| TEXT | The business of electro-plating has so developed itself of late years that its utility has become apparent in almost every house where plumbers' faucets, basin plugs, closet caps, etc., are used, and the same remark will apply to almost every article of saddlery hardware, so universally used, and to all descriptions of electro-plated goods. Twenty-two years ago Mr. Cooke founded his present enterprise and now takes a prominent rank in his line of the business in Newark. The factory, 25x75 feet in extent, is located on the third floor of the large brick building at the above address and is fitted with all the necessary machinery, batteries, utensils, and implements for the wants of the business, the machinery being operated by steam power. Five experienced hands are regularly employed in the various branches of the works. All work is done on order and the estimate of the business amounts to $12,000 per annum. A good local trade is done throughout this city and New York. Mr. Cooke is a native of England and has been for fifty-seven years a resident of the United States, thirty years of which he has spent in the progress of his trade. He was formerly located at No. 65 Hamilton Street, but was compelled to move to his present premises to obtain the necessary room and facilities to meet the demands of his growing trade, and during the long period spent at the electro-plating industry, he has availed himself of every discovery as yet made, and is now one of the most practical and experienced platers in the business, esteemed and respected as a manufacturer and citizen. In 1832 he worked at this business in Waterbury, Ct., being to-day the oldest electrotyper known. |
