| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Manufacturers, plumbers', gas and steam litters' supplies. One of the youngest firms in Philadelphia in this line was incorporated in March, 1888, first located at 712 Filbert street, removing to their present location at 27 North Seventh street. May, 1888, where the new firm continued the business, only on a more extensive scale. They are manufacturers and dealers in wrought iron pipe, boiler tubes, brass and iron valves fittings, radiators, etc., besides which they carry a complete line of plumbers', gas and steam fitters' supplies. Their factory is situated at Nos. 1428, 1430 and 1432 Callowhill street, and consists of a three-story building which faces Callowhill street. They do a large retail as well as a wholesale business, employing among their large number of hands, many skilled mechanics, whose earnest and faithful co-operation with the firm has been one source from which considerable of the company's success was attained. The firm consists of Alfred E. Ford, John Kendig, C. J. Rainear and C. B. Souder, each of whom is thoroughly posted in the details of their business, and individually could have won a reputation and standing among the trade second to none, but by joining forces and interests their success and prosperity have been all the more pronounced. Thev combine great energy, business ability and enterprise to such a marked extent that the reputation of the house is not confined to the local trade, but is known and respected on the Pacific slope, Cuba and Mexico, where they have built for themselves an extensive trade, a trade which is constantly increasing and which promises ultimately to become so large that their present quarters will be entirely inadaquate in capacity. The progress of the firm is due largely to their honest dealings with the trade in general, giving preference to none, but treating all alike; the superiority of their workmanship, excellence of quality of materials used, and reasonable prices charged. They have the exclusive agency for this city of the American Tube and Iron Company of Middletown, Pa., and Youngstown, Ohio, whose
products are classed among the best manufactured in the United States. |
