| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The articles manufactured at these extensive works are principally Steam Pumping Machinery and Pumps of every
description, and the celebrated Eclipse Steam Boiler. This House has long been noted for their excellent quality of
work, for their complete and unrivalled machinery and facilities for manufacturing, and under the new managers they
will in no wise deteriorate or fall short of the reputation of previous years. These works were established in 1853 by
Mr. Davison Phillips, who conducted the business for five years, when Mr. Wm. H. Cluley was admitted as a partner
under the firm name of Phillips & Cluley. In 1873 this firm was succeeded by S. D. Hubbard & Co., who carried on
the business for five years, wlien, in 1878, the present proprietors assumed the sole control. The business now amounts in round numbers to not less than 100.000 per annum. The "Eclipse" Works occupy the large four-story structure,
36x100 feet, at the corner of First Avenue ad Ferry Street, employing twenty hands, with a monthly pay-roll averaging
1,500. The motive power for their extensive machinery is supplied by one powerful sixty-horse power engine. They manufacture the celebrated Eclipse Balance-Wheel Steam Pump, which has been pronounced by mechanical experts the best and most reliable steam pump now in use, having excellent qualities which will commend it to all who will investigate. They are made for both hot and cold water. At tlie Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, in 1876, these pumps were awarded the highest Medal of Honor and a Diploma of Merit. Every pump furnished by this establishment is fully guaranteed. In addition to the various pumps for feeding boilers, Messrs. McKnight & Co. make a specialty of Pumps for the following purposes: Water Works, Mining, Oil Refinery, Oil Tanks, Soap, Lye, Lard, Vinegar, Tar, Tallow, Benzine, Bleacheries, Gas Works, etc., etc., and, in fact, every description or style of Pump which by any possibility may be required. They also pay special attention to repairing of all kinds in connection. The trade of these works extends all over the United States. |
