| TEXT | Mr. Julius Jonson, the esteemed president of the present company, originally founded this business, which, under his able and talented management, had attained a wide range of development, and the highest of reputations. In 1882 it had grown to such proportions that the Jonson Foundry and Machine Co., a duly incorporated joint stock enterprise, was formed, with a capital of sixty thousand dollars, Mr. Jonson becoming the President, and Mr. Julius Elson the Treasurer, Under their honorable and able supervision the company's affairs have prospered, and it carries the general business of brass and iron founders and machinists, including several very important specialties. The company's equipment and facilities are of the most superior character. The foundry proper Is a large building, very eligibly situated on 118th Street, adjoining the Harlem River, and comprising fine, large and light moulding and machine shops, the outfit of machinery being of the most superior character, including a powerful steam hammer and punch, and many machines adapted to specially meet the requirements of various branches of the company's business. The company performs all descriptions of machinist and foundry work, ever maintaining the highest standard of excellence. They contract for the manufacture of machinery generally, fire hydrants, and stop cocks, etc. They supply the Hudson River Railroad and most of the leading trunk lines with Flagg's Patent Crossing Gates, much the best and most durable and reliable in existence. They also supply and make a specialty of the fire hydrants for the city, and which comprise every improvement in their construction. The company supplied a considerable amount of the material used on the Elevated Railroad superstructures of this city, and it is now engaged in manufacturing the grips for the new Cable Street Railroad in upper Tenth Avenue, and also erecting the Iron Depot building. Another important feature is the manufacture of iron fronts lor buildings, also repairing of every description. The trade of the company which has attained large proportions is of a metropolitan character to a great extent, though numbers of out-of-town orders are received and filled, including some export shipments to Mexico, etc. Mr. Jonson was for eight years the assistant engineer of the Croton Aqueduct, ably and faithfully discharging the responsible duties devolving upon him, and is a gentleman who possesses a thorough knowledge of every branch of engineering. Mr. Elson, who is the superintendent of the foundry, as also treasurer, is one of the most talented and hard-working members of the profession in the country, and is well worthy of the large measure of success which has attended his executions. The secretary of the company is Mr. Allston Gerry, a talented business man, widely and favorably known throughout the city. |
