| TEXT | Bloomfield is wellknown as being the centre of an extensive manufacturing region and the location of many prominent enterprises. An industry which adds greatly to its importance and prosperity is the Bloomfield Rolling Mill, established in 1831 by the venerable James G. Moffet, under whose charge it still remains. Many improvements have been made since its first establishment, and the sphere of operations has been greatly enlarged. Several acres of ground are occupied by the concern, two large buildings having been erected thereon. The machinery throughout the works is of the most modern design and improved description, driven by an engine of sixty-five-horse power. A force of twenty-three skilled and experienced workmen are employed, the number being largely increased during the busy seasons. These are paid monthly, the pay-roll averaging over $1,000. The work done requires great skill. Sheet, rolled, and platers' brass, and fine rolled copper for metallic cartridges are manufactured in the rolling department, while separate departments are devoted to the manufacture of German silver, copper, brass, and Germansilver tubing, fine rolled silver for platers, etc. The establishment is widely known for the excellent quality of its manufactures, and compares favorably with similar establishments in the United States and Europe. A large and lucrative trade has been built up in these countries whose limits, under the efficient management of the far-seeing proprietor, are constantly extending. Mr. Moffet has a large amount invested, and draws a profitable return from the business. The mill is situated directly upon the line of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, near Bridgewood Station. It presents a scene of busy industry, and is one of the most important establishments in the town. The office is located at No. 119 Prince Street, New York city, the third block west of Broadway. Mr. Moffet has for years been identified with the growth and advancement of Bloomfield. From the reliable character of the productions and the high character of the house it is not a matter of surprise that it holds a prominent position among the leading industries of New Jersey, while fifty-two years' continued and advancing prosperity speaks in the highest terms of the executive ability of its managers. |
