| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | As no unimportant factor among the industries of Pittsburgh, in connection with the lumber trade, the above corporation is worthy of special mention in this work, both from the extent of its operations and high standing in other respects. Chartered in 1866, with a capital stock of 20.000, the affairs of the company have been so ably and faithfully managed that each year has brought about an increasing business, enlarged resources, and a great range of usefulness. The officers at present are: James McMasters, President, Wm. Wigman, D. Shutte and S. Hamilton, Directors, and A. H. Hunter, Secretary and Book-keeper. The premises occupied by the establishment are situated as above, and consist of one large building, 40x120 feet, with extensive wings, containing the most improved and perfect machinery for the manufacture and construction of Sashes, Window Frames, Doors and Door Frames, Mouldings, Weather Boarding and Flooring, Boxes of all descriptions, ete., etc., One large engine and steam boiler are required to drive the various mechanical appliances, and 35 to 40 employees are constantly engaged, occasioning a disbursement of from 450 to 600 per week. In the matter of the manufacture of boxes for glass and other wares, this concern does a larger business than any of its contemporaries, not confining its works only to this immediate locality, but extending it to a wide range through this and adjacent States, aggregating a trade of not less than 95.000 annually. The President of the company is likewise President of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank, and well known for his enterprising connection with the progress and development of the resources of this community. The concern takes its standing from those who are concerned in it, and is therefore regarded with the highest favor, as being perhaps the best appointed and most carefully managed Planing Mill in this section of the State. |
