| TEXT | Who supply the Western and Southern States with Mowers, Reapers, and Threshers to the amount of a million of dollars annually, commenced business in Canton in 1851, as manufacturers of Stoves and Ploughs, with a very limited capital. In 1855, their Works were destroyed by fire, but through the aid of prominent men of the city they succeeded in rebuilding them on a larger scale, and equipping them with a great variety of suitable machinery for manufacturing Mowing, Reaping, and Threshing Machines, to which they then exclusively devoted themselves, meeting with extraordinary success. The "Buckeye Mower and Reaper", manufactured at their Works, is one of the most popular machines ever introduced to agriculturists; for though the firm in 1863 made six thousand, and in 1864 seven thousand, the demand Was not half supplied. It combines a series of improvements, the inventions of the mechanics of this firm, which have been elsewhere alluded to. Besides Mowers and Reapers, Messrs. Aultman & Co. manufacture annually about three hundred Threshing Machines called the "Sweepstake Thresher", for which the demand is very great. The members of this firm, beginning as humble mechanics, have been remarkably successful, and besides owning real and personal estate, they are also the proprietors of the "First National Bank of Canton." The death of one of their firm has induced them, in order to avoid the legal consequences of such an event in the future, to obtain a Charter of Incorporation, and they are now a corporation styled "C. Aultman & Co.", with a capital of 450.000, all paid in. In 1863, a large branch of their establishment, costing 150.000, was built at Akron, Ohio, which is also in a very flourishing condition. |
