| THEMA | Firmenbeschreibung |
| TEXT | This Company are the successors of Samuel Judd, Sons & Co., who succeeded to the business originally established by J. & L. K. Bridge, in 1836. At that time the manufacture of Linseed Oil in this country was in its infancy. American seed only was used, and not more than fifty bushels a day were required to supply their mill. This firm were the first to import seed from foreign countries, and their first cargo was obtained in Sicily. The pioneer vessel in this trade, now so extensive and important, was the "Ship Hercules", Captain Maddigan, owned by this firm, who despatched her to Odessa and Alexandria, and afterward to the East Indies, her first voyage to Calcutta having been made in 1846. In 1838, Mr. Samuel Judd, who for many years previously had been largely engaged in the sperm and whale oil trade, relinquished his business to his sons-in-law, Lewis K. Bridge and James F. Penniman, under the firm of Samuel Judd's Sons; and in 1854, the linseed oil business previously conducted by J. & L. K. Bridge was added to the business of Samuel Judd's Sons, under the firm of Samuel Judd's Sons & Co., and in 1856 became the property of the Judd Linseed and Sperm Oil Company, incorporated in that year under the general manufacturing law of the State of New York. The Works of this company, located on Cherry and Grand streets, have been greatly enlarged since they were originally established. They now consist of two buildings, covering the greater part of a lot two hundred and fifty feet by one hundred feet. The machinery is propelled by three steam engines, two of eighty and one of fifty horse power, and has a capacity for crushing two thousand bushels of seed and producing four thousand gallons of Linseed 'Oil a day. About one hundred hands are employed in their different departments. Since 1863, Mr. James F. Penniman, an old merchant of New York, has been President of the company. Mr. Penniman came from Albany to New York in 1830, and, as before stated, was for many years associated with Mr. Judd in the sperm and whale oil trade. He is a gentleman of large capital and business experience, and affable manners. |
