| TEXT | An establishment so extensive and promoting to such a considerable degree the industrial welfare of the community, as that of the South Pittsburgh Planing Mill Co., is properly a subject for more than passing mention in this work. The Company was organized in 1871 by Joseph Orr, and incoporated under the laws of Penn'a with a capital of 50,000. The plant is located at the coruor of Third and Chestnut streets, the premises consisting of more than one acre, most of which is covered by the buildings, the business being divided into three departments, viz : Box factory, sash and door factory and lumber yard. The capital stock of the Company is now increased to 66.000 and the trade last year was 60.000 or over. Thirty to forty men are employed by the Company, whose earnings average weekly 275. The machinery is the best for the purposes and is operated by one eighty-horse power engine. In the manufacture of flooring, weather-boarding, frames, doors, sash, shutters, mantles, stairs, mouldings and glass boxes this Company excel, and also deal in framing lumber, shingles and laths, and execute to order scroll sawing and turning, besides dealing generally in lumber of all descriptions. The immediate management of the business rests with A. L. Sheatler, President and Treasurer; James 8haw, Secretary; a board of six directors exercising a general supervision at stated times. That the career of the company has been eminently successful, is owing in no small degree to the ability with which its operative and financial affairs are conducted, and the reliable and enterprising policy that characterizes its business. The Company is one of the favorite institutions upon the south side. |
