| TEXT | Among the most prominent manufacturing Concerns in Pittsburgh or its surroundings the firm of Nellis, Shriver & Co. occupy a position that entitles it to consideration in this work. The plant of this house is located or bounded by Rebecca and Sturgeon Streets and South and Allegheny Avenues, Allegheny City, and was established in 1871 by A. J.
Nellis, the senior partner of the present firm. The grounds upon wliich the works are situated, are 300x300 feet, and
the buildings cover an area of nearly an acre, being divided into six operative departments, employing 100 hands, most of whom are skilled mechanics. A sixty-horse power engine is used to move the machinery, much of which is of the finest character, adapted and designed for special purposes, and a battery of three boilers, aggregating 75-horse power, furnishes the necessary steam. The products of this extensive establishment consist mainly in Nellis' Original Harpoon Horse Hay Fork, Steel or Wrought and Malleable Iron Fencings and Castings, Nellis' Grapple and Pulleys and Steels for Plows, and other agricultural implements; also Nellis' Patent Cast Tool Steel Castings, which seem to be almost indestructible, and may be so tempered as to be exactly adapted to any variety or conformation of soil. The demand for these appliances, owing to superior merit, recognized by high awards and medals at the Centennial Exposition, has led to a rapidly Increasing trade, and its extension over the entire United States and Canadian provinces. Of the individual members of the firm, the senior partner is a native of New York State, and has been a resident of Pittsburgh since 1870. The enterprise with which he is identified was founded under the style of A. J. Nellis & Co., Mr. John Crawford being his partner, after whose demise Messrs. S. P. Shriver and J. H. Stokes became partners, forming the basis of the existing firm. Both these gentlemen are natives of Pennsylvania, the former settling in Pittsburgh as early as 1835, and the latter in 1860. Both from the extent of its operations, the character of its products, and the impetus given to the industries of the community, this house has achieved a conspicuous place among others in a contemporaneous line of business. The vast improvements made by Mr. Nellis in Cast, Cast Steel for Plow Shares, Harpoon Hay Forks and other appliances, and the monopoly in them, possessed by the firm, is alone sufficient to entitle it to more than ordinary attention. Besides these, however, numerous other articles are manufactured, all of which are of the finest make, and material such as to insure the greatest degree of durability and power. With these undoubted advantages and facilities Messrs. Nellis, Schriver [sic] & Co. offer inducements to the trade that can not be surpassed, and which buyers will find largely to their interest to favorably consider. |
