Biography/History
William J. Grede (pronounced “Grady”), industrialist and political conservative, was born in Milwaukee on February 24, 1897, the son of Henry L. and Fanny G. (Kunkel) Grede. He attended Milwaukee public schools, graduated from South Division High School, and was a student at the University of Wisconsin from 1915 to 1917. He left the university in the fall of 1917 to work at Wagner Castings Company, a foundry in Decatur, Illinois. The next year, after officer's training school, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Army Infantry. Shortly after the World War I armistice he returned to his work in Decatur and in 1919 married Margaret Weiss of Milwaukee. They had two daughters, Janet (Mrs. Burleigh E. Jacobs) and Betty (Mrs. Walter S. Davis).
In 1920, Grede purchased and operated the Liberty Foundry in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The business was incorporated in 1923. Grede and his associates acquired controlling interest in the Spring City Foundry of Waukesha, Wisconsin, in 1927. The next year Grede's brother Arthur associated with him, and the two men took over the management of the Milwaukee Steel Foundry. In 1931 and 1940 the three companies were merged to form Grede Foundries, Incorporated. William J. Grede continued as president of this corporation, which eventually included seven foundries--four in Wisconsin, one in Michigan, and two in Kansas. In 1960 he relinquished the presidency to his son-in-law, Burleigh E. Jacobs, and became chairman of the board of directors. In 1967 the Elkhart, Indiana, plant was discontinued and in 1966, Midwest Foundry in Wichita, Kansas, was purchased. In 1976, Hartmann Manufacturing Company of Hutchinson, Kansas, became part of the group.
Throughout his business career, Grede was strongly opposed to unionization efforts by his employees, but always strived for close relationships with them; even before unionization was introduced he had a history of improving company benefits, having instituted a program of group life insurance in 1924, paid vacations in 1926, and accident and health insurance in 1927. A company pension plan was installed in 1947, followed shortly thereafter by a profit-sharing plan for the supervisory and administrative employees.
Grede's association with the J.I. Case Company, manufacturer of heavy farm and industrial equipment, began in 1953 when he became a director of the company. Three years later he was elected as the first chairman of a newly organized executive committee. In February 1960 he was elected president of the company and chairman of the board.
A man of deep convictions, Grede is an outspoken defender of the competitive free enterprise system, individual freedom, and traditional American values, which he has tried to preserve through his activities as corporate executive, as president (1951-1953) of the National Association of Manufacturers, and as a co-founder of the John Birch Society (1958). This philosophy of individual dignity and freedom was also expressed through his close affiliation with the YMCA, where he served on local, regional, and national boards and as national president from 1952 to 1954. With a keen interest in world YMCA work, he led drives from 1958 to 1965 in the United States and Canada that raised six million of an eighteen million dollar total for the construction or renovation of YMCA buildings around the globe. Through his speeches, he expounded his philosophies to YMCA audiences, manufacturing organizations, and academic groups throughout South America, Europe, Africa, and the Orient.
In 1950, in order to keep the last conservative press in the area in operation, Grede and his brother Arthur purchased a firm which published small town weekly newspapers in Wauwatosa, Brookfield, and Elm Grove. Grede's other activities included a directorship of Thomas Industries, Inc., of Louisville, Kentucky (46 years). He also served for 15 years (1953-1968) as a member of the trustees of Carroll College in Waukesha and as a Class B Director of the 7th Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (1947-1961).
Mr. Grede was the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees including the Gold Medal for Good Citizenship from the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in 1953. Grede was the first Wisconsin resident to receive this award. At this writing [1980], he continues to be a concerned and active defender of the political right.
Scope and Content Note
The papers which document the full-range of Grede's business and civic activities are arranged in five series based on type of record: Correspondence, Subject Files, Speech Material, Sound Recordings, and News Clippings. Major subject concentrations of the collection include Mr. Grede's involvement in Grede Foundries, the J.I. Case Company, the John Birch Society, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), and the YMCA. Extensive labor files contain material illustrating Grede's stand on unions and union activity, as well as his thoughts on labor management. Also of note are Grede's papers relating to Carroll College, the Rampart College Freedom School, Grede Publishing Corporation, the League to Uphold Congregational Principles, and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
The CORRESPONDENCE file records fifty years of Grede's business and public concerns. It is an alphabetical file organized by correspondent or subject and details his business, political, and civic relationships. Included in the file are copies of letters from prominent individuals, including Dwight D. Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Hubert H. Humphrey, John F. Kennedy, Joseph R. McCarthy, Richard M. Nixon, and Robert A. Taft. Originals are in the vault at the State Historical Society and photocopies are in the boxes of the collection. [See the list of prominent correspondents in Appendix I of this finding aid for dates of letters.]
Grede's SUBJECT FILES include minutes, memoranda, financial records, and publications stemming from his various public activities. Included is a biographical file on William J. Grede. Files in the Grede Foundries material document Grede's involvement in the management of each individual foundry site as well as general policies and publications. J.I. Case Company records include minutes, memoranda, and financial papers of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, annual and quarterly reports, and various other financial and fiscal papers. Grede's Labor papers contain a vast amount of material on unionization, union elections, labor and employee policies, negotiations, and management labor strategy, both at Grede Foundries and elsewhere. Included are notes, memoranda, legal documents, employee lists, and election results from the Iron Mountain, Milwaukee Steel, Reedsburg, and Smith Steel Divisions, and the Spring City Foundry. Also of note are transcripts and related papers from National War Labor Board and National Labor Relations Board cases, primarily focusing on complaints of unlawful discharge for union activity, and legal papers and notes from the Tri-Partite Panel of the Regional Board of the NLRB, 1938-1946, on which Grede served. The John Birch Society papers document Grede's role as an associate of Robert Welch and as finance chairman of the Society. Grede's activity as president, public spokesman, and taxation committee member of the NAM is chronicled in the National Association of Manufacturers files. YMCA papers document Grede's local, national, and international activities and travels, with particular emphasis on the National Board, the North Central Area Council, and the Milwaukee YMCA.
The extensive speaking engagements of William J. Grede during his busy career are documented in the SPEECH MATERIAL. This series consists of handwritten notes on index cards, arranged alphabetically by host city and organization, and rough drafts and final copies of speeches, arranged chronologically. Topics include the need for less government, the benefits of the capitalist system, the importance of individualism, and the danger of communism.
SOUND RECORDINGS supplement the speech material and subject files of the collection. One section of this series consists of Edison Voicewriter disc recordings of telephone conversations and short speeches. Other tape recordings include talks to employees and speeches on behalf of the John Birch Society.
The NEWS CLIPPINGS have been microfilmed. They document Grade's activities on the Carroll College Board of Trustees and with the Freedom School, Grede Publishing Corporation, and especially his involvement in the J.I. Case Company, the John Birch Society, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the YMCA.
