GOVERNOR JULIUS P. HEIL Governor Heil has taken over the governor- ship of Wisconsin with the determination to make his administration beneficial to the state. Julius Heil was born in Duesmond an der Mosel, Germany, and came to this country at the age of four. The family settled in a log cabin at New Berlin, Wisconsin. A short time after, the Heils bought a farm at Prospect Hill in Waukesha County and it was there that Julius spent his early youth. Always a hard worker, he helped on the farm, attended school, and clerked at the Winton General Store in Prospect Hill. W hen he was twelve years old, Julius, whose home was then in Milwaukee, lost both his parents. He then followed a varied career. He sold news- papers on the Milwaukee road, was apprenticed to a blacksmith in a farm machinery manu- facturing company, and later fired boilers in a Milwaukee manufacturing plant. When one of the Fauch brothers invented the process of welding iron rails for street cars, Julius, becom- ing proficient in the business, was sent to Buenos Aires to install the first street railway. When he returned to Milwaukee at the age of 28, Heil went into the electric welding business, for him- self, starting The Heil Company of today. Heil is a man of his word; once he makes up his mind it cannot be changed. He is a true friend and is loyal through thick and thin. He is a home loving person, and because he is easy to talk to, understanding and solicitous of the com- fort of other people, he makes a wonderful host. Governor Heil enjoys talking and is a very good conversationalist. He is a believer in philosophy and delights in using many homespun words. 27
