STANLEY WARE EDDY - Vol III, pg 606
A popular and progressive business man of Minneapolis is Stanley Ware Eddy,
president and treasurer of the S. W. Eddy Company, handling Ford cars, Fordson
tractors and Lincoln cars. He was born in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1887, a son of
George and Charlotte (Lee) Eddy, the former a native of Maine and the latter of
Detroit, Michigan. The maternal grandfather was a pioneer lumberman of Michigan.
In 1910 Mr. and Mrs. Eddy came to Minneapolis, where they are now living, highly
esteemed and respected citizens. To their union one child was born, Stanley Ware
of this review.
Stanley Ware Eddy received his early education in the public schools of Saginaw,
Michigan, and after putting his textbooks aside made his initial step into the
automobile business in the old Ford plant in Detroit. That was in 1907. His
close application to the thing at hand, laudable ambition and innate ability,
won for him constant promotion and subsequently he was made superintendent of a
branch plant in Minneapolis. Later he traveled and in 1916 was made sales
manager for Fordson tractors, opening the first distribution in Minnesota. In
January, 1922, he determined to enter business on his own account and organized
the S. W. Eddy Company, of which he is president and treasurer. He handles Ford
cars, Fordson tractors and Lincoln cars and is enjoying an extensive and
repre­sentative patronage. Mr. Eddy is progressive in his ideas and the best
principles of honesty and integrity govern him in all transactions.
In Frankfort, Indiana, on the 28th of September, 1911, was celebrated the
marriage of Mr. Eddy and Miss Elizabeth Van Brunt and to their union two
children have been born: Stanley W., Jr., and Bill.
Since attaining his majority Stanley Ware Eddy has given his political
endorse­ment to the republican party and the principles for which it stands. He
has never sought nor desired political preferment but he is essentially
public-spirited and no movement for the benefit of the community at large seeks
his aid in vain. Frater­nally he is identified with the Masons, having attained
the Mystic Shrine by the York Rite route. His religious faith is that of the
Congregational church and he is a zealous worker in its interests. He holds
membership in the Garage Owners Association, the Civic & Commerce Association,
Minneapolis Automobile Club, Cal-houn Commercial Club, and the Lions Club of
Minneapolis. During the World war Mr. Eddy gave unselfishly of his time and
money in the furtherance of the govern­ment's interests. He assisted in the Ford
organization for all Liberty Loan and Red Cross drives. There is no phase of the
automobile business with which Mr. Eddy is not familiar and he well merits the
success he has achieved.
