It is an industry illustrating the wonderful possibilities of modern methods of manufacture. Mr. Pflueger, the president of the company, at one time was pursuing the making of novelties as a side line to his regular work. His home industry was the manufacture of rosettes out of tin as ornaments for the harness of horses. later he made artificial baits for fishermen, and while the business from time to time manufactured a number of different novelties, in time the resources of the plant were concentrated upon the making of fishing tackle, rods, flies, minnows and other artificial bait, and particularly hooks, until this has become the largest plant in the world for the manufacture of fish hooks, which are made to the number of several hundred million every year. Ernest A. Pflueger was born at Erie, Pennsylvania, December 6, 1866, son of Ernest F. Pflueger and Julia (Dunnebeck) Pflueger. His father was born in Germany in 1843, and as an orphan boy came to America with a brother and sister and grew up in Buffalo, New York. He became a molder by trade, and in 1868 established a home at Akron. He worked for the Erie Stove Company, and subsequently was engaged in the retail grocery business until about 1880. He had been of an inventive turn of mind as a boy, and by 1880 had taken out patents on over fifty of his original devices. In 1880 he engaged in manufacturing, establishing the Enterprise Manufacturing Company for the making of fishing tackle and similar lines. Ernest F. Pflueger died at Akron, November 18, 1890, and his wife passed away in 1905. Their son, Ernest Andrew Pflueger, was reared in Akron, attended public schools to the age of fourteen, and soon afterwards he began adding his individual genius and work to the business of his father's factory. In 1882 he became secretary and treasurer of the Enterprise Manufacturing company, and for a number of years past has been president and treasurer of that organization. He is also a director of the First Trust and Savings Bank, and president and of the Manufacturers' Association of Fishing Tackle of the Untied States. He is a member of the executive committee of the Akron Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Portage Country club, a director of the Akron City Club, a member of the Portage Fish and Game Association, and of Trinity Lutheran Church.

Fraternally he is affiliated with the Royal Arch Chapter, Council , Knights Templar Commandery. Scottish Rite Consistory and the Mystic Shrine. Mr. Pflueger married in 1896 Miss Ruth Seiberling, youngest daughter of J.F. Seiberling, and a sister of Frank A. and Charles W. Seiberling. Four children were born to their marriage. The son John S. is a graduate of Cornell University, was a lieutenant in the Aviation Corps during the World war, and is now in the insurance business at Akron.
