Products:
Gas, gasoline, kerosene and alcohol engines, pumping jacks and cream separators, and engine accessories.
These engines are adapted for the mill or shop owner, dairyman and farmer, more particularly the latter. On every farm there is certain work to be done, such as corn shelling, wood sawing, fodder cutting, feed grinding, cream separating, churning and various other operations that require power. The gasoline engine can be used for a great many purposes, any of which can be better accomplished by its use than by the old methods of windmill, steam, horse or hand power.
There are two types of cream separators manufactured at this plant, the "Bluebell" ^ the "Dairymaid," each built in four sizes.
[1907 Annual Report, p 35]
The manufacture of harvesting machines was transferred to McCormick Works in 1905. "The Milwaukee Works was remodeled and enlarged, and is now one of the most modern and best equipped plants in the country for the production of gasoline engines and cream separators." [1907 Annual Report, p 14]
Unfortunately, I don't know Milwaukee well enough to even try to find where this plant used to be.

From what I can tell, the original factory was located at 1714 West Bruce Street in Milwaukee, but it doesn't look like much of the original building is still standing. Hope this helps :)
