Revere Electric Supply Company
1952 - Revere Electric Supply went through many changes. First, Fred R. Eiseman, Sr. retired from the business and his son Fred R. Eiseman, Jr. took the reigns. Secondly, Revere moved into a spacious 70,000 square foot building. The reason for the move was twofold. Of course the company had been growing strong over the last twenty four years, but one of the instrumental reasons for the move was that the City of Chicago wanted to break down the street to make way for a new expressway, known to Chicagoans now as the Dan Ryan.

Interesting Facts: * The new location at 2501 W. Washington Blvd., Chicago, IL is where Revere resides today.

* The building has a 6" concrete floor and steel construction throughout the building.

* The building was originally a chemical plant that was owned by the Farney family. The Farney's were successful during the prohibition because they sold a certain type of medicine. Can you guess what that was?

* To this day we still get inquiries about the Farney family.
