| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | In this special line of industrial manufacturing enterprise there is perhaps no house in the United States better known, or one more entitled to extended notice in a work devoted exclusively to a display of the resources in detail of the Iron City. The firm is composed at present of the following members, each of whom takes an active personal interest and supervision in some department of the work. Wm. Hamilton, Brice Lemmon, Jas. T. Arnold, J. W. Carnahan, John H. Mower and Adam Ammon, all practical men, either in the operative or business subdivisions of the concern. The plant is located on Mulberry street, in the lower part of Allegheny City, on the banks of the Ohio river and contiguous to the freight offices of the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Railroad Co. It consists of four extensive buildings, one, two, four and five stories high, the two first mentioned having dimensions of 40x120 feet each, and the last respectively 120x86 feet and 40x160 feet, covering in all an area of nearly three acres. Here are employed 132 skilled mechanics, 2 engines and 3 boilers of 80-horse power each, and 2 pumping engines. All the machinery being of the most perfect character, much of it designed and applied originally for the special uses to which it is adapted. The manufactures of the firm consist of Burial Cases, Caskets and Coffins of Fine Rosewood, Walnut, Imitation Rosewood, Gloss White, Ebonized and numerous other styles and materials, for the elegance of which a reputation has been established all over the country, promoting a trade that comprehends in extent the entire United States. The firm are large manufacturers of Handles, Plates, Screws, Linings, Robes, etc., resulting in an annual trade equal in amount to the capital stock - $250.000 and steadily increasing. With so useful a place among the general industries, and a trade so large and productive of such a satisfactory revenue, the house of Hamilton, Lemmon, Arnold & Co. exert no small influence upon the general prosperity, and are justly classed in their specialty among the first houses in the United States. |
