Galloway & Co.
William Galloway began his engine business in 1906. Through the purchase of Cascaden Mfg. Company of Waterloo, Iowa, Galloway gained an established business — Cascaden had previously purchased the Davis Gasoline Engine Company, also of Waterloo. A 1907 Galloway catalog illustrates the “Sucess” 1 1/2 horsepower air-cooled model. Featuring spark plug ignition, this engine used a 3 3/4 x 4-inch bore and stroke. The list price was $48.50. This engine was not built in the Galloway factories but originated in a southern Wisconsin factory.
history
The Galloway 5 horsepower engine was introduced in 1908 and was available as a portable engine for $130 or a stationary for $119. The unusually long stroke was typical of the entire Galloway line. From its beginnings, Galloway used the mail-order approach with elaborate catalogs being a major sales tool. By 1908 the Galloway line has become a purely Waterloo-built product. During 1908 the Galloway line also included 10, 15, 18, 22, and 28 horsepower sizes. The 10 horsepower engine shown here was presumable the largest hopper-cooled model for 1908, with the remaining sizes being of closed jacket design. Introduced in 1916, the Galloway Masterpiece Six marked the advent of an entirely new Galloway series. A 1916 Galloway catalog devoted several pages to this engine alone, with Bill Galloway stating at one point that “I stake my reputation on this engine.
