| TEXT | This establishment, located at 118 Railroad avenue, was first started in 1867 by Peter Green and Stephen Gould for the manufacture of bolts, spikes, rivets, tubes for boilers, etc., the name in the outset being "The Central Bolt, Spike and Rivet Manufacturing Company." The object was to supply the boiler-makers with flues and the locomotive shops and the various machine works about Paterson with rivets, bolts and other small parts. A large business was done for some time, and, among others, a Boston capitalist, Daniel Harwood, became associated with the founders in the prosecution of the enterprise. But in later years the locomotive and machine shops began to make almost everything used in their operations on their own premises, and the works were not very successful. In 1871 the entire establishment was sold to Mr. Harwood, who placed Antelmo Zini, more recently engaged in the coal business, in charge, and the name was changed to the Union Bolt Works. A few years later the works were again sold, and James Johnston and Arthur B. Pearce secured a controlling interest, which status continues to the present, Mr. Johnston being President and Treasurer and Mr. Pearce Secretary. A foundry has quite recently been added, the product is more varied than in former years and the concern is again prosperous, the product including machinery of different kinds. There are from 75 to 100 hands employed, according to the pressure of orders; the sum of £36,000 was paid in wages during 1881. |
