| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Had a directory of the manufacturing concerns in the City of Philadelphia been published in the year 1828, the firm of Baeder, Adamson & Co. would have appeared as makers of glue only. More than sixty years after the firm appears as makers not ouly of glue, but also of curled hair, sand paper, and kindred articles. At the time the firm was founded the city population was less than 70.000. Now it is over 1.000.000. During this time the business of this house has increased and enlarged in even greater proportion. What was then a little factory on the old Cohocksink Creek is now
an immense establishment covering forty acres on the River Delaware. Their entire annual product of glue then would not now begin to supplv their own consumption in the manufacture of sand paper. In addition to this they now have factories in Woburn, Mass., and Newark, N. J., either of which is larger than the original plant. Then they had no warehouse outside the works for the distribution of goods. Now they have stores in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and Boston. Then their wares were all sold within one hundred miles of Philadelphia. Now they not only go into all parts of this country, but also as far east in Europe as Russia, as far south in the southern half of the Western Hemisphere as Chili, and even far-off Australia receives a share. Such is the partial record of an old Philadelphia house, Baeder,
Adamson & Co., manufacturers of glue, curled hair and sand papers. |
