HERMAN F. HUBER - Vol III, pg 400
Herman F. Huber, president of the Huber Brothers Manufacturing Company, is a son
of Joseph and Barbara (Witz) Huber. The father was born in Germany but was
married in New York and for some years he engaged in mining in Michigan, while
subsequently he removed to Wisconsin, where he devoted his attention to farming.
Herman F. Huber was born in Rockland, Michigan, but acquired his early
educa­tion in the public schools of Wisconsin, his parents removing to the
latter state when he was five years of age. When his school days were over he
sought employment in a general store, where he remained for two years and then
went to Racine, Wisconsin, where he was shipper and helper in a general
manufacturing business for two years. On the expiration of that period he went
on the road as a salesman for the house, which he thus represented for two
years, and at the same time his brother occupied a similar position, both of
them traveling through the Northwest. At length they determined to engage in
business on their own account and finally perfected their plans by organizing
the Huber Brothers Manufacturing Company in 1904, incorporating the business on
the 29th of December of that year. At first the firm manufactured carriage
trimmings and corresponding lines but now does a Jobbing business exclu­sively,
handling the Haag Brothers line of washing machines, cream separators, coaster
wagons, lawn mowers, buggy poles, neck yokes, sprayers and a large line of
implement supplies. In the year 1914 the brother, J. M Huber, died, and H. F.
Huber, who up to that time had been treasurer of the company and also salesman
on the road, became president and continues as the chief executive head of the
business.
On the 16th of May, 1916, Mr. Huber was married to Miss Eliza Ann Pettipher and
they have two children, Harry Edward and Robert Francis. Mr. Huber votes with
the republican party and his religious faith is evidenced in his membership in
the Epis­copal church. He belongs to the Automobile Club and to the Minneapolis
Civic & Commerce Association, all of which indicates that his interests and
activities are broad, varied and of progressive character. He stands high in
business and financial circles in Minneapolis and he has justly won the proud
American title of a self-made man, for he started out in life a poor boy and
through his own ability and unflagging industry has come to be recognized as one
of the able business men of the Northwest.
