Cuddeford eventually sold to Unger and then it was Huitt and Engle before Schlosser.

Schlosser Machine has certainly been a major plus to the Hood River area over the years. Willing to work on anything from a flower pot hanger for the wife to the heavy industrial equipment, all with a smile.

Good to see pictures of their old place.

in the late 1940's and early 50's, I lived in the building to the left of this machine shop. But Charlott, I remember it spelled as Hewitt's Machine Shop. I also remember that out back of the shop, they just threw all of their metal scrap and there was a very big pile of them.

Sometimes I wish I had a really old Hood River phone book to look up things like the name of the machine shop. I thought it was Houitts. Or at least it had an OU in the name.

Spent many a visit in this old shop as a youngster. Was always fascinated to watch them welding and grinding on the old wood floors. Amazed it never burnt down.

In the early 1970's we needed a couple of new Irrigation gates made. Someone told us to just take the measurements into Schlossers and they would make us what we needed.
I took the measurements into that place in the photo and they made us what we needed. I thought of all the years my dad, as a farmer, would have given anything to have a place like that to go to.
Through the years, we have used Schlossers for the odds and ends projects.

Norma, I thought that place was called Huottes.
