CAPT. JAMES DAVIDSON, ship builder, was born in Buffalo, N. Y., and has followed sailing from his youth up, two years of which he spent on salt water, making several voyages between New York and Liverpool, and, in 1861, to Calcutta. In his twenty-second year he commanded the schooner Sea Gull, and afterward purchased an inter- est in the schooner Philena Mills, and took command of her. For the past thirteen years he has been engaged in ship building in the Sag- inaw Valley, during which time he built and sailed the schooner Kate Winslow (at the time the largest sailing vessel on the lakes), schooner E. M. Davidson, and steamers Jas. Davidson, Oceanica and Sibe- ria and also several tugs. He is now engaged on the largest steam- ship on the lakes, the dimensions of which are, length, 285 feet; breadth of beam, 40 feet; average depth of hold, 214 feet, with a carrying capacity of 2,500 tons, exclusive of fuel, machinery and outfit. She is fitted with fore and aft compound engines, high pressure cylinder, 30 inches bore, 42 inches stroke; low pressure cylinder, 50 inches bore, 42 inches stroke, and two steel boilers 8} feet shell, 16 feet long, and will be fitted with all modern improve- ments. The captain resides with his family in Buffalo, N. Y., but owing to his large ship building interests in West Bay City, and the time he necessarily spends there, he is looked upon as a resident of the place.


WHEELER & CRANE, ship builders, have been in business since 1879, the location of their yard being conveniently situated on the Saginaw River in the First Ward of West Bay City. They do a large business in ship building and repairing, having had during the past three years upward of twenty boats on their docks, among which may be mentioned the Lycoming and Connamaugh, belonging to the Erie and Western Transportation Company. They furnished the timbers for the steamer Clyde, and built for James McBrier, of Erie, Pa., the propellers Fred MacBrier and Galatea, and the Osce- ola for the Ward Line of steamers, and are at present engaged on a large steam barge for William Forbes, of Port Huron, to cost $75,000. Frank W. Wheeler and Albert A. Crane are the members of the firm.


FRANK W. WHEELER is a native of New York, but when twelve years of age came to Saginaw with his parents where he remained ten years. After acquiring an education he sailed about three years, after which he engaged with his father in ship building. In 1875 he removed to West Bay City and opened a ship yard, and in 1879 formed a partnership with Albert A. Crane, the style of the firm being Wheeler and Crane. Married Eva Armstrong of Saginaw. They have one child, a daughter.


ALBERT A. CRANE was born in the State of New York in 1849, and in 1861 removed to Hillsdale, Mich., and in 1874 came to West Bay City and engaged with Wm. Moots in hardware, also doing business in the line of logs and timber. In 1879 entered into part- nership with F. W. Wheeler in ship yard. Married Josey K. Keefer, of Hillsdale, Mich. They have one child living, a daughter.


THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL CO.


Under the firm name of J. D. Ketchum & Co., a copartnership was formed in 1879 at Cleveland, Ohio, for the purpose of manufac- turing certain chemical articles, which are below enumerated, and the following April the company commenced building operations in the 1st Ward of West Bay City, where their large manufacturing estab- lishment now stands. On Dec. 1, 1881, a joint stock company was

Employ 40 men.


THE WILSON HOOP CO.


The knife hoop machine which is operated by The Wilson Hoop Co., is the result of two years hard and peculiarly exhaustive labor known only to inventors. Money, time and energy have been spent in perfecting it, the ridicule of those who believe that nothing new can succeed has been overcome, and to-day it is believed to be the best machine for the purpose known. As there are in this sec- tion something like 18,000,000 hoops used annually, many of which are brought in from outside, this industry must prove a very valuable addition to the growing prosperity of the city, as well as a credit to the inventor and owners. The first aim of the inventor was to save timber -- an important question to all manufacturers of wooden arti- cles -- and as hoops are formed thicker on one edge than on the other, he conceived the idea of cutting directly from a round or nearly round log, and has adapted his machinery to that end. The advan- tages of the machine are that it wastes no timber as in sawing, and hoops can be made with less labor. In the beginning Mr. Wilson, the inventor, made his plans and interested his partner, Mr. Alex. Bush, in the enterprise. They were at this time, July, 1880, as- sociated with the Saginaw Barrel Co. of Saginaw City, in the man- ufacture and sale of the Wilson washboard. When the plans were perfected and a machine constructed, it was not at first a success as many details had to be changed, and it is thought that the first 20 coils of hoops cost not less than $100 each. But at length every obstacle was overcome and a strong, simple and easily operated ma- chine was the result, which during 1881 cut one million hoops. Owing to poor facilities for steaming, and prejudices existing in the minds of coopers against cut hoops, the growth of the enterprise was slow. A new machine with improvements was added at the place in the Fall of 1881, and about three million more hoops were made up to Nov. 1882, at which time the factory was entirely burned down. In Feb., 1882, Messrs. Wilson & Bush formed a copartner- ship with H. M. Williams, under the name of The Wilson Hoop. Co., and established their business in West Bay City. In Dec. 1882, Mr. Williams sold his one-third interest to William G. Pierce, of Watertown, N. Y., and Mr. Isaac Pierce of Alma, Mich., pur- chased a quarter interest. The capacity of the machine is from 25,000 to 30,000 hoops in 10 hours, and the works employ at present (1883) 30 hands.


