Father | Oscar Winfield Mapes b. 1848, d. 1932 |

Winfield Harvey Mapes was born on 16 September 1871 at Middletown, Orange County, NY. He married Jennie A Brink on 9 November 1892. He married Myrta Reed, daughter of Samuel Wells Reed and Mary Frances Cortright, on 17 December 1902. He died on 10 January 1952 at age 80. He was buried in the Howells Cemetery in Howells.
Winfield H. Mapes was elected President of the Mapes Family Association in 1924.3 Winfield Harvey Mapes was born on a little farm in Orange County, NY on Sept. 16, 1871. He spent his boyhood on his father's farm and in January 1899, he came to New York City to collect a bill for a few cases of eggs shipped to a retail dealer at 213 Columbus Ave.
The dealer having no ready money, adjusted the account by turning the store over to Mapes. January 1, 1899, the morning that he took possession, there were eight inches of snow on the ground and one of his first duties was to deliver 100 quarts of bottled milk to families in the immediate neighborhood.
A pushcart made from a soap box mounted on baby carriage wheels was the conveyor with Mapes as the motive power. You cannot imagine a more homesick boy than he was that first week in New York.
After about 1 year he migrated to a basement on Fourteenth St, which was rented at $10 per month. and launched in the wholesale egg business. After three years he moved to 671 Hudson St., and paid $40 per month for quarters on the ground floor. Until this time Mapes was salesman, egg candler and bookkeeper.
On April 1, 1910 a Company was organized with $50,000 Capital Stock, and a building at 17 Harrison St. was leased. In 1912 the Capital Stock was increased to $100,000 and a contract was entered into with Acker, Merrall & Condit Company, retail and wholesale grocers, to furnish them with all their eggs and most of their butter. The relations were very close for eight years, Mapes becoming a director in Acker, Merrall & Condit Company.
Relations were severed in 1918 when the W.S. Douglass Company was purchased by the W. H. Mapes Company and at that time the Capitol Stock was increased to $200,000. The store at 137 Reade St, where the W. S. Douglass Company was located, was leased by the W. H. Mapes Company and the business continued to expand at a rapid pace until it was necessary to move to larger quarters and the building at 176 Duane St. was leased.
The safe transportation of eggs from producer to consumer presented a problem that seemed incapable of practical solution. The breakage was so tremendous that railroad carriers of the United States had a rule under which they would not allow any claim for egg breakage of less tha 5% which was considered normal breakage with the ordinary dividing board which was then used in egg packing. This meant that unless there were more than 1 1/2 dozen loss in each 30 dozen case the loss would have to be borne by the shipper.
In the fall of 1921, W.H. Mapes saw merit in a ring or cup support dividing board which would support the egg and at the same time be practical, if properly made. He bought the patent from the inventor and devoted his entire time and resources on this new type of packing for eggs. He purchased a molded paper manufacturing plant near Chicago and organized the Mapes Paper Products Corporation to perfect this dividing board and manufacture it for commercial use. It was in this plant the first cup flat was perfected and the demand for this packing was so great that it was necessary to build another plant in Kansas City. By 1926, these two plants were turning out over one million of these dividing boards or flats as they were called, every day and the Mapes Consolidated Manufacturing Company, the present company, is the largest manufacturer in the world of cushion egg flats which are used in packing eggs for shipping or storage. Many millions of cases of eggs are packed, shipped and sold in the United States annually and the saving in egg breakage due to the use of the cup flats amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
(I believe the above was written by Christian Guthy, who served as secretary for W.H. Mapes for many years.)
W.H., as he was known in business, was listed as dealing in produce at 671 Hudson and 24 9th Ave in the 1907 Manhatten directory.
Mapes Consolidated was taken over by Packaging Corporation of America which eventually was bought out by Tenneco. W.H. and his family lived in a large house in Glen Ridge, NJ from the 1930's to the 1950's.
Winfield H. Mapes was elected President of the Mapes Family Association in 1924.3 Winfield Harvey Mapes was born on a little farm in Orange County, NY on Sept. 16, 1871. He spent his boyhood on his father's farm and in January 1899, he came to New York City to collect a bill for a few cases of eggs shipped to a retail dealer at 213 Columbus Ave.
The dealer having no ready money, adjusted the account by turning the store over to Mapes. January 1, 1899, the morning that he took possession, there were eight inches of snow on the ground and one of his first duties was to deliver 100 quarts of bottled milk to families in the immediate neighborhood.
A pushcart made from a soap box mounted on baby carriage wheels was the conveyor with Mapes as the motive power. You cannot imagine a more homesick boy than he was that first week in New York.
