PUBLISHER'S NOTICES.


Troy Bell Foundry .- The old es-| foundry and shops. In August, 1854, it tablished and popular Troy Bell Foundry was burned down at the great fire in that year. It was a total loss to them, but they were not discouraged, and immediately commenced the erection of the buildings which they now occupy, and in two weeks from the time of the fire cast a bell in the new foundry which, as if by magic, bad risen from the ashes of the old, for New York City, weighing 12,000 pounds, and since have cast bells for that city, each weighing from 10,000 to 12,000 pounds .- They made the large fire-alarm bell for Chicago, weighing 11,000 pounds, and have made them for almost every large city in the United States. of JONES & CO., is one of the numerous successful enterprises in Troy, N. Y., which have made it famous in the annals of in- dustry and ingenious works of art, one of the most important of which is the manu- facture of Bells. The Troy Foundry is one of the oldest in the country, and is com- plete in all its appointments for the found- ing of bells of all sizes, which have, per- haps, been more admired for their beauty of finish and perfectness of sound (in this lies the main utility of the bell) than any in the United States. Long experience and natural genius in this direction are brought to bear here to excel in the production of The first complete chime of bells ever made in this country and placed in a church tower, were cast at this establish- ment for St. Stephen's Church, Philadel- phia. It consisted of nine bells, largest 2838-total weight, 12,798 pounds ; a large chime for the First Evangelist Church at Lancaster, Pa., consisting of eight bells, total weight, 8144; a chime of eleven bells for Christ's Church, Detroit; a chime of eleven bells for First Evang. Luth. Church, Harrisburgh, Pa .; also a large number of others for churches in the United States and Canada. They have also manufactured a number of peals, consisting of from two to six bells. They have made all the large fire-alarm bells for New York City, which fact of itself constitutes a strong evidence of the superiority of their bells. this instrument; the establishment exer- cises great care, and makes use of thorough and infallible tests, to produce none but perfect bells-indeed, they warrant every one they make. They have done much to reduce this business to scientific princi- ples, and bell founders are indebted to them for many of the most important and useful improvements in the processes and principles of casting bells. We could not fail to notice, during our visit to this found- ry, that in the proportions of metals used, the shape and general make of these bells, uniform care was exercised with each, and all made in accordance with the most ap- proved principles of science ; each instru- ment made to produce that uniformly smooth, soft, and melodius sound for which the Troy Bell is famous-nothing of that harshness and roughness which character- izes bells made of poor metal, and in dis- regard of all principles of science governing their manufacture. The size, thickness, weight and tone of every bell is regulated and tested by a diapason or scale, and each set to a certain key or pitch. The larger bells made by this firm all have that clear, far-reaching, and pleasing tone, so much admired in church bells, and which have made the name of these manufacturers so familiar and the bells so popular through- out the country. Our readers will be glad to know something of the history and ex- tent of this foundry.


This foundry was established in 1852, by Jones & Hitchcock, who commenced the manufacture of bells. Both had had many years' experience in the founding business, and believed they could succeed in the es- tablishing of a foundry for this purpose, and set out with the determination to ex- cel, and have been successful in an eminent degree. The first bell founded was for the Fire Department in New York City, weigh- ing 12,000 pounds, which gave entire satis- faction, and was regarded one of the best bells ever cast. They entered upon the manufacture of bells of all sizes, weighing from 15 to 14,000 pounds, and their busi- ness the first year amounted to over $50,- 000. Their bells attained a great populari- ty, and have maintained it since. They commenced in a small building, but, in 1854, their business had increased to such dimensions as to demand more room for operations, and to meet this demand they erected a large three-story building, with


The business is now in the hands of Octavous and Marcus R. Jones, the for- mer having charge of the mechanical de- partment, having been educated in the business, and fully acquainted with all its minutiæ ; the latter, of the books and out- side management, which is conducted with no less ability. Indeed, they had charge of the business previous to the death of their father, Eber Jones, (so well known as an iron founder, and who in connection with Mr. Hitchcock, established these works in 1852,) and will continue to maintain the high reputation of the foundry. They have inherited all the enterprise, genius, and skill of the father, and are, in every respect, worthy successors.


In proof of the superiority of the bell manufactured here, we have only to cite the fact that it has borne off the first prize at the fairs where it has been in competi- tion with the bells from all parts of the world. It took the first premium at the Crystal Palace Fair, in New York, in 1854, receiving a gold medal at the Fair of the American Institute, held in Castle Garden, N. Y., in 1858; at several State Fairs, in various States of the Union, whenever it has been in competition. The prizes were awarded for best Church, Academy, Fire- Alarm, Locomotive, and other Bells; for best Chime and best Peal of Bells. They have testimonials of the excellence of their Bells from those who have purchased and used them. We saw these and a number of gold and silver prize medals.

provement in the hanging of bells, that has decided merits. This method of hanging bells, consisting of a solid tapering shank, in place of the rods formerly used, screwed tightly into the socket made to receive it in the yoke, adds materially to its dura- bility and strength, and increases and im- proves its tone. This valuable improve- ment is used exclusively by this firm.


The bells made here are of the purest metal, and excel in depth and richness of tone on this account. The proprietors have been educated in this business, and pride themselves in the excellence of their workmanship and giving satisfaction to customers. For beauty of finish, sweet- ness of tone, and musical accord, we be- lieve these bells are unexcelled. Purchas- ers may rest assured they will be dealt with here honorably and fairly, receiving the best articles at the most reasonable rates .- Chicago Tribune. See advertisement on page 268.
