THEMABeschreibung
TEXTWith an experience of forty years spent in the machinist business, Mr. Davis founded his present enterprise sixteen years ago, and now takes a leading rank in his branch of Newark's trade, he having been sixteen years previously engaged in it with other parties. The machine-shop is a two-story brick building, 90x35 feet in extent, two floors being utilized in the business for machinery manufacture, a specialty being made of hoisting engines and in general machinery. The works are fitted with the best machinery for the trade and are operated by a steam engine of twenty-horse power, and give constant employment to twenty-five skilled machinists. The stock generally carried bears a representative value of S8,ooo and sales are estimated at the rate of $30,000 per annum, the trade done taking a wide range of the United States. Mr. Davis is a native of New Jersey and is one of the best practical mechanical machinists at the business, and from his long residence in Newark has won an enviable rank among his fellowcitizens as a good employer and is filling up the ranks of her progressive men. Mr. Davis is the patentee, owner, and manufacturer of the patent friction hoisting engine, which is taking the lead over all others in this country and Europe. He has furnished the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and the largest fimis throughout the United States and Europe. Peter Walsh, the well-known stevedore of New York, has ordered twelve of these popular engines. These facts attest to the superiority of Davis's patent friction hoisting engine, and a visit to the factory will demonstrate the fact that business and production are the order of the day.
