| TEXT | These works are among the most prominent and successful in their line in the city, and have won a national reputation by the excellence of their product, both in design and workmanship. The business was originally started in March, 1880, by Mahlon Fulton, but it afterwards became the firm of Mahlon Fulton & Co., by the admittance of Geo. W. Greene,
Charles Gillingham and Mahlon Fulton, Jr. The works are located at 1615 North Ninth street, as are also the offices, and to the trade they are familiarly known as "The Perseverance Wood-Working Mill." They were completely destroyed by fire on January 26, 1884. A larger and one of the most complete establishments of its kind in the country was erected and in operation on April 26, 1884, just three months from the day the fire fiend visited and destroyed the old plant. The new mill has a costly and complete equipment of the most modern machinery for turning out all kinds of wood-work used in the construction of buildings, including mantels, wardrobes, artistic decorations, and bank and office fixtures and furnitures. The equipment of the building also includes automatic sprinklers and other devices for extinguishing fires. Among the many prominent buildings furnished with the products of the company are the Gladstone Apartment House, House of Refuge buildings at Glen Mills, Delaware county; Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Chestnut Hill, Bullitt Building, Art Club, Provident Life and Trust Company, Independence National Bank, Market Street National Bank, Penn National Bank, Ninth National Bank, Insurance Company of North America, Swarthmore College, Park Theatre, Marks Bros'. Stores, Union
League Annex, and buildings Nos. 8 and 10 Girard College. The artistic work of the company can also be found in these, among many others, private dwellings: Geo. W. Elkins and Geo. D. Widener, Broad above Girard avenue; John C. Bullitt, Twenty-second above Walnut; Isaac Clothier, Wynnwood; James Mott, Radnor; Robert Glendenning, Twentieth and Spruce streets; Mrs. Bories, Twelfth and Sausom streets; M. Ehret, Jr., Sixteenth and Allegheny avenue; John Osgard, Newport, R. I.; Chas. Dawson, Charlestown, W. Va., and Brooklyn Riding and Driving Club, Brooklyn, N.Y.
