| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | St. Louis has become the home of many flourishing industries, and one of special prominence is that of the Cook Well Company, occupying suitable premises, consisting of the ground floor and basement 50x60 feet in dimensions, at 703 and 705 Market street, and whose large factory, covering an extensive area, is located at Lawrenceburg, Ind., where steady employment is given to sixty to one hundred hands. The business was established twenty years ago by Mr. H. F. Cook and consists of the manufacture of and trade in tubular well supplies, mining pumps, etc., and now covers the whole of the United States and Mexico, large shipments being also made to various parts of Europe. The productions of the company present features of the highest merit, and are eminently adapted for the necessities of cities, towns, railway stations, breweries manufactories, etc., the firm being prepared to contract for the provision of a supply of water ranging from 1,000,000 to 100,000,000 gallons per day. They are the manufacturers of the famous "Cook's Patent Double Piston Plunger Deep Well Pump," for mines and artesian wells; "Cook's Patent Double Piston and Double Acting Walking Beam Power Pump," the "Improved Brass Limed Cornish Pump," "Cook's Patent Brass Tube Well Strainer," in addition to pumping engines and boilers, working barrels, augurs, rods and the numerous implements required. All commissions for rock drilling and prospecting are promptly and carefully executed, and many of the largest public and private corporations in the country have their artesian tubular system and deep well systems in constant use with the most beneficial results. Mr. H. F. Cook, the founder of the house, is recognized as a high authority on all matters relating to his industry, and his scientific investigations and practical experiments have greatly advanced our knowledge of the principles which underlie this important subject. The house is a thoroughly representative one in every respect, and caters to the wants of a large and constantly increasing trade in the most efficient manner. |
