| THEMA | Firmenbeschreibung |
| TEXT | Have one of the most remarkable Steam Engine establishments in the United States. In 1851 this firm astonished the makers of steam engines by publishing and offering a list of certain sizes, ranging from ten to thirty-five horsepower, at prices much below any that had ever been heard of before. This they were enabled to do by building a large quantity of each size at one time and confining their attention to one article of manufacture. Their workshops are conducted upon the English plan, each workman having a limited and uniform range of duty throughout the year. The principle upon which they commenced business secured the favor of the public, and their Engines are so popular both in the United States and in the Canadas, that though they designed to keep a large stock of finished Engines on hand at all times, the demand has outstripped their facilities for manufacturing. Messrs. Woodbury A Co. are about erecting new and more commodious workshops. |
