Avery Company
Known primarily for steam engines, tractors, and threshers, Avery Compant aslo entered the stationary engine business. Offered in 30,45, and 65 horsepower sizers, these four-cylinder engines were nothing more than Avery tractor engines adapted to stationary use. These engines along with the other Avery motors were built by Davis Mfg. Co. of Milwaukee. This firm was eventually purchased by Avery.
history
Avery Company began as R.H. & C.M. Avery Company and was a farm implement business founded by Robert Hanneman Avery and his brother John after the Civil War. However, sales did not take off and the company faced bankruptcy. In 1872, they restarted the Avery Company. They built a large line of products, including steam engines, beginning in 1891. They expanded their market nationwide and overseas but the company faltered in the 1920s when they failed to innovate. For a time they manufactured trucks and then automobiles until they finally yielded to an agricultural crisis and the Great Depression.
