| TEXT | The firm, manufacturers of plumbing and sanitary goods, was incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania, November 11th, 1888, with a capital of $250,000, but the business was originally established in 1858 by W. S. Cooper, who, after running it for awhile, admitted Thomas J. Jones as a partner, and the firm name became Cooper & Jones. Other gentlemen were admitted to membership later, and the firm name was changed successively to Cooper, Jones & Cadbury, Haines, Jones & Cadbury, and finally became the Haines, Jones & Cadbury Company, as it is now known, with the following Board of Directors: William H. Haines, president; William G. Warner, secretary; S. T. Hoopes, treasurer; John W. Cadbury, Joel Cadbury, Joseph W. Sharp, Jr. The business is now located at No. 1136 Ridge avenue, having removed from Seventh and Filbert streets in 1877. The building, which is four stories high, is about 150 feet square, and is conveniently equipped with appliances and machinery- of the latest patterns. Besides this have an immense plant at Allegheny, Pa., for the manufacture of porcelain-lined iron bath tubs, for which they have a great demand, owing to their superiority. The popular firm has every facility for supplying all kinds of plumbers' and steam fitters' supplies in the newest and most convenient designs. It is one of the largest in their line in Philadelphia, doing a purely wholesale business, and under its present efficient management they have established a trade that extends from Maine to Texas, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, including an enormous demand from the local consumers, and besides, many of their goods are exported to England. They handle only the finer grades of brass work and earthenware, and it was through their efforts that a better grade of goods is now becoming more generally used. Among the many specialties thev are particularly interested in are the "Electric" and "The Perfecter" wash-out water-closets, both of which are of their own patents, and which have a reputation second to none in the country. It would be useless to describe their working, as their merits can only be appreciated after having seen them in actual use. A visit to the works on Ridge avenue is advisable to those contemplating building, and there, from a large and varied stock, can be selected just what is needed, and that, too, without having to pay exorbitant prices. |
