Some twenty-six years ago a partnership was formed in Cambridge between George W. Rawson and John G. Morrison, for the manu- facture of hoisting engines, fertilizer dryers and plate iron work. At about the same time there was formed in Boston a company, known as the Automatic Coal Handling Company, which controlled the Newell & Ladd Patent steam shovel, this being a coal-handling shovel whose operation was something like that of the Rawson
shovel, the patent of which was controlled by the firm of Rawson & Morrison.
The Automatic Coal Handling Company was succeeded by John A. Mead & Company, of New York City and Rutland, Vt. A working agreement was formed between Rawson & Morrison and John A. Mead & Company, con- trolling the patents of these two grabs, and out of the development of these grabs there has emanated the large business of the Mead-Morri-

son Manufacturing Company. Up to the time of the formation of these two companies coal had been handled by the crudest methods, but these automatic grabs changed the entire con- dition of labor in the discharging of coal from vessels. When the first Newell & Ladd grab was installed at Burns Brothers, in New York City, it took the place of seventy men. Of course, any machine that could save seventy men to an employer would be in great demand.
It was only a step from the development of the shovel to the development of an engine that
Massachusetts. In 1904 the Mead-Morrison Manufacturing Company was incorporated and purchased the interests, in the coal handling business, of the John A. Mead Manufacturing Company, which had absorbed John A. Mead & Company, and in 1906 the Mead-Morrison Manufacturing Company purchased all the interests of the Rawson & Morrison Manu- facturing Company. This company has been most successful; it has a capital of $1,000,000, and at the present time has contracts on hand amounting to about $2,000,000. It has shipped its product all over the world and maintains

would operate this shovel. From the engine that operated the shovel, there naturally came up the question of the carrying away of the coal. This produced first, the cable road for carrying coal from docks; later the transporter for carry- ing coal through power houses and pockets; the McCaslin conveyor for carrying coal to boilers and taking the ashes away; the man trolley for carrying coal in large units, and other labor-saving devices for the handling of sand, gravel, broken stone, phosphate and other loose materials.
In 1894 Mr. Rawson died, and in 1896 the Rawson & Morrison Manufacturing Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of
offices in the large cities of the United States. Its machinery handles most of the coal for the United States government, and it has installed complete discharging and storage plants for many of the large railroads operating through- out the United States. The foreign business of the company extends to Brazil, England, Alaska, South Africa, and the Philippine Islands.
In addition to the manufacture and installing of coal-handling machinery, the company manu- factures a complete line of steam, electric and gasoline hoists, derrick swinging machines, grab buckets, etc., for use in the contracting and quarrying business. Its shops and erection force employ some five hundred men.

The new building of the Cambridge Gas Light Company is at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Temple Street. The main entrance opens directly into a large room thirty-two feet by eighty-one feet and twenty-four and a half feet high, called the appliance room, where the various appliances by which gas is used will be on exhibition. This room is dignified in char- acter, the arch motive of the exterior being carried out on all four sides and forming pene- trations in the ceiling, which is vaulted. Large
service entrance and a shipping room, which occupy the rear inner corner of the building and are accessible from Temple Street by a paved court covered at the inner end for protection in receiving and delivering goods. This service entrance has an opening to the appliance room. A "lamp room," which can be darkened for display purposes, completes the equipment on this floor.
The mezzanine story is reached by stairs from the business office. The directors' room is on

show windows fill one side of the room. The walls and ceiling are plastered, and the floor is marble.
Around this large room are grouped the offices and work rooms of the company. The office of the president and general manager, with a con- sultation room, is at the right. At the rear is the business office, with large windows and counters, opening directly to the appliance room. The cashiers' cages and a vault occupy the cen- tral portion of this space. A corner room on Temple Street, entirely shut off from the other rooms, is arranged for stenographers and for filing records. There are also on this floor a

From the appliance room on the main floor a staircase gives access to the basement, where it is planned to demonstrate the use of all sorts. of gas appliances, ranges and heaters, which are on exhibition here as well as above. A store- room, lockers and a rest room for the men em- ployes are arranged on this floor. Space is provided for the heating and ventilating plant,

