Oakland Underfoot

12th and Fallon Streets

Shand and Jurs was founded in 1922 by Reginald Cuthbert Shand (1886-1934) and Albert Ernest Jurs (1886-1964), manufacturing industrial tank equipment as the Threaded Products Company with a plant at 917 Carleton Street, in a building now gone. They became Shand and Jurs in 1928. Today their brand is part of L & J Technologies, a much younger firm headquarted in Hillside, Illinois. Amongst their many products was a line of bulb-headed fire hydrants that have an honored place in hydrant history.

These lids are next to each other at the county courthouse.
