  ALEXANDER W. MCLEAN, who during the past ten years has been engaged in business in Kaukauna, is now the principal owner and manager of a large factory for the manufacture of papermaking machinery. He was born in Canada in 1841, and when he was twenty-two years of age came to Wisconsin, settling first at Fond du Lac, where for thirty-seven years he was in the employ of the Northwestern Railroad, working his way up from a humble position in the shops to the office of master mechanic of the Appleton Division. On January 1, 1895, Mr. McLean came to Kaukauna, and in 1900 bought the shop of William Laggert, which he has since operated as the Kaukauna Machine Works. Mr. McLean manufactures paper mill machinery, including pulp and wallpaper machinery, and one of the factory's specialties is the "Columbia Slotter and Winder," which has a large sale, and which has been patented by Mr. McLean. The foundry used by the works is 75x50 feet, while the machine shop is 75x100 feet, electric power being used throughout and from twelve to twenty skilled mechanics being employed. Mr. McLean is an enterprising and progressive business man, and has made a place for his goods in markets all over the United States and Canada, as well as having his full share of the trade of the numerous paper mills lying in the Fox River valley. On January 28, 1874, Mr. McLean was married in Fond du Lac to Lizzie B. McLaughlin, a native of the State of Maine, and they have been the parents of one daughter, Anne B. Mr. McLean is well known in fraternal circles, having attained to the thirty-second degree in Masonry.
