| TEXT | Iron for building purposes possesses superior advantages as is strength, durability and adaptability to ornament and decoration. Keep an iron front properly painted, and after years of exposure to wind and weather, it will be as perfect as the day of erection. In resisting any kind of strain, iron is superior to granite. In connection with these remarks, desire to make special reference in this mercantile and industrial review of St. Louis, to the representative and reliable Union Iron and Foundry Company, manufacturers of all kinds of iron work for buildings, whose works are located on Second, Barry and Kosciusko streets. This successful company was incorporated in 1887 under the laws of Missouri, with a paid up capital of $25,000, and its trade now extends, not only throughout the Southern, Southwestern and Western states, but also to Mexico. The works have an area of 250x200 feet, and the various workshops, foundry, etc, are fully equipped with the latest improved appliances and machinery, operated by a thirty-five horse power steam engine. Here 100 skilled workmen are employed, who turn out all kinds of architectural iron work for buildings, iron fronts, beams, girders, columns, shutters, iron staircases, fire escapes, railings, etc. They supplied the cast and wrought iron works for the following buildings, giving entire satisfaction to patrons, viz: Globe-Democrat building, Faust building, Drey & Kahn's warehouse, Plate Glass Dealers, Leggett & Meyer's tobacco factory, St. Louis; also the Alhambra and Cook county Abstract building, Chicago, and the Monterey Brewing Company's brewery, Monterey, Mexico, and are at present furnishing the work for the new Mercantile Club building and Tiffany building Their work is unsurpassed for quality of materials, finish, reliability and workmanship, by that of any other contemporary house in the trade, while the prices quoted in all cases are extremely just and reasonable. The executive offices of the company, who are highly esteemed in trade circles for their skill and strict integrity are Mr. W. J. Patchell, president, and Mr. A. H. Doellner, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Patchell was formerly connected with the Scherpe & Koken Architectural Iron works, while Mr. Doellner was for fourteen years with the McMurray-Judge Iron Works. |
