The Bullock Electric Manufacturing Company


   The Card Electric Motor & Dynamo Company, Cincinnati, O., has changed its name to The Bullock Electric Manufacturing Company. Mr. George Bullock, president of The Bullock Electric Manufacturing Company and formerly of the Card Electric Motor & Dynamo Company, and Mr. Robert T. Lozier, formerly General Eastern Agent of the Card Electric Motor & Dynamo Company, have formed a partnership known as the Bullock Electric Company, to act as general sales agents for the Bullock Electric Manufacturing Company in the territory east of the Eastern Ohio boundary and north of the northern boundary of Virginia and West Virginia.

   The change in the old manufacturing is simply in name. As concerns the selling organization, while Mr. Lozier previously acted as the general Eastern agent for the Card Electric Motor & Dynamo Company, he and Mr. Bullock will now sell the apparatus on their own account. In addition to its regular selling organization, the Bullock Electric Company has added a well-organized engineering and construction force, so that it is well equipped to undertake complete installations, including the steam, as well as the electrical parts of power transmission and lighting plants.

   It will be remembered that the Card Electric Motor & Dynamo Company has in the past been most active in developing the application of electric power in new lines. It has met with considerable success in newspaper work, which has been found one of the most difficult fields for the application of the electric motor in its fullest development. The Bullock Electric Manufacturing Company will carry on this work of special motor applications. Mr. Bullock has associated with him some of the best engineers in the country, and in addition to the special power applications, the Bullock Electric Manufacturing Company will continue its fully developed line of standard apparatus for both power and lighting service.
    The Bullock Electric Manufacturing Company has, in addition to the New York, Boston and Philadelphia offices of the Bullock electric Company, offices in Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Spokane, Atlanta, Denver and London, Eng.

   The Bullock Electric Company has moved from the American Trust Society Building, at 150 Nassau Street, into roomy quarters in the new St. Paul Building, New York City.

   Mr. George Bullock was graduated from Cornell University in 1882, after completing a course in mechanical and electrical engineering. Apart from his connection with the Card Electric Motor & Dynamo Company, he is well-known in electric street railway circles, having constructed, financed and managed several electric roads in and about Cincinnati, and is now largely interested in the Consolidated Traction Company of that city. His interest in electrical engineering led to his connection with the Card Electric Motor & Dynamo Company at the time of its conception some eight years ago, and within the last eighteen months he has taken as active interest in that Company until now it is entirely within his control, and he has taken upon himself the management of its affairs.

   Mr. Lozier, although one of the younger men, associated himself in 1883 with the Edison Electric Light Company, having acted as one of Mr. Edison’s personal assistants in the office, factory and laboratory. At the time of the consolidation of the Edison and Thomson- Houston Companies interests in the formation of the General Electric Company, Mr. Lozier was made manager of the isolated lighting department of that Company, under Mr. S. Dana Greene, the general manager of the Lighting Department. Mr. Lozier’s technical experience will be of great aid to him in his commercial work as managing partner of the Bullock Electric Company.
