| TEXT | One of the oldest and largest houses in the city of Philadelphia and United States, extensively engaged in the manufacture of electrical supplies for the telegraph, telephone, electric light, etc., is that of Messrs. Partrick,
Carter & Co., whose offices and factory are located at 125 S. Second street. The progress made in the last twenty years in the various branches of electrical science is something marvellous. In every department there has been uniform and constant progress and more than six hundred millions of capital is invested today in this branch of the business in the United States. In twelve years good positions have been provided for more than 250.000 persons, not to mention the large number of laboring people who have found employment in the various departments of electrical work. The business was originally established in 1867, by the late James Partrick. The present partners who trade under the above firm name are, Franklin S. Carter, Charles M. Wilkins and E. Ward Wilkins, all of whom have been connected with the house
from its early days. For a number of years the firm was located at 114 S. Second street, but on account of the constant growth of their business they became cramped for room, and it became necessary for them to secure more extensive premises. Hence they decided to remove to 225 S. Second street and 131 Gothic street, the removal occurred on January 1, 1891. By this removal the house has secured better facilities of every kind. They now have over 20,000 square feet of floor space as against 6,000 feet at the old address. The main building is a handsome and substantial iron front structure, of five lofty floors and basement, each 120 feet deep, the Gothic street building forming an "L" which is 20 x 50 feet aud five stories high. The firm have put in a great deal of new machinery, and in other ways increased their manufacturing facilities aud they have also more room than heretofore for the display of stock. They are now better prepared than ever before, to meet all the demands for electrical apparatus and supplies that may be made upon them. The firm make aud sell about everything that can be called for under the above classification, and we have no hesitation in saying that there is no concern in the country that manufactures or handles more reliable goods than they do. They sell to the trade exclusively and ship to all parts of the United States and also to various foreign countries. |
