Martin Lewis was the founder of Little Engines.

Dick Morris writes:

Martin Short Lewis, Jr. was born in 1885 in Iowa. In 1917 he lived in San Bernadino and was assitant manager of a Ford Agency. It appears that he moved to Lomita in the mid-1930s. Little Engines was apparently a going concern as early as 1940 as I have an early LE catalog that was prepared just before WWII.
Martin S. Lewis died May 30, 1949. His widow, Irene, carried on the business for about another 30 years.
