THEMABeschreibung
TEXTBalbach & Son, whose extensive smelting and refining works form the subject of this review, are natives of Germany, who emigrated to America thirty years ago and now take the leading rank in their line of the industries of the State of New Jersey - if not of all the country - from the immense extent of their trade, which reaches the greater part of the largest cities of the Union. The extensive works are of brick structure, and cover a block facing on River Street and nearly a block on Van Buren Street, with other large premises fronting on the River and Canal. The factory has been established for over a period of thirty years, and is fitted with the best machinery, operated by several steam engines for smelting and refining of gold and silver and sweep smelting, etc. Employment is given to four hundred experienced operatives in all the various departments of the works. The firm is composed of Ed. Balbach and his son Edward, Jr., gentlemen of the first rank as merchants, manufacturers, and citizens, who have done so much to advance the trade of Newark, with which they have now so long been identified, that further comment or praise would be superfluous.
