| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The National Planing Mill, Sash, Door and Box Factory of Mr. Joseph A. Steen is said to be the most complete
establishment of its kind in this section of the country. The business was established in 1870 by Mullen, Steen & Co. A single building, 40x100 feet, was at that time sufficient for all the requirements of the business. In May, 1873, this building was destroyed by fire, but was at once rebuilt on an enlarged scale, and the works now occupy a substantial three-story brick building, 75x100. supplied with all the modern conveniences and appliances. One 75-horse power engine, with 40-inch boilers and 22-feet flue, is taxed to its utmost capacity to furnish motive power for the machinery constantly in use. Steam elevators, capable of hoisting 2.000 feet of lumber, are employed, and hot air is forced into the dryer by one of Sturtevant's improved blowers, and, in cold weather, heats the entire building. In addition to the manufacture of Sash, Doors, Frames, Mouldings, Stair Rails, Balusters, Newel Posts, etc., Mr. Steen does every description of Turning and Scroll-Sawing to order, and keeps a large stock of rough and dressed Lumber, Shingles, etc, constantly on hand. His business now averages about 40.000 per annum, and is steadily increasing. He carries at all times a stock of best and most desirable seasoned lumber in various shapes and sizes, and furnishes constant employment to 20 hands, with a monthly pay-roll amounting to 800, or more. Mr. David Brown is bookkeeper, and attends to the office business. Mr. Steen is a native of this State, and has resided in Allegheny nearly all his life. |
