| TEXT | Every description of fine Brass-work is manufactured by this well known house, which was established in 1856, by A. & J. M'Kenna, who were succeeded in 1875 by the present proprietors. The capital invested in the business is $18.000 and
their annual sales reach about 35.000. They occupy three floors, each 30x85, at 122 Third Ave., and their business is
confined exclusively to brass work, of which they manufacture and carry in stock a large assortment, consisting in part of Ale and Beer Cocks, Foot Rails, Counter Rails, Back Rails, Window Guards, Door Pulls, etc. They are also exclusive
manufacturers of M'Kenua's Patent Combination Pump and Ventilating Faucet for drawing and preserving Ale and Beer. These articles are made with great care and specially adapted for the Saloon and Liquor trade. This Faucet was patented by Mr. M'Kenna, and is no longer an experiment, as over seven thousand are now in use all over the United States, and in every instance they give perfect satisfaction. This firm also make a specialty of fitting up Show Windows with movable and stationary Rails, Brackets, &c., such as are used by Tailors, Furnishing stores. Millineries, Hatters and Variety stores. They employ fifteen skilled workmen in their manufacturing department, with a weekly pay roll amounting to about 200. One eight horse-power Engine furnishes the motive power for their machinery, which is of the best and most approved pattern. The trade of this house is in more than thirty states, and the superior quality of their goods have given them a national reputation. They sell more goods at present in St. Louis than in any other city. Mr. A. M'Kenna was born in Ireland in 1832, but he has resided iu Pittsburgh since he was two years of age. Mr. T. M'Kenna is a native and lifelong resident of Pittsburgh, where he was born in 1836. |
