PERSONAL NOTICES.
MAHONING IRON WORKS.
These works were established in the year 1854, by William Bonnell, Joseph and Richard Brown, are now owned and oper- ated by a corporation known as Brown, Bonnell & Co., and are to-day the largest of the kind in this section. They include two blast furnaces (the Falcon and Phœnix), having a capacity of about 100 tons of pig metal per day.
The entire products of these furnaces are consumed in the rolling mills of this company, which are centrally located in this city. The furnaces and mills, with the railroad tracks and bridges connecting each with the other, have entirely obliterated the site of the old O. & P. Canal, which passed alongside of the furnace and original mill building. The canal has long since been abandoned, the locomotives of the different roads entering Youngstown traversing either side of the yard of these works, and by side-tracks connect with their warehouse.
An area of 25 acres is fully occupied by the works of this company with their fiery furnaces and scores of belching smoke stacks, presenting from a distance the appearance of a group of active volcanoes.
The capacity of these mills is about 50,000 tons of finished iron per annum, and they employ close to 800 hands.
The principal product of these works comprises merchant, bar, plate, sheet and hoop iron, nails, railroad and other spikes, and 12-pound T rails, all bearing the celebrated Mahoning brand.

ENTERPRISE IRON WORKS.
These extensive works were constructed in 1863, by Messrs. Shedd, Clark & Co., and are now owned and operated by the firm of Cartwright, McCurdy & Co. They are situated at the west end of Federal street, and embrace an area of about 18 acres; are substantially built, and possess every advantage which this city affords for railway communication with every part of the country. Their products are hoop and band iron and cotton ties.
An addition to the works was made during the summer of 1874, which makes the present capacity as follows: Two 18-inch muck roll trains; one 16-inch three high, onė 10-inch, two 8- inch, one 7-inch, and one 6-inch finishing mills; 30 puddling furnaces, and 9 heating furnaces. The machinery is driven by seven engines, ranging from two hundred to two hundred and fifty horse power. The firm employs, on an average, 600 men and boys.
William H. McCurdy & Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, and William B. Hazleton & Co., No. 912 North Second street, St. Louis, Mo., are sole agents of the above firm.
YOUNGSTOWN ROLLING MILL CO.
These works, located immediately west of the city limits, were put in operation in 1870. The works cover an area of about 21 acres, and are furnished with the most improved fur- naces and appliances for melting and rolling the superior quali- ties of iron for the production of which this firm is widely noted.
The mill, as built after the conflagration of 1877, is 160 by 200 feet in size, to which has been added an iron structure 160 by 148 feet, usually denominated by the employes as the new mill, and which, together with boiler house and shops, is with- out doubt the most complete mill of its kind, in all respects, east or west.
213
YOUNGSTOWN DIRECTORY.
The specialties of these works are horseshoe bar iron, hinge, hoop, band, wagon-box iron, hame iron, and iron for cotton ties; besides which they make washers of all sizes, and special shapes to order. They make a specialty of hoop-iron, and hoops for tubs, pails and churns, beer and wine kegs, oil and whisky bar- rels, band iron for oil, beer and water tanks; the average pro- duction of manufactured iron in the above commodities being 50 tons per day, which finds a ready market all over the coun- try in all directions.
The firm are specially represented in Cleveland by the house of Condit, Wick & Co .; in St. Louis by Link & Hess, and in Chicago by the Kirk Iron & Hardware Co.
WICK, ARMS & CO. (THE GRASSHOPPER MILL.)
These works are located in the northeastern part of the city, in close proximity to the works of the Mahoning Valley Iron Co. 'The firm organized in 1879, and consists of John D. Wick, M. I. Arms, T. B. Baldwin, Warner Arms, and Tod Ford. Special attention is paid to the manufacture of bar iron, hot pressed nuts, bridge and boiler rivets, railroad and boat spikes.
The capacity of the mill is 500 tons a month, employing 50 hands.
The immense amount of iron turned out in this mill (for the size of it), gave it the nickname of " Grasshopper " Mill, which name the company afterwards adopted as their own cognomen.
MAHONING VALLEY IRON CO.
This firm purchased the rail mill known as the Valley Mill, in September, 1879, and have since made large additions thereto, and have converted it into a merchant bar iron mill.
The mill now contains 16 double puddling furnaces, and 10
214
YOUNGSTOWN DIRECTORY.
heating furnaces, one 20-inch and one 16-inch bar trains; one 9-inch train and one 6-inch train.
