| TEXT | The office of the Universal Metallic Packing Company is located at No. 781 Broad Street, and first opened for business in June, 1882. Already the most flattering evidences of the superiority of their packing have been received, and the demand for it grows greater each day. The works are located in the city, Railroad Place, near the Market-street depot, and although the business is yet in its infancy, it promises to become a leading one at no distant day. Dealers are promptly supplied, and all orders are promptly attended to from the office. The president of the Company is Francis Mackin, Esq.; secretary, J. W. Collins, and treasurer, Charles Campbell. The Board of Directors are William M. Force, Lewis J. Lyons, Francis Mackin, James Reeve Sayre, James Mackin, Charles Campbell, Andrew D. Campbell, Oliver Drake and Charles H. Pell, all of whom are representative citizens and sterling business men of this city, which is a sufficient guarantee of the soundness and reliability of the Universal Metallic Packing Company. The following testimonials speak for themselves: "THE NEW YORK CENTRAL AND HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD COMPANY - MACHINE SHOP: New York, August 3d, 1882. - To the Universal Metallic Packing Co., Gentlemen: My engine (No. I, New York Central Railroad, running out of Fortysecond Street depot every day) was packed withthe Armstrong Metallic Wire Packing on the 4th of April last, and the packing that was then put in is still in and working in a very satisf.ictory manner, and now, after four months' use, it gives promise of very much longer wear. It does not cut the rod nor injure it in any way, and requires no attention. It has already lasted many times as long as any other packing I have used on my locomotive." and: "CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY TRANSPORTATION DEPOT: Broad Street Station, Newark, July 5th, 1882. - Francis Mackin, Esq., Dear Sir : The metallic wire packing placed on my engine, No. 32, April 2 1 St, is still in and performing its work in a most satisfactory manner. My engine being used as a drill engine, subjects the packing to the most severe test of any railroad work, and judging from the work already performed in the two and a half months of constant use, I have no hesitation in saying that for facility of application, durability and economy, ii excels any packing in the market with which I am acquainted. Truly yours, Wm. Bennett, Engineer of Engine 32" and: "BACKUS WATER MOTOR CO.: Newark, N. J., June 15th, 1882. - Gentlemen, I have been using your lead wire (or metallic) packing on an uneven piston-rod, which the former enL;ineer said he never could make tight, although he had used all kinds of packing for twelve years that had been brought to his notice with the same results. I have in the simple you sent me six months ago, and find it as good as when put in, and it gives me good satisfaction, and I do not hesitate to recommend it as a first-class packing. Very respectfully, George A. Hollister, Engineer for ADDison Brown." and: "LONGSTREET'S HARLEM TRANSPORTATION LINE: Mott Haven, N. Y., July 31st, 1882.- Mr. A. D. Campbell, Dear Sir, Yours of the 28th inst. received; the packing in my engine on steamboat Hessie is doing finely, and I wish when you call on me at Harlem, you would bring with you about six feet of 7/8- or 1-inch packing, as I wish to pack the piston-rod of the steamer Osseo. Respectfully yours, S. B. Greacen, Owner." |
