Carl H. Wallerich, president of the C. H. Wallerich company, dealers in
automobiles, recognized by his contemporaries as one of the substantial
business men of the city of Indianapolis, was born in Sigourney, Iowa, May
5, 1883, the son of Mathias and Babette (Wills) Wallerich, the former of
whom went to Iowa at the age of fifteen years. Carl H. Wallerich received
his education in the graded and high schools at Des Moines, Iowa, after
completing which he came to Indianapolis in the year 1900. For several years
he was associated with the H. Lieber company. Later on he entered the Sales
Department of the Diamond Rubber company, at Chicago, returning to
Indianapolis later with the G. & J. Tire company. In 1907, he became
associated with J. N. Willys, of the Willys-Overland company, as sales
manager of Indianapolis Overland interests. He remained in this capacity
until 1910, when he was appointed general sales manager of the Haynes
Automobile company at Kokomo. In 1915, he accepted an appointment as
District manager of the Hupp Motor Car corporation, at Detroit. He ably
filled this capacity until 1918, when he offered his services to the
government as a civilian buyer of steel truck bodies at Washington. His
services were no longer required by December 25, 1918, and he returned to
Indianapolis as manager of the Dodge Brothers department of the E. W.
Steinhart company. In 1921 a company of which he became president was
organized and was appointed Indianapolis dealer by Dodge Brothers, Inc.,
Detroit. His efficient management and knowledge of sales direction gained in
his previous positions have stood in him in such good stead that he has
increased the business to the point where he can handle the production
allotment of his territory. Mr. Wallerich was married February 9, 1911, to
Inez Foley, of Indianapolis, and to this union has been born one child,
Alice Elizabeth. In fraternal circles, Mr. Wallerich is a popular and valued
member of the Masons, being a Shriner, the Kiwanis Club, the Columbia Club
and the Indianapolis Athletic Club. He is a strong believer in the
principles of the Republican party, firmly maintaining that its doctrines
best serve the public welfare.
