| TEXT | In the manufacture, design and invention of Steam Pumps, it is safe to assert that no firm in the West has achieved
a higher reputation than that of Messrs. Thompson, Epping & Carpenter, who, from the extent and charcter of the business translated, are entitled to special mention in this work. The firm which was organized in 1877 succeeded to the trade and effects of the Cooper & Keystone Works, which were established in 1863. The premises occupied consist of one large two-story main building, 100x120, and a foundry less extensive, covering an area in all of over half an acre, divided into machine shops, pattern rooms, foundry, etc., etc., employing 25 skilled workmen, and forming the base of operations for a business that ranges over the entire United States. The members of the firm are all natives of Pittsburgh, and are as follows: J. D. Thompson, Henry Epping, and W. H. Carpenter, the latter having charge of the general business; the general management being in the hands of Mr. Epping. The products of the house are mainly in the line of Steam Pumps, many of which are manufactured under letter's patent owned by and awarded to the firm. In Cooper Pumps may lie mentioned the Plunger Boiler Feed Pump, the Piston Pnmp, the Piston Mine Pump, the Plunger Mine Pump, and the Vertical Pump, besides the Keystone Steam Pump and the Epping direct Acting Pump - all being adapted and specially fitted for certain uses, which they perfectly subserve, as shown by testimonials from the highest authorities, including engineers, mechanicians and manufacturers that would occupy many pages of this work. In addition to the manufacture of Steam Pumps. Brass Castings for Rolling Mills, Engine and Railroad Work, are made to order, the facilities of the establishment insuring the best class of work at the least possible expense. In every respect the house ot Messrs. Thompson, Epping & Carpenter is a most desirable one with which to establish permanent business relations. Prompt, thorough and honorable, no firm can offer more pronounced advantages, or guarantee, in the accomplishment of every work undertaken, more satisfactory results. |
