FREDERICK W. SEELERT
One of the popular young business men of Minneapolis is Frederick W. Seelert,
part owner of the Northwestern Machine & Tool Works. He was born in Germany and
in that country received his early education. In 1902 he came to the United
States with his parents and took up the trade of machinist and toolmaker,
becoming appren­ticed to the trade in Hamilton, Ohio. In 1910 he came to
Minneapolis and worked in various machine shops until July, 1920, when he joined
Gust M. Ruhnke in the organization of the Northwestern Machine & Tool Works at
318-20 Third avenue South. They engage in the manufacture of all kinds of
machinery, do cylinder grinding, gear cutting, etc. There is no phase of the
business with which Mr. Seelert is not familiar and he is proving himself a
capable and progressive young business man. He devotes his entire time and
attention to the business and is achieving well-merited success.
In politics Mr. Seelert maintains an independent course, giving his support to
the man he thinks best fitted for the office, without regard for party
principles. Although he has had little time for political affairs, he is
essentially public-spirited and is con­versant on all the important questions
and issues of the day. Fraternally he is a Mason, holding membership in Arcana
Lodge, F. & A. M., Minneapolis Consistory of the Scottish Rite, and Zuhrah
Temple of the Mystic Shrine. The best principles of honesty and integrity have
governed Mr. Seelert in all transactions and he is held in high esteem by all
who know him.
