Notes From Elsewhere
The firm of M. Thams & Co., was located at Strandheim Burk in Orkanger, near Trondheim, Norway. It was established in 1867 by Wilhelm A. Thams ... 1872 destroyed by fire ... After rebuilding, Thams turned the mill and its operations over to his son Maurentius Thams, who became principal shareholder. Maurentius started production of crates on a large scale, used not only for the transport of salmon, but also for shipping tomatoes from the Canary Islands to Europe. ....
[son Christian an architect] ...
M. Thams & Co. was the ideal choice for representation of Norway and its portable buildings business at the Fair. The bustling company employed carpenters and craftsmen with first-class handwork and wood-working skills. Just four years earlier, the company's talented crew had shown off their abilities at the World's Fair of Paris in 1889. Other big exposition buildings were to follow-in Stockholm (1897), Trondheim (1908) and Oslo (1914)
