| TEXT | Nashua has also a very important manufactory of locks and house trimmings, known as the Nashua Lock Company. This company is the successor of Col. L. W. Noyes, who commenced business in 1837, and was one of the first in the country to engage extensively in the manufacture of locks. When this company was organized American locks were scarcely recognised as articles of hardware, but by improvements in machinery, and facilities for manufacturing, the price has been gradually reduced, until imported locks are almost excluded from the American market. Every description of mortise and rim locks, mortise and rim latches, and every variety of knobs and house trimmings, are now made by this Company, and sold at their warehouse in Boston. The works comprise an iron and brass foundry, where castings are made for sale, as well as for consumption in their other manufactures. This Company make locks that range in price from 50 cents to $60 per dozen. In 1859 Mr. Franklin 0. Munroe purchased the interests of his associates in the Nashua Lock Company, and he is now, we believe, sole proprietor. |
