The Founder
Samuel Nesbitt Maze - 1811 - 1885
Maze emigrated from Ireland in 1836 and opened a small lumberyard - Maze Lumber - in 1848 - along the banks of the Illinois River in Peru. When he got rust complaints from his customers and serious nail failures due to the inferior nails from his wholesalers, he decided to buy a small nail machine and make his own nails out of pure zinc.
Now - more than a century later - Maze Nails manufactures nails for worldwide distribution. The Maze Lumber yard is still in business - managed by Peter M. Loveland - and is the oldest lumber dealer in the state of Illinois.
