L. B. SIGWART

     Commercial activity in Eugene finds an able representative in L. B.
Sigwart, who has made the electrical business the ladder by which he has
achieved success. Having acquired a public school education in Omaha, Nebraska,
he learned the trade of an electrician in that state and for seven years was
engaged in that line of work in Illinois. In 1913 he came to Eugene and
purchased the business of the Hunter Electric Company at No. 933 Willamette
street. He then organized the Sigwart Electric Company, of which he has since
been the executive head, and in September, 1925, moved to his present location
at No.956 Willamette street, purchasing the building. At first he was an
electrical dealer and contractor and in addition he now installs electrical
equipment of all kinds. He conducts a service station and has the local agency
for the Westinghouse products. He handles the Savage washing machine and the
Kelvinator, the oldest domestic electric refrigeration, as well as a complete
line of fixtures and other electrical supplies. He enjoys his work, in which he
has acquired expert skill, and is conducting a large and rapidly growing
business, displaying keen sagacity in its management.
     Mr. Sigwart was united in marriage to Miss Dee Davidson, who was born in
Scotland and during her childhood was brought to the United States. Mr. Sigwart
is identified with the Masonic order and the Rotary Club. He is also a member of
the Eugene Country Club and the Chamber of Commerce. Stable, in purpose, quick
in perception and energetic in action, he has steadily progressed toward the
goal of success, and the sterling traits of his character have won for him a
secure place in the esteem of his fellow citizens.
