The dentist indicated that he would come to Milan two days a week, at the Stimpson Hotel. There is a deed dated Jan. 12, 1901 where James Doyle sold property to Walter F. Stimpson for $800, and it was obviously the land where he built the hotel.  Liber 151, page 503.  Milan Leader newspaper clipping, date unknown, states:  “Stimpson commenced erection of the new $10,000 hotel in the spring and it was ready for occupancy (in the summer?).  The mason work was done by Geo.

Stimpson, Walter

Walter Franklin Stimpson, the inventor of the Stimpson computing scale, was born Sept. 20, 1870 in Saline Township.  His parents were William and Maria Hurd Stimpson.  Walter went to the Cleary Business College in Ypsilanti.  In 1893 he invented the computing scale that made him wealthy.  He originally set up a plant in Milan in 1894 to produce his scale, in the same place where the Ideal Furnace Company was located later on.  Then he moved the production to Tecumseh.  In 1896, production moved to Elkhart, IN.  He and the plant managers got into a bitter legal dispute about his patent rights.  Stimpson prevailed in federal court.  By 1900, that matter was settled and production continued in Detroit.  Stimpson invented some other items for grocery stores such as meat choppers and coffee grinders. Source: Past and Present Washtenaw County 1906.

Stimpson Walter F.

One of the main inventors of computing scales in Michigan history was Walter F. Stimpson, a teacher in Milan.  While in Milan and Detroit, he obtained 31 patents.  Louis Jaenichen of Detroit was the only Michigan inventor of the time with more patents than Stimpson:  39.  The big breakthrough for the fledgling scales industry came with the idea of a teacher from Milan to record, in a simple way, the weight and price of grocery items, such as meat and produce, in one single step. Thereby, the useful computing scale was born.  Source: The Historical Society of Michigan Chronicle, Fall 2006,Vol. 29 no. 3.  www.hsmichigan.org.
