| TEXT | Among the various extensive manufacturing establishments, which have given the city of Pittsburgh a world-wide reputation as a great industrial centre, we doubt if any single one has contributed more to that end, than the mammoth distilleries of Joseph S. Finch & Co., whose celebrated brand of Golden Wedding Rye Whiskey may now be found in almost every portion of the globe, and in every clime where a first class, strictly pure and unadulterated article is appreciated. This house was founded by the present proprietors in 1863, with moderate means and in a comparatively small way, but at its very inception it acquired, and has since maintained a very high reputation for the general excellence and uniform reliability of the goods manufactured, and its business has increased with rapid strides, until it today ranks among the foremost establishments of its kind in the United States. Messrs. Finch & Co. have now a stock in bonded warehouse valued at not less than 600.000, and their annual sales will exceed half a million dollars, with a constantly increasing demand from all sections of the country. Six spacious and commodious structures are acquired to carry on this extensive business, which are located on becond and Chestnut streets, South Side, and are of the following dimensious respectively, one 60x150, one 110x110, one 50x81, one 40x80, one 75x110 with one building used for offices 23x73. All the machinery used is of the latest and most approved construction. We may especially mention the powerful sixty-horse power engine, four double-flue boilers 28 feet long by 48 inches in diameter, and five of McKnight & Co's. perfected steam pumps. Twenty experienced workmen are constantly employed in the various departments at a monthly expense of 1.200. Mr. Finch is the inventor of a peculiar process of removing deleterious substances and peculiar flavor of new whiskey, retaining all its healthful and nutritious qualities, and the late product of the still treated iu this manner, has all smoothness and other properties ordinarily acquired only by age, and becomes at once palatable, exhilarating and beneficial to the consumer. This is an important desideratum, as the finer grades of whiskey can be afforded at lower prices than when they are subjected to the risks, expenses and outlay of capital required in the ordinary process of acquiring these properties. The individual members of the firm are Messrs. Joseph S. Finch and John W. Painter, both gentlemen well and favorably known in the mercantile community, and highly respected in the various relations of life. It is to the enterprise, ability and energy of such houses as this, that the Smoky City is indebted for the proud position she holds among the cities of the Union. |
