| TEXT | The Magnus Metal Company of Jersey City was established in 1899, taking over the works of the Brady Metal Company, which plant has since been increased to more than double its original size. The officers are H. H. Hewitt of New York, president; C. M. Hewitt of Chicago, vice-president; M. S. Paine of New York, secretary and treasurer; W.
S. Bostwick of Jersey City, general manager, and W. F. Cole, manager. The company is engaged in the manufacture of
lead-lined journal bearings for freight and passenger service and locomotive castings, and the present capacity of the plant is fifty tons per day. The product is being used by a majority of the railroads throughout the country. The company has other plants located in many of the important cities of the United States, notably at Chicago, Ill.; St. Louis, Mo.; Buffalo, N. Y.; Houston, Tex.; Milwaukee, Wis.; New Haven, Conn., Topeka, Kan., Detroit, Mich, and Atlanta, Ga. The Jersey City works are bounded by Ninth, Brunswick, Tenth and Division Streets, and there are at present employed in this plant two hundred and seventy-five artisans. The general offices are in the Trinity Building, 111 Broadway, New York City. The company is a member of the Board of Trade of Jersey City. In the eleven years that it has been established in business in Jersey City it has realized more fully every year the advantages of Jersey City as a factory centre, and has refused to entertain any offer made to it to locate elsewhere. As its business has increased, it has steadily enlarged its plant, until it is to-day one of Jersey City's leading industries, and should the occasion arise in future years which would necessitate its again doubling the capacity of its present plant, it is a foregone conclusion that this addition will also be made in Jersey City, so well pleased are the officers with its present location, its exceptional transportation facilities and its ability to conduct its business at the lowest possible expense and with the best results. The fact that Jersey City is also so great a
railroad terminal is also a decided advantage to the company, the railroads being their largest customers and practically at their door. The business is growing steadily, and its many plants throughout the United States are being tested to their utmost capacity. |
