| TEXT | The manufacture of White Lead was first commenced in the United States, as we stated in the preceding volume of this History, by Mr. Wetherill, of Philadelphia, during or before the Revolution. His grandsons, of the firm of Wetherill & Brother, continue the manufacture, and have a factory on the west side of the Schuylkill. They employ an engine of eighty-horse power, and consume daily about 18.000 pounds of pig lead. The most extensive manufacturers of this article in the city of Philadelphia, where there are now four factories, and among the largest in the country, are the firm of John T. Lewis & Brothers. The history of their connection with the manufacture is as follows. |
