| TEXT | The Mutual Chemical Company of America was established March, 1895, for the manufacture of various chemicals. Prussiate of potash was the first article manufactured, to which bichromate of soda and bichromate of potash were
added in 1897. The New York office of the company is at 92 William Street, and the officers are Frederick W.
White, president; Sumner W. White, treasurer, and Herbert M. Kaufmann, secretary and general manager. The plant, which is located at West Side Avenue and Fulton Avenue, Jersey City, was composed originally almost entirely of
frame buildings. It was destroyed by fire in 1901, and rebuilt on a larger scale in the same year, all the present buildings being of substantial brick construction. The company is one of the leading manufacturers of its three products in the United States, and is a member of the Board of Trade of Jersey City. Prussiate is defined to the layman as one of various cyanides, and bichromate contains two parts of chromic acid to one of the other ingredients. Cyanide is a basic forming salts of an orange yellow or red color, much used by bleachers and calico-printers. Chronium is a hard brittle metal of a grayish-white color, very difficult of fusion and related
to iron in many of its properties. It takes its name from the various and beautiful colors of its compounds. It is
used to give a fine deep yellow to the enamel of porcelain and glass. It is in the preparation and the manufacture of these chemicals that the Mutual Chemical Company of America has made a name for itself all over the civilized world, for its product finds its way to all the countries of the old world as well as the new, and with it travels the fame of Jersey City. Industries such as this are a valuable asset of the city in which they are located. |
