(January 20, 1840 – November 9, 1893)
Was founder and proprietor of Martin Maier Trunk and Bag Company (est. 1865), which specialized in making specialty and sample trunks. His company was one of the largest distributors of luggage and leather goods in the mid-west, based in Detroit at 55 Monroe Avenue, then moved to 102 Woodward Avenue in 1873.TRUNK AND BAG COMPANY
After the war, he moved back to Detroit where he would marry Elizabeth Dorman on May 3, 1866, and have six children. Martin Maier & Co. was established when he helped coordinate an establishment with two friends. The trio built a business block on 55 Monroe Avenue, each occupying one-third of the block. The joint company specialized in a shoe store, and Maier managed a trunk and harness shop, until the business was burned out. Maier left the group and moved his business to 102 Woodward Avenue in 1873, where it would remain until his death. The high commercial integrity of Martin Maier & Co. was a result of an unbroken policy of fair treatment to patrons, the \"practice of only dependable merchandize\". Before his business flourished, he contracted the manufacture of trunk parts that were made elsewhere, which was usually the case for many beginning trunk companies. But his company prospered so that Maier expanded the business to a four-story block on Twelfth Street, between Port and Abbott streets, where his trunks would be constructed entirely. Maier was prolific in producing patented designs that would make his trunks have a unique style. A distinguishing high-quality feature was the issuing of uniquely built oak slat trunks. On much of his trunks, two M\'s would be stamped in pieces of the metal hardware, particularly his dome-tops. Maier was a devout Lutheran, and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was also a Republican, but avoided politics as to keep to the integrity of his business and maintain a bipartisan profile for the sake of some of his patrons.