with a filter chamber and fan to supply the vari- ous offices with fresh air. The building is thor- oughly ventilated by the most approved system.
When the Cambridge Gas Light Company began its career, over half a century ago, the field was limited, and great expense attended the manufacture of gas. But during these years the company has taken advantage of every new development to give its consumers better gas and service at greatly reduced prices, and today satisfactorily supplies the greater part of Somer- ville and all of Cambridge.
The company was incorporated in 1852 by John H. Blake (the first president of the com- pany), Gardner G. Hubbard, Isaac Livermore, Charles C. Little and Estes Howe. The latter was chosen clerk and treasurer.
Since its organization in 1852, the company has had nine presidents, viz .: John H. Blake, elected December 31, 1852; Gardner G. Hub- bard, elected August 10, 1864; A. E. Hildreth, elected July 25, 1867; John M. Tyler, elected September 3, 1877; Daniel U. Chamberlin, elected January 27, 1886; Quincy A. Vinal, elected April 12, 1897; Willard A. Bullard, elected July 31, 1904; Daniel G. Tyler, elected November, 1912, and Albert M. Barnes, elected January 2d, 1913.
The first clerk and treasurer, Estes Howe, filled that office for thirty-five years, and was succeeded by Adolph Vogel in 1887. He served until 1897, when Albert M. Barnes, now presi- dent and general manager, was chosen. On Mr. Barnes' election to the presidency in Janu- ary, 1913, Mr. Vinton W. Mason became treas- urer.
The present officers and directors are as follows: Albert M. Barnes, president and general manager; Vinton W. Mason, treasurer; Karl S. Barnes, clerk and assistant manager; Daniel G. Tyler, Stanley B. Hildreth, Henry Endicott, George A. Sawyer, Arthur C. Whitney and George W. Hutchins, directors. John P. Ken- nedy is superintendent and Theodore Erhard assistant superintendent.
A few years ago one dollar per thousand cubic feet was the price to which consumers might look forward as the very lowest possible. But during that time the Cambridge Gas Light Com- pany has voluntarily reduced its rate three times, so that today the low rate of eighty cents
per thousand cubic feet has placed gas within the means of all householders; not only for illum- inating, but also for cooking, heating and many other uses which modern invention has made possible for gas. With this price goes the best service and attention, for the company attends promptly to all needs and its employes are courteous and efficient.
One of the most important branches of the company is that devoted to the sale of gas apparatus of all kinds. A large department is given up to the display of modern gas stoves, heaters and other appliances. When Mr. Barnes became clerk and treasurer in 1897, there was no department of this kind. He gave much attention to building up this par- ticular branch of the business. . Gas stoves and kindred appliances are now in use all over the city. Since the department was opened, over twenty-five thousand pieces of apparatus have been sold. The value of gas service in increasing the earning capacity of rented property is be- coming more and more evident to landlords, with the result that all the large apartment houses, tenements, and a number of the private residences in the city are now rented with gas stoves and gas attachments all complete.
The active management of the Cambridge Gas Light Company devolves upon Albert M. Barnes. It is a source of much gratification to this gentleman to know that the company has more than doubled its plant and its out- put since he assumed office in 1897. The present excellent service is in no small measure due to Mr. Barnes' wise management.
Officials of the company are firm believers in the ability of gas to hold its own with elec- tricity, and immediate return on investment is not considered. Customers come first, and the wisdom of this policy is justified by sixty years of history.
The Cambridge Gas Light Company plant is one of the best equipped in the United States. In 1902 the paid-up capital was $700,000, and today its paid-up capital is $1,440,000.
Ingenious minds have during the past few years invented appliances which have wonder- fully increased the possibilities of gas for illumi- nation, and have multiplied its other uses. Hot-water heaters now come in all sizes, from a small burner that will heat the water for one
305

room to a large affair that will heat the water for a whole house more effectively than a stove or a furnace.
All the latest appliances for heating and cooking by gas are on exhibition at the Cam- bridge Gas Company's office, Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
Each year since 1852, when the Cambridge company was incorporated, has seen an increase in the company's business, and within the last ten years it has more than doubled. A table for the last eight years shows the results of the company's policy in promoting efficiency and giving the best possible service to the consumer:

The company does a large business in coke, and has stoves especially constructed for burning it. Coke gives much more heat than coal, and as it is easily controlled with proper appliances, its use is constantly increasing.
It is natural that the barrel-making industry should center around a locality where barrels are made use of in large quantities as they are in the various pork packing establishments, the sugar refinery and elsewhere in this city. Goepper Brothers have been making barrels for many years. The concern of which they are the head and front came into existence in 1870, the business being started in Charlestown. It was transferred to Cambridge two years later. From a small beginning the business has de- veloped into an extensive and profitable one. In 1895 the concern was incorporated under Massachusetts laws, with a capital of $30,000, the officers being the two founders, Gustavus Goepper, president, and William Goepper, treasurer. Both gentlemen are directors and members of the investment committee of the East Cambridge Savings Bank, and the former is one of the oldest directors in the Cambridge Electric Light Company. Both are, and have been for a great many years, among the leading citizens of Cambridge, standing for the strictest business integrity and being regarded as men of sound judgment.
The works of the Goepper Brothers Company are located on Ninth Street, opposite Spring
Street. The plant has a frontage on the Grand Junction Railroad of over three hundred feet, giving the Company unrivalled receiving and shipping facilities. The main building is three stories in height and fifty by one hundred feet in dimensions. Two large storage buildings are two stories each, one containing 20,000 and the other 14,000 square feet of floor space. In addition, there are other structures, including dry houses, storage sheds, office, etc. In the various departments upwards of one hundred men are employed. While the Company's leading specialty is sugar barrels, it is in a posi- tion to turn out all kinds of barrels. The capacity of the plant is 3,000 new barrels per day, besides renovating upwards of a thousand second-hand barrels. The Company pays out in wages a sum exceeding $50,000 annually.
The business of the concern is not confined to Cambridge or to this immediate vicinity, large shipments being made outside the state and to quite a distance away, in many cases. The Company enjoys a splendid reputation for the high quality of its manufactures, and the user of barrels who can procure his supply from Goepper Brothers considers himself most fortunate.
