TEXTManufacturer of plumber supplies, etc., has the distinction of being one of the oldest, if not the oldest manufacturer
of engineers' and plumbers' supplies, gas and steam fittings, steamship and brewers' brass work, patent soil pumps, testing pumps, patent air pumps, as well as a dealer in all sanitary specialties. Mr. Perkes established his business in this city in the year 1856 on Sansom street, J. E. Caldwell finally seeking more commodious quarters at 627 Arch street, his present place of business. His premises are 32 by 166 feet, four stories iu height, devoted to manufacturing, store and salesrooms. He employs forty-five hands, under his own personal supervision, turning out the highest class of work, for which his reputation is not surpassed in city or country. For nearlv fifty years Mr. Perkes has given his undivided attention and energy to the development of his business, experimenting with and adopting every improvement that seems likely to be of benefit to conducting the various branches of his trade. Beginning in a small way his business has extended on the merits of his work. He has added from time to time improved machinery and appliances, and holds himself in the front rank with his contemporaries in the trade in prices and quality. His long experience and thorough knowledge of all details enables him to give the closest estimates on contracts. He confines his business to wholesale dealers, gas and water companies, etc., and is highly regarded in the business community as an honorable, high-minded gentleman.
