H. A. EINHORN (Herbert A. Einhorn) - Vol II, pg 618
Prominent among the business men of Minneapolis is H. A. Einhorn, president of
the Builders Sideboard Company, the only enterprise of its kind in the
northwest. He was born in Winona, Minnesota, in 1874, a son of Michael and
Barbara (Kro'udwich) Einhorn. They were natives of Germany and came to this
country with their parents when children, locating in Illinois. After their
marriage they continued to reside in that state for a time but later came to
Minnesota and settled at Winona. There the father followed building contracting
and farming until his demise.
The public schools of Winona afforded H. A. Einhorn his early education and
after putting his textbooks aside he learned the carpenter's trade, which he
followed for several years. In 1896 he came to Minneapolis and made his initial
step as a cabinet worker. He was active in that connection six years and in 1902
organized the Builders Side­board Company, of which he is president. The first
plant was located at Sixth street and First avenue, North. In 1905, however, the
plant was moved to the present site at 115 Fifth street, Northeast. When Mr.
Einhorn started in the business he con­ducted it on a small scale and its growth
has been remarkable. He now employs from seventy-five to one hundred men in the
plant and provides them with the best of working conditions, thereby promoting
their efficiency. The plant specializes in built-in features for present-day
homes and is the only concern of its kind in the Northwest. Mr. Einhorn
possesses untiring energy, is quick of perception, forms his plans readily and
is determined in their execution, and his close application to busi­ness and his
excellent management have brought to him the high degree of prosperity which is
his today.
In Winona, in 1897, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Einhorn and Miss Katie
Mahl, a daughter of Fred Mahl and a member of one of the oldest families in this
section of the state. To their union two children have been born: Genevieve and
Jerome.
In his political views Mr. Einhorn is a republican, having firm belief in the
prin­ciples of that party as factors in good government. He is a consistent
communicant of the Catholic church and along the line of his work holds
membership in the Manu­facturers Club and the Woodworkers Association. The
greater part of Mr. Einhorn's time and attention is given to his business. He is
fond of motoring and has taken many long tours throughout the country.
