Schwartz, Vic (Heading Nelson Plant - 1973)

Vic Schwartz, who has been a sales-engineer for Nelson Muffler Corporation for the last three years, last week was introduced to plant employees here as the new manager of the Neillsville plant of Nelson.

He took over his new duties Tuesday, relieving George Meyer, who will undertake a newly-created post in project development. Mr. Meyer will remain in Neillsville and will be connected with M & E Development, a subsidiary of Nelson Muffler.

Mr. Schwartz comes here from Stoughton. He plans to move his family here as soon as suitable living arrangements can be made. The family includes Mrs. Schwartz and their five daughters, only two of whom are still at home. One is in high school, the youngest is in sixth grade.

Before joining Nelson, Mr. Schwartz had experience at Allis-Chalmers in mechanical engineering. He is a native of East Troy, where he was graduated from high school, and attended Marquette University before going into the armed services.

He was introduced to employees at Nelson last Wednesday afternoon at the change in shifts by Jos. Ylvisaker, head of production for Nelson and a former manager of the Neillsville plant.
