer.

From the Winona Republican-Herald, 17 Oct 1907, p. 8:

INDUSTRY OF BOX MAKING
---------
Has Been Started in Winona and Ap-
pears to Have Bright
Future
---------
STARTED BY LOUIS THUROW

If it Secures the Home Patronage it
Deserves it Should Become a Very
Successful Undertaking - On West
Howard Street
---------
A manufacturing industry which has been started on a small scale but for which there appears to be a
large field if the encouragement of home patronage is bestowed is being carried on by Louis Thurow at
625 West Howard street. Mr. Thorow has engaged in the manufacture of boxes. He has since the
winter been associated wtih A.J. Smisth in the making of patent mop wringers, and now the box making
will be carried on at the same place, but it is expected to enlarge the industry considerably.
While Mr. Thurow has been interested in this business for some little time the work has been done by
Charles Beeman, but now Mr. Thorow has resigned his poisition with the Empire Lumber company and
is giving his whole time to this work. At present Mr. Beeman is not there owing to an injury he recently
received to one of his fingers, but when he has recovered from this he will return.
The box factory is now at work on a large order received from the Interestate Packing company for
crates for its products. The demand for these creates will be more or less permanent and will alone give
quite a little business to the factory. THre are many other manufacturing institutions here which use a
good many boxes in the shipment of their product and Mr. Thurow proposed to docnuct his buisness in
such a way as to merit and receive this patronage.
The quarters at present occupied on West Howard street are a two story barn. The lower floor of
this has been fitted up into a workshop, and the upper floor is used for storage. FOr the present it is
large enough to meet needs, but if the business grows enlarged quarters will be provided as necessary.
Mr. Thorow, who has carefully looked over the ground, figures that there is plenty of business in this
line in Winona to give steady employment to at least eight hands and he hopes to work up to the point
where this number will be engaged.
Meanwhile the manufacture of the mop wringers will not be abandoned. An extended writeup of
these wringers and their particular merits was given in these columns last spring. There are quite a
number of these wringers now in use in Winona and they have received the hearty endorsement of those
using them. As their merits become better known outside the city the demand for them is expected to
increase. As yet they have been but little represented on the road. But by pushing their sale the number
to be made could be increased quite materially
Many a large manufacturing institution has grown from such a small beginning as this and Winona

desires to encourage small as well as large manufacturing institutions.
