Notes
  • Significance: By the most conservative account, the M.M. Secor Trunk Company was one of the largest trunk and traveling bag manufacturers in Southeastern Wisconsin. It was possibly one of the largest in the country. This building is one of the factory buildings which are remnants of a large industry which once thrived on the lake shore in Racine. Secor, himself, was important as a major industrialist, a two term mayor, and a source of local amusement. Secor played a significant role in the immigration movement as an employer of his countrymen. He influenced labor history in Racine in pioneering high wages, unionization, and paid vacations.
