| THEMA | Darstellung |
| TEXT | The Variety Iron Foundry and Machine Works is one of the most prominent which contribute in the greatest measure to whatever manufacturing celebrity Lancaster has attained. The works have been in existence since 1867, and were removed to the present location in 1879. The works cover about three acres of ground. The buildings, of which there are several, are all substantial structures, one and two stories in height, and consist of, besides the foundry, the smith
shop, pattern-shop, machine-shop, store-houses, warerooms, and erecting-shops. Each of these departments is well supplied with fine machinery and tools, and a large force of skilled, practical mechanics is constantly employed. Mr. R. Blickenderfer, the founder and owner and proprietor of the business, is a native of Lancaster County. He is a practical machinist and gives ais personal attention to the manufacture of all kinds of machinery, steam engines, saw-mills, water-wheels, and makes a specialty of Boardman's improved cork-machinery, and also orewashers and brick-yard machinery, and to getting out large and small castings and pattern-work of every description. In the repairing department every facility is at hand for repairing steam-engines and machinery, and prompt attention is
given to all work. By maintaining this establishment Mr. Blickenderfer contributes in no small measure to the manufacturing influence of this community, and is valued for the part he is doing towards sustaining the productive industries of this city. |
