"WATERTOWN SLIDE" DINING TABLE W/
"WATERTOWN SLIDE" DINING TABLE W/ LEAVESGorgeous dividing base four-leg dining table with two leaves and tapered legs; stamped underneath "The Watertown Slide"; measures approximately 30-1/4" tall, 44" wide, 54" deep without leaves, and 90-1/4" deep with leaves; in Good overall condition with light wear and fading.
The Watertown Table-Slide Company was established in 1889 with Emil W. Schultz (early business man) as president, Max H. Gaebler and Richard Blaesius; the business was incorporated in 1891. Its capital in 1917 was twenty-five thousand dollars with an earned surplus of sixty thousand dollars also in the business.
The company's plant was located on Hart Street south of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad tracks and had its own spur track. Here they had three and a half acres of ground on which are several buildings and three dry kilns. They manufactured patented slides for extension tables and their product was sold exclusively to table manufacturers, mostly in carload lots, throughout the United States and Canada.
The material used was principally birch and the annual consumption was a million and a half feet of lumber in 1917. The dry kiln capacity was two hundred thousand feet and the equipment of the plant was first class, all special machines used being designed by the company's secretary and treasurer, Max H. Gaebler. The company's success was largely due to the stubborn energy of its former president, Emil W. Schultz, who was its manager until his death, June 27, 1916.
