| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Few persons, not familiar with the business, have any conception of the variety of articles manufactured from that, to many, repulsive looking and smelling material known as Tar. The Pittsburgh Tar Chemical Works is the only manufactory in this city of this description of goods. The Works were established by D. Hostetter, Otto Wuth, and A. Herz, with an original capital of $10.000, which they increased to 25.000. The present proprietors are H. A. Clifford and Emil Schalk, doing business under the firm name and style of H. A. Clifford & Co., and they increased the capital to 40,000. The premises occupied by this firm are 145x300 feet in size, containing five buildings and four sheds. The dimensions of the buildings are respectively as follows: 40x80 feet, 30x60 feet, 20x30 feet, 20x30 feet and 18x50 feet. Their laboratory and works are fitted with all the requisite appliances and machinery for tlie distillation and manufacture of their various products. The works require one 5-horse power engine and one 8-horse power boiler, and furnish employment to eight hands with a monthly pay roll aggregating about 425. They carry a stock of about 25,000, and their annual business will reach, if not exceed that amount. Their trade is principally local although they ship goods occasionally to different portions of tlie United States. The works will compare favorably with similar establishments in St. Louis and Chicago manufacturing the same class of goods. Among the various articles for which they have established a high reputation, we may mention, Pvoofing Cement, Paving Cement and Composition, Dead Oil, Napthaline, Crude Benzole, Pure White Rectified Benzole, Iron Varnish, Cotton Tie Varnish, Crude and Refined Carbolic Acid, Carbolate Powder, "Universal Disinfectant" and Oil Myrbane, an article used extensively for perfuming Soaps in place of Almond Oil. Mr. H. A. Clifford is a native of New Hampshire and came to this city in 1874; and his son, Mr. Charles W. Clifford, is book-keeper and superintendent of the clerical and corresponding department. |