The capacity of the mill is 100 tons finished bar iron every twenty-four hours.
The firm have also built a new blast furnace called the " Hall- nah " furnace, 16 by 65 feet, having a daily capacity of 60 tons, from which they get their supply of metal.
The works are situated in the northeast part of the city, along the line of the N. Y. P. & O. R. R., and L. S. & M. S. R. R., and employ about 400 hands.
THE GLENCOE IRON WORKS.
Messrs. Arms, Bell & Co., the proprietors of these works, incepted a new departure for Youngstown, and were until re- cently the only manufacturers engaged in working up iron into its more elaborate and expensive shapes. These works, located on the bank of the Mahoning river, consist of substantial and neatly built structures covering an area of 225 by 150 feet. These appear to be literally alive with machinery. Every avail- able inch of space not required for passage-ways is occupied with a machine, which performs in the most expeditious and effective manner some part of the work incidental to the manufacture of their cold pressed nuts and washers, lag screws, machine and railroad track bolts, &c., &c.
The capacity of these works is equal to, if not greater, for the production of a general line of bolts and nuts, than any other in the United States. There are produced daily 60,000 bolts, sixty 200 lbs. kegs of cold pressed nuts and washers, twenty-five 200 lbs. kegs of liot pressed nuts and washers, five tons railroad track bolts, and in proper season three tons cotton tie buckles. The firm employs about 175 hands.
Messrs. Arms, Bell & Co. assert their claims of superiority for their cold pressed nuts over other makes, and that their goods are more uniform, and therefore more reliable, than the hot pressed.
215
YOUNGSTOWN DIRECTORY.
These extensive works were established in 1864, since which time the buildings have been enlarged and new machinery in- troduced to keep pace with their steadily increasing trade, which extends to all parts of the country.
UNITED STATES IRON CO.
This corporation is entirely devoted to the manufacture of cotton ties. The company consists of the Youngstown Rolling Mill Company of Youngstown, and W. H. McCurdy & Co. of Cleveland. The works give employment to an average of 125 men and boys. The works make a specialty of the manufacture of the STANDARD and other leading ties, large amounts of which are sold annually in the southern cities of Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, and Rome, Georgia; and Selma, Montgomery, and Mobile, Alabama.
They are also prepared to make ties of other styles for pat- entees when desired, having facilities for manufacturing ties, plain or slotted, not excelled by any other similar establish- ment.
WILLIAM TOD & CO. (SUCCESSORS TO HOMER HAMILTON & CO.)
. These works were established over thirty years ago by Homer Hamilton, a skilled and practical mechanic, who still retains the supervision over the operation of this well known establishment. His successors are all men of long experience in the iron busi- ness, and command ample capital to carry forward this extensive enterprise.
They own about five acres of land adjacent to the Pennsylva- nia Railroad, where they have extended side-tracks and unsur- passed facilities for loading, by means of large derricks, their heavy castings, immediately on board the cars.
216
YOUNGSTOWN DIRECTORY.
The buildings of this company consist of the main foundry, a new machine shop, but, recently erected, built of brick, with slate roof, being in dimensions 108 by 60, a fire proof pattern house, pattern shop, a blacksmith shop for forging and smith- work, separate from the other buildings, 48 by 60, and office buildings.
Besides the numerous machinery acquired during all these years, they have recently added a massive planer weighing 33 tons; a ten-foot boring and turning mill, with patent pulley at- tachments. (This machine will operate on a casting 10 feet in diameter.) They have also added a shaper and numerous other appliances. The blacksmith shop has been especially fitted up with all modern appliances, the engines and boilers being entire- ly new.
The buildings occupy ground space of three-fourths of an acre, and the plant is one of the most complete in the state, and espe cially adapted for extra heavy work.
The foundry has a capacity for making castings as high as 25 tons. They are now making a hot blast oven weighing about 120 tons, for the Brier Hill Iron and Coal Company.
These works are run chiefly upon castings for furnaces, mills, and mines, while they also do a great variety of general foundry work and repairing. They operate under favorable conditions, the entire area they possess, being underlaid with a bed of fine molding sand, while the cheapness of raw mate- rial here affords them every manufacturing advantage. They give employment to about 50 first-class machinists and molders.
The proprietors are Messrs. William Tod and John Stam- baugh, and the business is under the immediate management of Mr. Paul Jones.
