Lemfco, Inc. has been one of the country’s highest quality iron casting manufacturers since it first opened its doors in 1912. Frank Einsweiler Sr. began working in the foundry business in the late 1800’s. In 1912 he started his own foundry, which he named Leadmine Foundry, located in Galena, Illinois on the corner of Hill Street and Water Street. Part of the original building can still be seen in the rear building of Lemfco foundry today. Due to the fact that lead mining was booming in the Galena area, the first castings he made were lead mining equipment products, such as wheels for the mining carts. Other early products included iron runners for sleighs, window sash weights, iron hog troughs, feed boxes, and feed cookers. Eventually he began making stoves called “Leadmine,” “Kitchen Queen,” and “Cold Chaser.” These were sold to Montgomery Ward, Spiegel, and Sears & Roebuck. For Frank, the foundry business was a family affair. He enlisted the help of his wife and children to make foundry cores at home in his wife’s cook-stove oven.
