About Meguiars

[Mark2]

I feel very related to Meguiars becouse we have a bakery in our family that was founded 1852. Meguiars has just like us been around for a very long time and the business has been passed on from father to son. I'm slowly taking over. That's just one reason I like Meguiars

Wow that's very special! I've been told Meguiar's is one of the oldest family owned businesses in America still owned and operated by the family.

Just for fun could you share a picture of the bakery? How about delivery wagons or vehicles, does the family have anything old they used to deliver baked goods in?

Thanks Mike.
I remember I have seen pictures of the old delivery vans, what a great idea to show a picture of one here. I just have to find them, some of the old stuff isn't very organised at the moment though

That is very special Mark!

The last company that I used to work for was family run from just after the Civil War until the late 1960's when they sold the company.

The name (W S Tyler) is still in use today, but it is owned by a company from Finland called Metso.

Maybe you've heard of Metso?.....They used to be called Nordberg at one time too.

Thanks RB
Sure I know Metso, it's a well known company here in Finland.
A few pictures from the old bakery, sorry for the small size, I don't know how to get them bigger, although they really are bigger

Thanks Rusty Bumper and thanks Mike, I know how busy you are. You don't get this much help on many other online forums.

I really must try this program the next time I post any pictures here.

Those pictures are from the former location. 1915 our bakery moved to another adress and the old building was thorn down and replaced with another.
