THEMABeschreibung
TEXTAmong those industries that it becomes the special province of this work to display, the firm of Messrs. Kirkpatrick. Beale & Co. occupy no inconspicuous position, and from the character and magnitude of their operations are entitled to more than brief mention. Connected in 1863 with the Siberian Iron Works, carried on by Messrs. Rogers & Burchfield, they succeeded the latter firm in 1877, and have since continued to prosecute the business with resolution and signal success, the sales averaging $215,000 annually. The plant of the firm is located at Leechburg, Pa., a short distance from this city, and consists of numerous buildings, all admirably adapted, and built especially for the purposes to which they are applied; covering an area of over six acres, and containing, together with other improved machinery, two trains of Rolls, five Puddling Furnaces, six Noolling Fires, several engines with an aggregate power of 200 horses, producing the finest brands of Sheet Iron and Terne Plate of all grades. The general office and ware rooms are located at No. 143 First Avenue. The dimensions of these premises are 25x90 feet, and three stories high. Their trade, which is all ordered work, consists mainly of Shovel Iron, Lock Iron, Tea Tray Iron, Trunk Iron, Stove Body Iron, Stamping Iron, all grades. Cold Rolled Iron, all grades, special sizes being made or cut to order, and Terne Plate. For these specialties the tirm have acquired a reputation that is unsurpassed, and justly arises from the excellent character of these products. Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Beale are both natives of Pennsylvania, and have always been identified with the industrial interests of the community, as promoted through the Iron trade. Mr. J. C. Wallace, the Company, is originally from Ireland, but has been closely connected with the manufacturing development of our resources for nearly thirty years. No firm occui)ies a higher or more enviable position than Messrs. Kirkpatrick, Beale & Co., and none can more easily maintain and perpetuate the esteem in which they are held by their cotemporaries and the public at large.
