| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The company owns extensive machine-shops at the corner of Twelfth Street and Market. It is one of the most prominent manufacturing enterprises in the city of Camden, and gives regular employment to about three hundred workmen. A great variety of machinery for woolen-mills is here manufactured. The works were erected and the business originally established in 1863, by the firm of Furbush & Gage. In 1869 Mr. Gage retired from the firm, and Merrill A. Furbush, in partnership with Charles A. Furbush, his son, continued the business, under the firm-name of M.A. Furbush & Son, until January, 1884, when a charter of incorporation was obtained as the M.A. Furbush & Son Machine Company. The business has gradually increased, and is now a very productive industry. The machinery made at these works is sold throughout the United States, Canada and South America. An area of twelve acres, surrounded by Market and Twelfth Streets, the Pennsylvania Railroad and Coopers Creek, is owned and occupied by this company, and several large brick buildings, covering four acres of this tract, constitute the shops where this extensive business is done. The machinery of the works is driven by a one hundred and fifty horsepower engine, supplied by three huge boilers. |
