NURRE COMPANY (THE). In 1937 the Nurre Company, which came to Dubuque that year, purchased the OTT RUBBER COMPANY property on Railroad Avenue. The company manufactured plate and structure glass, mirrors including the "Nuralite" line for bathrooms, kitchens, and store fronts. The Dubuque unit was the fourth with others located in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee. The main plant was in Bloomington, Indiana. It was expected that the company would hire one hundred employees. (1)

The 1939 through 1957 Dubuque City Directory listed 245 Railroad.
