| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The manufacture of Chain of every description is carried on extensively by the firm of Reiter & Co., at the corner of 29th and R. R. Sts. The present firm was establislied in 1878, but Mr. Reiter, Sr., has been for many years prominently identified with the manufacturing interests of this city, having been one of the original founders of the La Belle Steel Works. They manufacture in their extensive works, which are well located, conveniently arranged and fitted with excellent machinery, driven by a fine engine, a very superior quality of chains. The greatest care is taken to produce none but first-class work, and no chains of an inferior quality are permitted to be sent out from this establishment, all being submitted to a thorough practical test before going to their customers. The iron used is the best quality and highest grades to be had. The purpose and design of the firm is to make an A. No. 1 chain, equal in all respects to the most celebrated English brands. Wherever their chains have gone or been used they have given the highest satisfaction. They employ none but skilled workmen, who, by the system of testing employed in the establishment, are stimulated to the greatest care in their work. They manufacture now at the rate of 600 tons of chain per annum, and are having a steadily increasing demand for their products in different parts of the country. Mr. Geo. Reiter, senior member of the firm, was born in Baltimore, Md., but has for many years resided in Pittsburgh, and has been largely interested in the manufacture of Iron and Steel, and closely identified with other important industries and the general interests of the city. He is well and favorable known, and is a highly respected and honored citizen. Mr. Geo. Reiter, Jr., was born in Pittsburgh, and has grown up in the Iron industries with which his father has been identified. He is the general manager and superintendent of the works. Mr. W. C. Reiter has charge of the office business and books of the firm. Both the sons are young possessed of energy and business experience, and the establishment is one in which the Iron City may feel a justificable pride. Father and sons, in establishing their enterprise, which in a measure is a new one in this city, bring into its management large experience in a business point of view, and great energy. They are men of the very highest character, and the firm is every way reliable and trustworthy, and fully merits the high esteem in which it is held, and the largest success in their enterprise. |
