     ALBERT L. MAEDER, head of the Maeder Steel Products Company, of Portland, 
is a man of thorough technical training and broad experience and since 
establishing his present business has enjoyed well merited success. Born in 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in October, 1880, he is a son of J. F. and Bertha 
Maeder, who are still living in that city, the father being retired from 
active affairs. Mr. Maeder, having attended the public and high schools of his 
native city, entered the University of Pittsburgh, from which he was graduated 
in engineering in 1901. During the following ten years he was variously 
employed in engineering lines, and in 1905 paid a visit to Portland. In 1910 
he became a permanent resident of this city and established a steel fabric 
brokerage business, which he conducted until 1919, when he organized the 
Maeder Steel Products Company, of which he is president, and has since been 
engaged in a general steel jobbing business and in metal fabrication. He owns 
a well equipped plant, two hundred by one hundred feet, at 617 Vaughn street, 
in which he employs from three to eight skilled workmen, and has two traveling 
representatives, who sell throughout Oregon and southwestern Washington, as 
well as a number of subagents.

     In 1913 Mr. Maeder was united in marriage to Miss Pauline Roenicke, of 
Portland, and they are the parents of two children, John and Alvera. Mr. 
Maeder gives his political support to the republican party and is a member of 
Portland Lodge, No. 55, A. F. & A. M.; Portland Consistory, A. A. S. R.; Al 
Kader Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S.; Portland Lodge, No. 142, B. P. O. E., and the 
Progressive Business Men's Club. He is a man of sincere purpose, practical in 
his business methods and straightforward in manner, and commands the genuine 
regard of all who have come in contact with him.
