McGuire-Cummings Manufacturing Company

The McGuire-Cummings Manufacturing Company was a streetcar and street-railway equipment builder based in the U.S. state of Illinois.

In The Time of the Trolley, historian William D. Middleton wrote that the company "was initially active as a builder of [street]car trucks, later produced [street railway] snowplows and sweepers, and finally manufactured a general line of steam and electric railway equipment.

Its snow sweeper, in particular, "was a popular item on dozens of European tramway systems," Middleton wrote.

[3] The McGuire company was contracted in 1899 to build 60 trucks for San Francisco, 120 for Havana, Cuba, 30 pairs for the Australian Government, and finishing the order for 300 for the Northwestern Elevated Railroad of Chicago, with smaller orders from every part of the United States.

This building was planned to be five stories high and devoted entirely to sweeper, electric locomotive, and sprinkler woodwork.
