Maze Nails - La Salle & Peru, IL Extra | John McGivern's Main Streets

Показать описание

In this bonus clip, learn how Maze Lumber led to the founding of Maze Nails, a family enterprise that began in 1848. Hear how their ancestor started making zinc nails to give away with roofing shingles—an offer that sparked demand from other lumberyards. See how those early pure-zinc nails evolved into today’s steel nails coated with zinc, and discover why “nail whiskers” are a surprising byproduct of the manufacturing process. You’ll also get a peek at the nearby rental homes owned by Maze Nails.
