THE "WHEEL RIGS" MAN
Life story of Marshall B. Lloyd of Menominee, Michigan.
Marshall Burns Lloyd
Just over forty years ago he was dragging a boy's wagon full of soap behind him and peddling its contents at Toronto back doors. Today he is owner of a million-dollar manufacturing plant and has sold his foreign patent rights in numerous inventions for three or four times that amount.
Reared on an Ontario farm near Meaford, young Lloyd left school at an early age to assist his father in a shingle mill.
Here he introduced his first "invention" in the shape of eaves troughs for houses and barns. These he made from cedar poles split, and with the centres removed. The family moved into Meaford and Marshall B. set up in business as a fish salesman, spearing his stock in trade in the Georgian Bay and selling it from a wheelbarrow in a house to house canvass. A job as delivery boy in the ideal store followed and on the transfer of the business to Toronto the young inventor turned his hands to the making of an improved clothes hamper.
A flattering offer from his old Meaford employer of "$8.00 per month, board and room," brought the boy to Toronto where he became an employee in the John L. Milkie store at 424 Younge Street, on the corner of Buchanan immediately south of College. Mr. Milkie who had a dash of nomadic blood himself, again removed his store, this time to Port Arthur leaving his Meaford assistant behind in the city. It was a time when jobs were scarce and it prompted the discarded apprentice to force the hand of Fortune.
With his last money he bought a stock of soap. Borrowing a small boy's wagon he set out to conquer his world.
"I guess the women felt sorry for me because I was so small" said Mr. Lloyd to an interviewer recently.
"They bought enough soap to last them a long, long while. I kept at the game until I thought I had sold enough to keep all Toronto clean until the millenium.
Having no fixed ambition to become a soap baron the young peddler next turned his attention to cheap jewelry. With one of his soap boxes for a platform and armed with a tray of glittering near gems and trinkets he startled Younge street with his eloquence.
"Well, sir, it was a great business" declared Mr. Lloyd, and his tone seemed to indicate that nothing in his subsequent amazingly successful career has given him quite the same up-and-down-the spine joyous feelings that he experienced when he awoke the down-town echoes forty years ago, "yelling like blue murder"-to quote his own phrase and selling broaches and earrings like hot waffles.
"I saved one of my old soap boxes because I was so small that I had to stand on something in order to be heard" he explained.
"I'll never forget that first day in the jewelry business. My small figure voice fighting the stage fright and queer antics soon attracted a crowd.
Before saying a word I pulled out my handkerchief and performed a few simple tricks. I promised to do the greatest trick ever known after I had sold a few pieces of jewelry, but we all forgot about the famous trick long before I was through selling. I had a special line of alleged poetry for my goods and one phrase that I recall was: "If you present this to your Isabella she will never leave you for another fella!"
When business in the city showed signs of slackening, the young merchant bought a horse and buggy and carried the good work into the country districts. Other lines of merchandise were gradually added and the widening itinerary finally landed the peddler at Port Arthur. Here be became mail carrier with a train of dogs and a sleigh of mail. Then he traded his watch for a railroad ticket to Winnipeg. Arriving there without funds he served as a waiter in a hotel. Acting on a tip concerning a piece of ground he secured an option on the plot, which he sold at a profit of $150. With this money he opened a real estate office and when he decided to pull out of Winnipeg he took with him $15,000.
Lloyd's next essay was a United States farmer. From that he passed to insurance. One day he stood watching two men fill and weigh grain sacks. He decided that one man was enough for such a job and he accordingly invented a scale and bag holder that cut the cost of labor in two.
Renting a blacksmith shop, he started to manufacture his new invention but hardly was he under way before a disastrous fire cleaned him out. Without funds he accepted a position as a shoe salesman.
Lloyd Manufacturing Company
The invention of a wire weaving machine for making door and table mats brought him half interest in the C.O. White Manufacturing Co. of Minneapolis, a concern making baby carriages. A later invention to make bedsprings and mattresses was so successful that he was able to buy out his partner and change the name of the firm to the Lloyd Manufacturing Co. The sale of his patent rights in foreign countries put the concern on a sound basis.
Other successful inventions followed and fifteen years ago the Lloyd plant was removed to Menominee, Michigan where it is now located. It was here that Mr. Lloyd brought out a new process, a machinery for making steel tubing. The Steel Corporation at Pittsburgh turned down the invention as "crazy" but later paid the inventor many thousand of dollars for using his method.
Lloyd Carriages
Mr. Lloyd's most famous discovery is a loom to weave wicker baby carriages, an invention for which he refused $1,000,000 and for the Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and British rights of which he received $1,500,000.
The new Lloyd loom can weave a baby carriage in any desired shape or contour in fifteen minutes. Previously, it took a hand weaver an entire day to perform the same work.

Now one loom does the work of thirty weavers. The output of the plant has been increased by 600 percent and the number of employees only 25 per cent. The floor space of the plant has not been added to but a great new factory has been erected for the weaving of wicker furniture.
I was too busy in those days to take in very lasting impressions of my physical surroundings. I can recall but little detail of Toronto as I knew it then. The town was a good one and live for its size. I doubt very much if I should be able to recognize your fine city of today, with the Toronto of my boyhood struggles. I always found the people very generous. This was particularly true of the women who, instead of haggling with me about the price of my soap, paid me most liberally.
Mr. Lloyd has been Mayor of Menominee, Michigan for two terms. He invented so many improvements into political government that he was known as "Efficiency" Lloyd, a name that has stuck and by which he is generally known.
