Besides Stoves, Messrs. SHARPE & THOMSON manufacture Tinned and Enamelled Hollow-ware of a fine quality, as has elsewhere been stated, and, in addition to their manufactories, the firm have a large five story store, at 209 North Second street, which is one hundred and fifty feet in length, and filled with samples of their various productions, presenting an assortment of unsurpassed attraction. The salesrooms are in charge of Mr. CHARLES SHARPE, while the Manufacturing Department is under the supervision of Mr. EDGAR L. THOMSON, an experienced founder. The "Excelsior Stove Works," on Girard avenue and Marshall street, of which Messrs. ISAAC A. SHEPPARD & Co. are proprietors, are fitted up with a full assortment of modern patterns and appliances for the manufac ture of Stoves, Heaters, Ranges, and Hollow-ware. They employ from seventy to eighty men, and melt from twelve to fifteen hundred tons of iron per year. The gentlemen in charge of these works are men of large experience in iron founding, and as a result of their experience, they have found they can produce castings of greater strength and tenacity from a proper mixture of brands of American Iron, than from Scotch Iron, and consequently they use only American Iron of the best brand. Besides Stoves, etc., Messrs. Sheppard & Co. make castings for Plumbers, in fact, all kinds of light and fine castings. Messrs STUART, PETERSON & Co., whose works have been previously referred to, produce about five hundred Stoves a week, or twenty-seven thousand in a year. They make all kinds and styles of Stoves that are in demand, and employ six persons whose business is exclusively to origi nate and prepare new patterns and designs of Stoves and Heating Apparatus. The firms of ABBOTT & NOBLE, COX, WHITEMAN & COX, and LEIBRANDT & MCDOWELL have extensive Stove Foundries, and in addition there are probably fifty stove makers who get their castings from founders, and finish them in their own shops. Besides the Stove Founders, there are several firms who make a specialty of manufacturing Stove Shovels, Pipe, Elbows, and Coal Hods. The principal houses in this branch are those of GEORGE GRIFFITHS, WILLIAM EASTERBROOK, and McCOY & SNELL, all of whom are practical manufacturers, and keep extensive stocks of the finished articles in store. 2.
