| TEXT | Among the industries which materially assist to give Lancaster a reputation as a manufacturing centre is the Lancaster Comb Works, which have been established for more than sixty years, and came under the sole control of Mr. Dana Graham about sixteen years ago, he having previously been connected with the works as a copartner since 1851, at which time he came to this city from Massachusetts, his native place. The buildings, two in number, are constructed of brick and are
well fitted up and complete in all their appointments, and provided with special machinery for the manufacture of all kinds of dressing, redding, fine, and solid Siamese pocket and tuck combs. The material used is the finest horn
brought from South America, and the best selected from this and other States. The goods made at this establishment meet with a ready male and are always in demand in all the great commercial cities, where their standard quality is recognized and appreciated. About three years ago Mr. Graham associated with him in business his son, Mr. John S. Graham, a young, active business man who was born in this city and who is a valuable aid in the business and enjoys the
confidence and regard of all who have dealings with the house. The Lancaster Comb Factory is one of the largest and most important establishments in the county,and the only one manufacturing horn combs in the State outside of Philadelphia. The trade extends throughout the country, and the goods command the attention of dealers and are always inquired for on the market. Of Mr. Dana Graham it should be said that during his long residence in this city he has always been popular and prominent and held in high esteem in business and financial circles. He has taken considerable interest in municipal affairs and served his fellow-citizens with distinction as a member of city councils and an alderman for several years. All orders should be addressed to W. H. Brown, 78 Reade Street, New York City, N. Y. |
