Ts1AsD FoUsDRY.-As indicated by
fts name this establishment is located
ON the Island near the end of the Sus-
pension Bridge, fronting on Zane street
and running through to the alley
The buildings are large, well lighted,
aud we'll ventilated, and are, perhaps
as well arranged for the prosecution OF
the business designed, as any other
similar establishments in the city. They
were originally built by Messrs. /. H.
Williams and Robert Morrison. Their
erection was commenced in the year
ISL, but not completed till 1852, and
the first iron was melted in the CupalO
in Noven Der of that year. During the
period intervening between 1851 and '65,
various changes in the ownership of the
foundry took place. Mr.. Williams,
however, always retained an interest
in it, and did large and, we believe, a
profitable business. To him, we are
told, belongs the credit of being the
pioneer in tine Wholesale stove trade in
the city. Before the building OF Is
land Foundry there WAS no establish

Chapman d Co., have not changed the
character OF the work turned

the original design of Mr.. Williams.
They have, however, introduced several
new patterns OF stoves, and while they

stoves are very popular and are giving
very general satisfaction wherever they
have been Introduced. The hrm nus

stoves they manufacture, which is a
credit to their enterprise.
While paying a very large share

of stoves, which, as before re-
marked, was the object in view in
the establishment of this Foun-

Their entire establishment, which IS
complete in all its details, is driven by

and Atlanta, Ga. They have regular
customers in Cleveland, Dayton, and
other places in Ohio, and also

I towns in the West. TO meet the
demands of their rapidly increasing
I business, they contemplate making ex-