WEST BAY CITY MANUFACTURING COMPANY.


This company was organized March 16, 1881, with a capital stock of $24,000, divided into 960 shares of $25.00 each. It purchased the planing mill formerly operated by Arnold & Catlin, and is en- gaged in the manufacture of sash, doors, blinds, mouldings, etc., doing also a general planing mill business. The products of the establishment find a ready market in the northern part of the State. The officers of the company at this date (1882) are John Bourn, president; E. T. Carrington, secretary ; H. H. Norrington, treasurer; M. W. Brock, manager, and the following named directors: J. Bourn, E. T. Carrington, H. H. Norrington, M. W. Brock, J. H. Plum, and E. M. Fowler. The whole number of stockholders at present is thirteen, whose names are, L. E. Noyes, Geo. L. Mosher, Reuben Green, H. S. Ingersoll, J. Thompson, D. G. Arnold, The


Lumberman's State Bank, and the above mentioned officers. The bookkeeper is Mr. I. C. Thompson. The property of this company was sold March 21, 1883, to S. O. Fisher, who subsequently sold an interest to F. P. Cob and A. A. Crane. These gentlemen continue the business under the name of the West Bay City Manufacturing Company.


There are also a flouring mill, tannery, two breweries, etc. All these industries are solid institutions and prosperous.


BUSINESS BLOCKS.


The public buildings have already been described as has also the elegant bank block, which adorns the central part of the city. The business blocks are substantial brick structures, and give an air of solidity and thrift to the city. Those erected since the fire of 1881 are particularly attractive in style of architecture. The Fisher block was built in 1882. This block contains the Opera House and Council rooms, both of which are unusually elegant. Another block belonging to S. O. Fisher was built in 1880. Views of the Opera House and Bank blocks are given in this work. The Norrington, Aplin, Mosher, and Westover blocks, all brick, were built in 1882. Another block belonging to H. H. Aplin, the Van Alstine, and George Reing blocks were built in 1880. Mrs. Moots' block, also the Babo, Rose, Fitzhugh, Allen, and Tschauner blocks were built in 1869. The Davis block was built in 1870; the Vedder block in 1872; the Sage block in 1873; another Tschauner block in 1878, and the Larouche block in 1879. These are the principal brick business blocks in the city.


IMPROVEMENTS OF 1882.


In February, 1883, the Bay City Press contained a carefully prepared review of the improvements made in West Bay City during the year 1882, which we copy, as follows:


"The West is noted for the remarkable growth and prosperity of its young and flourishing cities; but we doubt if in all the vast territory of the Western country, a parallel can be found with that of the enterprising city located on the west side of the Saginaw River, opposite the 'third city' of Michigan. Certainly cities of mushroom growth, which spring up in a night as it were, and dis- appear with equal rapidity and facility, with an abnormal growth, may be cited, but we unhesitatingly affirm our belief that no place on the continent can be named which exceeds the young and pros- perous city of West Bay City, which is rapidly forging ahead, and is even now the 'third city of the Saginaw Valley' in population, man- ufactures, and permanent city improvements. Unlike many West- ern cities, with a forced, unnatural growth, West Bay City has been permanently planted, because a city is absolutely demanded. Her natural resources have impelled her natural but unrivaled growth in population and wealth and all the other elements which insure an enduring foundation and continued advancement. Until six years ago the place was known as the village of Wenona, and although its advancement as a village was remarkable, its unequaled development did not receive its present wonderful impetus until its incorporation as the city of West Bay City. The change seemed to have a magic influence, and from the day of its incorporation to the present, each succeeding year has outrivaled its predecessor in pres- ent development as well as in insuring a permanent future. Her citizens have proven themselves men of enterprise, with public- spirited proclivities, and possessed of that Western characteristic recognized as 'push.' They have labored for the success of their city, and deserve the eminence they have achieved. The city has in- creased in population from 3,000 to 8,000 in six years; nearly eight miles of cedar block pavement has been laid in the past three years, the city is lighted by electricity, extensive water works are being


196

laid, and all the improvements demanded by a live city are being or have been secured. Her system of sewerage is excellent, and is extended to meet the necessities of every situation.


"Her location is unequaled on the Saginaw River, being more elevated than any of her sister cities. Her business men and capitalists are enterprising and public-spirited, as is evidenced by the extensive and tasty brick blocks which have been erected, and many of which anticipate future necessities and are built after the most improved and modern style of architecture, both for adornment and permanence. Her city officials have proved themselves the right men in the right place, as they have succeeded in accomplish - ing the grand results mentioned, while they have also succeeded in keeping the city virtually free from debt. In fact West Bay City stands without a rival to-day in the country in every element which insures present success and future greatness. Below is given in de- tail a statement of the improvements for 1882, and we leave the reader to examine carefully and draw his own conclusions:"
