Tales of Southwest Michigan's Past

The Page Brothers Buggy Company - Marshall, Michigan


Listen Later

In this episode, I explore the history of the Page Brothers Buggy Company that existed in Marshall, Michigan from 1869 - 1917.  The Founder of the Company William L. Page, brought into the enterprise his brothers Lucius Franklin Page and Egbert E. Page as the company grew.  Lucius would remain a major stock holder, and serve as a director until the company sold in 1917.  Egbert was 10 years younger than Lucius, and would serve as the Secretary and Treasurer for 30+ years.  The company would eventually see its demise with the rise in popularity of the automobile, but in its time, the company manufactured over 5000 buggys a year and shipped them all over the U.S and in Europe, and they were highly respected for their quality craftsmanship.
