Thursday. October 17. 1963 THE McHENBY PLADTDEALER Page Nine FIRM MAKES CONTRIBUTION TO INDUSTRY Success Of Rae Motors Notable In Recent Years One of McHenry's newest and most successful industrial firms is Rae Motors, located just south of Rt. 120, west of McHenry. The modern plant, 20,000 square feet in size, was erected in 1961, and is headquarters for the firm which formerly operated out of Racine, Wis. Rae Motors has 128 employees, of which number 103 work in the plant and twentyfive in the office, with an annual payroll of $500,000. Products manufactured here are varied, all classified as light assembly work. Among them are revolving lights of the type used on ambulance motors (all less than 1 horsepower) and Rock-Ola juke box motors. Motors are made to order, and include AC, DC, AC-DC, shunt motors and permanent magnet motors. All of the items made at Rae Motors are sold to manufacturing firms to be used in conjunction with other products. There are no salesmen employed by the firm, but instead the company uses manufacturing representatives. There are seven foremen employed to head the various operations, including the large, special milling machines, winding, etc. Two engineers work for the firm for the express purpose of designing products according to specifications. Rae Motors came into being in 1946. The firm which started with annual sales of $50,000 has expanded to the point that yearly sales now total $1,500,000. Allen Petersen is president of the firm; Everett Hansen is vice-president and treasurer and Herbert Rothering is sec retary. In view of figure comparisons in the volume of business and sales increases through the years, it can readily be seen why McHenry has so heartily welcomed Rae Motors as part of the local industrial expansion program.

Their main food is boxelder seeds. Insecticides are believed to be the best hope for practical controll. Those who are bothered by them are uryed to spray the trunks and ground around the trunks of seed-bearing boxelder trees in the fall. Lindane, 1.5 per cent spray is said to give a quick kill.
