| TEXT | As an interest of great importance to the industrial thrift of the community, the manufacture of White Lead has long held a prominent place. Of those largely engaged in this branch of manufacture, the house of Suydam, Lawrence
& Co., who are the present successors to the oldest White Lead works in this section of country, established as it was
in 1832, are entitled to particular mention, not alone from the extent of their operations in this direction, but also on account of their conjoining, with the corroding of lead, the manufacture of Linseed Oil. This department of the business had been carried on successfully for a series of years by Mr. M. B. Suydam, before the existence of the present firm (which was established in 1877), united both industries under one management, the advantages of which to those familiar with either branch of trade are obvious. The plant of the firm is situated on Rebecca Street, in Allegheny City, and consists of two large three-story brick buildings, one of which is devoted to the manufacture of Lead, the other to the production of Linseed Oil. The former, in its machinery and general appointments and aparatus, is perhaps one of the most complete establishments of the kind in the United States, and in all its departments, from the corroding beds to the packing room, in vats, mills and pumps, is about as perfect as ingenuity and capital can make it. In White and Red Lead Colors and Putty the product is a large one. The capacity for manufacturing White Lead alone is 1.000 tons annually, while 200.000 gallons of Linseed Oil are expressed yearly in the building devoted to this purpose. Three powerful steam engines are required to operate the machinery of the works, and 30 men are constantly employed in the various departments. The goods prepared by this firm are marked and highly esteemed for their purity and excellence of color; they find a ready market through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and New York - the demand increasing at a very satisfactory ratio. As a firm, Messrs. Suydam, Lawrence & Co. stand among the most prominent of their cotemporaries, and are heartily commended in every respect as being honorable and reliable people with whom to establish the most gratifying relations. |
