| TEXT | Among the many prominent industrial establishments represented in Philadelphia the Gloucester Iron Works hold an important place. The business was established in 1864 by Michellon & Sexton, and incorporated in 1871, with a paid up capital of $154.000. David S. Brown was the first President. The works on the Delaware River extend over twenty acres of ground, covered with founderies, machine shops, boiler and smith shops, tar pits, proving shops, etc. The company employs about 400 hands and melts on an average 100 tons of iron per day, used in the manufacture of east iron gas and water pipe, heating and steam pipe, etc. The plant is very complete in every respect and facilities for receiving and shipping by river and rail are not surpassed. The present officers of the company are: Mr. Sam'l R. Shipley, President; Mr. D. S. B. Chew, Treasurer; Mr. Jas. P. Michelon, Secretary; Mr. William Sexton, Superintendent; all gentlemen well known in the business circles of the city. |
