DUBUQUE STAMPING AND ENAMELING WORKS. In 1891 Dubuque Stamping and Enameling Company was founded in Dubuque by investors including Paul TRAUT who served the company as vice-president. (1)

The business was destroyed by fire in 1893 with one fatality. (2) The company was quickly back in business, however, because the following year the city council ordered 800 street signs at 30 cents per sign from the Dubuque Stamping and Enameling Works to be placed on the street corners. (3) ---
