| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The business was originally established by J. P.. Givin & Sons, in 1877, and continued under their management until
March 1, 1887, when the Penn Lumber Company was organized and the business of the Messrs. Givin was merged into
the company. The company was chartered under the laws of Pennsylvania, with a capital of $200.000. They own and
operate eleven saw-mills and two shingle-mills, besides 8.000 acres of timber land. The output of the mills is estimated at 80.000.000 feet of white pine, hemlock and hard wood lumber, and their trade is largely confined to the Middle and Eastern States, but very large shipments .of hard wood are made to points in the interior, as far west
as Chicago. The present officers of the company are: Andrew Kane, President; J. K. P. Hall, Secretary and Treasurer; John B. Givin, Manager. They are all men of recognized ability among the trade, their experience covering a long period of years, and the success the company has attained is due largely to their untiring efforts in promoting its interests. To the excellence of the work turned out is also due a part of their prosperity, as the trade in general place their orders with implicit confidence, knowing full well they will receive their goods promptly and entirely as represented. The principal office of the- company is located in rooms 712, 713, 715 and 716 Girard Building, at Broad and Chestnut streets, but they have in addition a branch office at Pittsburgh, and while the latter is necessary to carry on the extensive business, yet all the actual business is transacted through the Philadelphia office. The several mills of the company are among the largest in the State, and arc equipped with the very best and latest machinery the markets offer. They arc all under careful, capable heads, and manned by large forces of skilled mechanics. |
