| TEXT | A representative and the most extensive cooperage house in Pennsylvania actively engaged in this steadily increasing industry, is that of W. G. Pennypacker, manufacturer of slack barrels, whose Quaker City Cooperage is eligibly located at Twenty-third street and Washington avenue. Mr. Pennypacker established the business about thirty -seven years ago. He supplies sugar refineries, millers, lime merchants, etc. throughout all sections of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with all descriptions of barrels, except those for liquids. The factory at Twenty-third street and Washington avenue is a spacious two-story brick building, 130x320 feet in dimensions, with railroad siding alongside. The various departments are fully-equipped with the latest improved appliances and machinery, and give employment to about 350 operatives, all of whom are skilled workmen. In December, 18S9, after finding his old quarters too small for his constantly increasing trade, Mr. Pennypacker started a second factory at the foot of Reed street, in connection with Spreckels' sugar refinery. It is three stories high and 135 x 245 feet in dimensions, its total capacity being 16,000 barrels of all sizes per day. The average capacity is 10,000 barrels daily. Mr. Pennypacker is a native and resident of Wilmington, Del. He is an honorable and progressive business man, universally popular and respected, and a worthy repre
sentative of this great staple industry. He has been prompt to meet the requirements of his many patrons, whose orders are promptly and carefully filled, and to their entire satisfaction. |
