| TEXT | As noted in the foregoing sketches of the establishment of early machinists, the firm of Anderson & Buckley began the business of manufacturing spindles, flyers, etc., in the rear of the Nightingale Mill in 1844, when about six hands were employed. Two years later the firm moved to the Todd & Rafferty Works, where thirteen hands were employed. In 1847 they occupied a portion of the old Hamilton Mill, about which time Mr. Anderson died and one Hathaway was admitted to a partnership. Subsequently Mr. Hathaway retired and Mr. Buckley continued in the business alone, remaining in the Hamilton Mill about seventeen years in all, and doing a very successful business, employing from fifteen to twenty hands. About 1863-64 the business was removed to the present location, in the Gun Mill, where the manufacture has been prosecuted for the space of nearly or quite eighteen years. Here the space occupied consists in part of a main room, 80x40 feet, and a blacksmith shop, 30x25 feet. The capacity of the concern is equal to a production amounting to $75.000 per annum, though the actual out-put does not reach that figure. From twenty to twenty-five hands are employed; the annual disbursement for wages aggregates from 8.000 to 9.000. The product includes spindles, flyers, rings, tubes, caps, etc., for cotton, silk, flax, woolen and worsted machinery. The water-power used is rated at ten-horse. The members of the present firm arc Benjamin Buckley, William J. Buckley, John Townley and Joseph Buckley. The senior member of the firm, who is a staunch Republican, has been honored by his fellow citizens with the office of State Senator and also with that of Mayor of the city, to which latter he was several times re-elected; his great ability as an executive officer being recognized and appreciated by citizens of all political faiths. |
