Logo of "Allis Chalmers - Milwaukee" at top with the following text below:

This marks the site of Meinard Rumely's Blacksmith Shop where in 1853 he built his first threshing machine.

In the factory later erected here were produced pioneering steam engines and steam plowing engines, and in 1908 parts for the first oil-burning tractor.

The M. Rumely Company gave leadership in opening the way for modern power farming.

Its successor The Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. placed this marker in 1939.
