ARTHUR STREMEL
Arthur Stremel, president of the Stremel Brothers Manufacturing Company of
Minneapolis, was born September 21, 1866, in the city which is still his home.
His parents were Dr. Karl Oscar and Augusta Emilie (Miller) Stremel, the former
deceased, while the latter is still living in Minneapolis at the advanced age of
eighty-seven years. A sketch of Dr. Karl O. Stremel, who passed away in 1884, is
given on another page of this work.
Arthur Stremel was educated in the public schools here and when his textbooks
were put aside he entered upon an apprenticeship to the trade of sheet metal
working. He acquainted himself with the business in a most thorough manner and
then started out for himself, establishing a shop on a small scale, his place of
business being located on Plymouth avenue, between Third and Fourth streets.
There he remained for several years, but with the steady expansion of the
business he found his quarters inadequate and removed to Nicollet and Washington
avenues. After a short time he made another removal to Plymouth and Washington
and from there came to his present location at No. 1316 Third street North. Here
the com­pany principally manufactures fireproof windows and doors, having a
large plant and maintaining a store in addition. When a boy learning his trade,
Mr. Stremel's ambition was to have a store of his own and this he realized after
a strenuous struggle of many years. Today he is the owner of one of the best
general hardware stores on the north side of the city and his patronage, already
extensive, is steadily growing. He is a member of the advisory committee of the
branch bank of the First National Bank, located at Plymouth and Washington
avenues.
On the 21st of September, 1893, Mr. Stremel was married to Miss Helma V.
Eichhorn of Minneapolis and they have one son, Walter E., who is the vice
president of the Stremel Brothers Manufacturing Company.
Mr. Stremel is identified with a number of business organizations formed to
improve and promote trade conditions and relations. He belongs to the Builders
Exchange, the Manufacturers Club and to the Citizens Alliance. He is also a
member of the Athletic Club, the Old Colony Club, the Golden Valley Golf Club
and the Elks Club, as well as of the Masonic fraternity. He represents one of
the old and well known families of the city, figuring prominently in business
and social circles here from the days of villagehood and, like the city, he has
grown and developed, becoming an important figure in the industrial productivity
of Minneapolis.
