| TEXT | Thirty-five years ago, or in 1849, the business of the world-renowned firm of Merrick & Sons was founded by them in Philadelphia, Pa. In the line of the manufacture of steam engines and all kinds of steam machinery, pumping engines and sugar machinery a specialty, they ever stood unrivalled, and in the van as regarded perfection and progress. Their engines and machinery were not only appreciated and put into active use all over the United States, but were largely shipped to foreign countries, the West Indian and other tropical planters referring their excellent and economical sugar machinery to all other makes. Three years ago the firm retired, and its immense business has since been actively continued by the Southwark Foundry Machine Company, whose headquarters are at No. 480 Washington Avenue. Philadelphia, Pa. The following skilled and experienced gentlemen are at its head and ably conduct its affairs: Mr. Joseph L. Ferrell, General Manager; Mr. G. A. Bostwlck, Secretary and Treasurer. The company executes all orders and contracts for everything in the line of steam engineering and machinist work, and is the sole maker of the popular Porter-Alien high-speed steam engine. The company's New York office is located at No. 44 Astor House, Broadway, and is under the control and management of Mr. C. Franckenhoff, one of the best known and most success- ful experts in all that pertains to sugar machinery, etc. He is a gentleman of vast practical acquaintance with the various branches of steam engineering, having had no less than twenty-five years' experience with Merrick & Sons, and five years with R. Deeley & Co., of New York. Mr. Franckenhoff is now the engineer of the sugar machinery department of the Southwark Foundry and Machine Company, and is fully prepared to promptly supply machinery of every description for sugar plantations and refineries. He is widely known to tropical merchants and sugar planters as a thoroughly competent and skilful engineer, and orders for machinery filled by him have invariably given the fullest satisfaction. His connections are thus widespread and of a strictly first-class character, and he is fully prepared to meet the requirements in his specialties from all parts of the world. He likewise contracts for the building of all classes of steam machinery, inclusive of the Porter-Allen high-speed steam engine, water works, pumping engines, steam pumps, wine pumps, centrifugal pumps, blowing engines, hydraulic elevators of an improved description, and will promptly furnish estimates as to cost per horse-power or capacity. He is fully prepared to promptly fill all orders in the best style of workmanship, his company having every possible facility at command, employing as high as seven hundred men, and annually turning out work that attains proportions of the greatest magnitude. Mr. Franckenhoff is a native of Germany, long a permanent resident of New York and Philadelphia, and whose enterprise and energy as devoted to the perfection of sugar machinery has given him an enduring reputation of an international character, and by the exercise of great commercial integrity and mechanical ability, combined with a straightforward system of honorable dealing, Mr. Franckenhoff has attained a prominence which is accorded only to those whose lifetime has been successfully devoted to the furtherance and development of facilities to aid in a branch of trade of such world-wide necessity as the production of the sugar of commerce. |
