| TEXT | One of the most important among the large manufacturing establishments of Newark is that of the firm of Riley & Lynch, manufacturers of bag trimmings and silverplated, gilt, nickel-plated, and Japan ware, military trimmings, swivels, snaps, Masonic ornaments. Knights of Pythias badges, and society metal goods generally, of which they make a specialty; also, book-rims, clasps, corners, and all kinds of book mountings; also, ladies' belt buckles, and millinery ornaments, etc., and also make to order tools and dies. The great diversity and variety of the articles manufactured by the firm require considerable space for the production, and they find it necessary to occupy four large buildings, covering a ground space of 150x350 feet, which are provided with delicate and intricate machinery and devices, a considerable portion being of their own design and particularly adapted for the manufacture of their general line of specialties, which are kept in motion by an engine of one hundred horse power, and upward of four hundred hands are constantly employed in the different departments. Throughout the works order and system prevail, which is at once an evidence of the ability and judicious management of the firm. Mr. John M. Riley and Mr. Philip P. Lynch laid the foundation of their present extensive business about twenty years ago, beginning in a modest way, with a small capital, but an abundance of skill, energy, vim, and perseverance, and now to-day rank as one of the largest manufacturing concerns of the city, an eminence they have reached by their business ability, combined with the high character of the various articles made by them, which find a ready market all over the United States and Europe. Mr. Riley is from England and Mr. Lynch from Ireland, and came to Newark many years ago. They are bright lights among the many prominent, self-made men of the country, and enjoy distinction as being gentlemen of enterprise and a large acquaintance in business circles, and have always taken an active interest in all affairs pertaining to the welfare of the community. They are liberal and public-spirited, and enjoy the esteem and regard of all who have dealings with them. |
