At the time, all three companies supplied the burgeoning U.S. automobile industry: Victor Peninsular produced cap screws and cold forged parts; Richard Brothers Die Works manufactured dies used to form steel automobile components; and Indiana Lamp supplied the electric headlights of the early mass-produced automobiles. In its first year of operation Allied Products netted $794,000, a figure that was not matched until the mid-1940s. Nineteen twenty-eight was not an auspicious year in which to start a business. The stock market crash of 1929 and subsequent depression affected all American business, but the growing auto industry was relatively unscathed and was one of the primary leaders of the financial recovery. After posting four years of losses during the early 1930s, Allied returned to profitability in 1934 and remained in the black for the next 25 years. As the automobile industry prospered, Allied also grew, with sales reaching $8 million by 1949. In 1951 Allied acquired the Michigan Powdered Metal Products Co., adding ground metal parts for automobiles and aircraft to the company's line of products. By the mid-1950s the company was operating eight manufacturing plants in Michigan and netting about $1 million annually. When the auto industry slumped in the late 1950s, Allied began to look for other sources of revenue. The company had been producing various types of metal fasteners for industrial use for years but now stepped up their presence in this market by acquiring in a reverse merger the assets of Pheoll Manufacturing Co., one of the leaders in the metal fastener industry.PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS AS I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING!