BOOTH, MILLER & CO.
The Falcon Foundry & Machine Shop, located at the foot of Phelps street, is one of the most successful manufacturing estab- lishments in Youngstown, having since its inception possessed every facility for the rapid and economical performance of every class of foundry and machine work. Their buildings consist
217
YOUNGSTOWN DIRECTORY.
of a very commodious foundry, a large and finely equipped machine and pattern shop, besides a substantial three-story fire- proof pattern house, 24 by 80 feet. Their foundry has two cupolas, with a capacity for melting 18 tons of iron per day. These works are constantly at work for the various mills, fur- naces and coal mines in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys, from which they receive a liberal patronage.
They are also agents for the Blake, Cooper & Epping, and Carpenter's steam pumps, Burke's blowing cylinder packing, used in blast furnaces, and Dunbar's steam packing for engines.
The building of locomotives forms a large feature of their enterprise. They are at present engaged in building a number of engines for several manufacturing and railroad companies of this valley. They also make a specialty of superior chilled rolls for rolling mills, of all sizes, up to six tons, and cotton tie punches and dies, of which they are producing large numbers for Youngstown and Pittsburgh manufacturers.
The proprietors of these works, which were established in 1847, are Messrs. Booth, Miller & Co. They employ 40 skilled workmen in the several departments, their present business tax- ing the capacity of the shops almost to their fullest extent.
MORSE BRIDGE CO.
These works, amongst the latest additions to our industries, were projected by H. G. and C. J. Morse, who, by the co- operation of a few of our enterprising citizens, were enabled to put them in operation January, 1878. They are located one mile southeast of the city, on the Mahoning river, on a level tract of land lying between the N. Y. P. & O. Railroad, the A. & P. Railroad, and the river, where every desirable facility for side and yard tracks is amply afforded, enabling them to receive the raw materials at their doors, and to load the heaviest bridge girders, by means of derricks, immediately on board the cars in their yards, from whence they ship direct by every railroad cen- tering in Youngstown. These works are designed and adapted
218
YOUNGSTOWN DIRECTORY.
for the construction of all classes of iron bridges, roofs, boilers, towers, &c.
The attention of the proprietors has, however, been given more particularly to the building of railroad and highway truss bridges, in which line they have successfully competed in prices with bridge companies at other points, and have at present un- der construction a large number of bridges, one of the last they have received a contract for being for the Greenwood Manufac- turing Co., of New Hartford, Conn., to connect their cotton mills with the Connecticut Railroad Co., each span of the bridge being 240 feet from centre to centre.
The present works embrace two buildings, measuring 180 by 50 feet, and 160 by 50 feet, besides office, wareroom, and other necessary outbuildings. They employ at present 100 men.
BOILER WORKS.
William B. Pollock & Co. are extensive manufacturers of boilers, and have for many years past practically controlled this industry in Youngstown, having the almost entire patronage of the furnace and rolling mill companies here, and also numerous other similar establishments in the Mahoning valley. Their works have a capacity for turning out a great variety of boiler and tank work, and employ the heaviest and most improved machinery essential to accurate and economical work.
There is probably no place in this country where they could have more advantageous facilities for boilermaking than are found here. It is an industry specially suited to the demands of Youngstown.
Besides having a good home market, this concern enjoys great advantages for shipping to all parts of Ohio and Pennsyl- vania. They employ at present a force of 50 men.

THE FORSYTH SCALE WORKS.
These works were established in 1841 at Rochester, N. Y., by Orrin Forsyth, and continued in successful operation until 1870, when the company split, Orrin Forsyth going to Wauke- gan, Ills., near Chicago, establishing himself with his sons, un- der the name of Forsyth Scale Works, the remaining partner of the old company continuing at the old stand under the same name.
Litigations ensued regarding the right to name, patents, &c., &c., which were decided by the Supreme State Court of New York, in favor of Orrin Forsyth. The Rochester parties, in order to get out of jurisdiction of the courts of New York, moved their shop to Erie, Pa., and lawsuits again became the order of the day.
As a way out of never ending quarrels, both Forsyth Scale Works sold their entire interests, tools, patterns, good will, right to name, &c., &c., to a company organized in this city under the name of Forsyth Scale Co., with John Stambaugh as president, William Tod vice president, and Paul Jones as sec- retary and treasurer.
