| TEXT | The business of this company was established in the City of Philadelphia in 1871. The very general use of vulcanite and patent granolithic pavement in place of brick and stone has not only been a matter of great economy, but a feature of comfort and beauty wherever used, rendering any special description of the article unnecessary. It is cheaper than stone, quite as durable, and laid to fit any form or space. For sidewalks and roadways many miles are in use in Philadelphia, and it is to be hoped that the uneven, unsightly brick walks will continue to give way to this material. As a flooring for cellars, hotel and office buildings it has no equal. Besides the miles of streets and sidewalks laid by this company, the company refer to the following buildings in which their granolithic flooring and sidewalks are laid: The Public Buildings, the Drexel Building, Post Office, Giraid Life Insurance Building, Broad Street Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Baltimore and Ohio Depot, County Prison, Baldwin Locomotive Works, and many others. The extent of the business is very largely increasing, and amounts now to about %800.000 yearly, giving employment to about five hundred men. It can be laid in any design or color. The paving of wet and damp cellars and side yards is a specialty. The company are the sole agents for the P. & B. patent ideal roofing, P. & B. paints and sheathing paper,
and other kinds of roofing, and sole manufacturers of iron slag blocks. The company was incorporated in 1871. Dr.
L- S. Filbert is President, and D. S. Fisher, Treasurer. Offices, 1902 Green street. |
