| TEXT | Lancaster Steam Pump and Machine Works, Ezra F. Landis, Proprietor, No. 537 North Cherry Street. Among those proinently
identified with the manufacturindg interests of Lancaster Mr. Ezra F. Landis is one of the most widely known and highly respected. He is the inventor of the Landis Radiator, an extremely simple asnd very efficient steamvheating apparatuis
which has silown itself equal to every practical test it has been put to. Mr. Landis has given many of the best years of his life to the study of steam-heating apparatus, and deserves the credit of having invented one of the very best in existence. It is extremely simple in construction, is devoid of noise, leakage, or dust, radiates the heat evenly
and thoroughly, and for direct or indirect heating, high or low pressure, is equally serviceable, while the low price at which it can be put up is not the least recommendation in its favor. Mr Landis has furnished many dwellings in this city with his apparatus, and in not one instance has it failed to give the utmost satisfaction. The Lancaster steam-pump manufactured by Mr. Landis is equally noticeable in its way, having very few parts, so constructed as to allow of the direct application of power, the minimum of friction, and great reliability and regularity of operation. The Success farm-engine, boiler, and pump combined also deserves the reputation it enjoys, and the extent to which these engines are now used for every class of light farm work to which steam is applicable is very practical testimony to their actual value and real efficiency. The Landis Peerless traction road locomotive is one of the best and most practicable engines of the kind ever invented, and one of the very few that are capable of doing the work claimed for them. It will draw from ten to twelve tons with case over ordinary roads, can ascend or descend hills and still keel) the water above the crown-sheet of the boiler, while it can be used for threshing and similar purposes by simply throwing it out of gear. Mr. Landis also manufactures other kinds of portable, stationary, and traction steam-engines,
boilers, water tanks, tire benders, shafting, hangers, etc., does a general line of machine and repair work il the most thorough and workmanlike manner, and also deals in secondhand engines and machinery. He is a native of this city, and has been successfully engaged in this business for more than ten years. His extensive works are located at No. 537 North Cherry Street, and cover an area of 90 x 177 feet in dimensions. They comprise a complete and thorough equipment and give employment to a competent force of skilled and experienced workmen under the immediate supervision of the proprietor, whose vast practical knowledge and intimate understanding of every branch of the business give him peculiar advantages and facilities for its successful prosecution. He transacts a large and continually augmenting trade in this
city and county, and throughout other sections of the State and countty. This because the productions of his establishment are renowned for the superior quality of tie materials and workmanship that enter into them, their simplicity, and the scientific principles upon which they are constructed, their durability and capacity for the work they are intended to perform. The character of Mr. Landis' inventions entitles him to high rank in the scientific world, and the more because they are public benefactions and of great practical use. A native of this city, he holds a strong and honored position in commercial circes, all by his scientific and business ability, combined with an enterprising spirit and wise energy, has done much to advance the manufacturing interests and general industrial activity of Lancaster and this section of the State. High-minded and public-spirited, hie is prominent in every movement that looks to the welfare of our citizens, and richly deserves the cordial esteem in which he is held. |
