THE RISE AND PROGRESS
1881; p. 553.) Mr. Whiteley organized the manu- facturing firm of Whiteley, Kelley, and Fassler, in which his associates were O. S. Kelley and Jerome Fassler. An even earlier company engaged in making reapers in Springfield was Warder and Brokaw. The construction of grain drills was begun in 1856 by Thomas and Mast (John H. Thomas and Phineas P. Mast). A notable man in the Springfield agricultural implement interest of later years was Asa S. Bushnell (afterward Governor), whose firm was Warder, Bush- nell, and Glessner.
The present concerns in this interest are large and widely known. There are some four thousand, five hundred persons employed in the various establish- ments which manufacture agricultural implements in Springfield, and the total output has a value approxi- mating one-half that of the combined industries of the city.
Other principal lines of manufacture, as enumerated in a recent article by Mr. W. S. Thomas (Ohio Magazine, Vol. III, pp. 363-65), are machinery and machinery supplies, gas and steam engines, iron and steel, pub- lishing, floral products, beer, medicines, and coffins. Summing up the facts of principal importance in rela- tion to the local industries, Mr. Thomas says: "Spring- field makes more agricultural implements than any other city in the world, excepting only Chicago; has twenty acres under roof in green-houses, and one of these is the largest rose-grower in the world; manu- factures seventy-five per cent of all the piano plates used in the United States and Canada; and is one of the largest producers of gas and gasoline engines."

OF AN AMERICAN STATE
The United States census for 1910 gives these figures for "all Springfield industries" :- value of products, $19,246,000; capital, $22,845,000; establishments, 195; persons engaged, 8,634; wage-earners, 7,405; primary horsepower, 10,179; wages, $3,985,000.
IO. Hamilton, tenth city. Population :- 1820, 660; 1830, 1,079; 1840, 1,409; 1850, 3,210; 1860, 7,223; 1870, 11,081; 1880, 12, 122; 1890, 17,565; 1900, 23,914; 1910, 35,279.
Manufacturing in Hamilton received its first stimu- lus from the construction of a hydraulic canal, which brought to the town the water from the Miami River at a point about four miles above. An act of the Legislature was passed March 25, 1841, incorporating the Hamilton and Rossville Hydraulic Company, and the first water was passed through on the 27th of January, 1845. Another race was built on the west side of the river. The first waterpower leased was to Erwin, Hunter, and Erwin, for their flouring mill. The hydraulic canal system of Hamilton afforded waterpower "superior to any other artificial power in the Middle West, and has been of inestimable benefit to the city." ("Centennial History of Butler County," p. 252.) In 1852, there were the following thriving establishments on the hydraulic :- Miller, Campbell, and Company's sawmill; the Owens, Lane, and Dyer Machine Company; the cotton factory built by Wil- liam Bebb and L. D. Campbell; the Miami Paper Mill, established by William Beckett and F. D. Rigdon in 1849; the Hamilton Paper Mill of Maguire, Klein, and Erwin; Bernett's sawmill; Shuler and Benning- hofen's woolen mill; the Hydraulic Sash Factory; the

Hamilton Hydrualic Mills of John W. Erwin and Wil- liam Hunter; Aaron Potter's marble works; the Hamil- ton Plane Factory of Charles F. Eisel; Peter Black's power plant; the Long and Allstatter Company; Deinger, Stephan, and Company, and the Hamilton River Mills.
A very important accession to the local industries was that of the Niles Tool Works, which in 1871 was induced to remove to the city from Cincinnati as the result of special inducements given by Hamilton. Castings, engines and varied machinery, agricultural implements, safes, tools, paper, flour, and beer are among the leading present manufactures.
Totals for Hamilton manufactures in 1910 :- value of products, $18,184,000; capital, $24,620,000; establish- ments, 125; persons engaged, 7,770; wage-earners, 6,895; primary horsepower, 22,563; wages, $3,798,000.
