visit 10 Shaw. kendall & Cos Works

visit to Shaw, Kendall & co'sworks
Toledo.
While in Toledo, recently, We happened to
drou in mon Messrs. Shaw, Kendall & Co., Of
s5 and 81 st. Clair street, and must confess
wa were more than entertained and surprised
with a look over their excellent and popular
works. They are extensive dealers in
wrought, cast and galvanized iron piping for
steam, gas or water purposes, as also in every
variety Of cast and maIlable fittings for the
same. Their spacious workshops, in front Of
which is the private Office of the firm, meas
ures clear through 3lxl20 feet, and are replete
with the finest and most modern machinery,
including many peculiar and important feat
ures not found elsewhere in the city. They
have constantly on hand 8 coPious assortment
of valves, faucets steam whistles, water and
steam gauges, engine trimmings and steam
pumps, beside a host of other modern devices
characteristic of their business. They are
universally popular for iron pipe fitting IN all
its branches adapted to the respective require
ments OF every class of manufacturing institu-
tions, and are ever fully prepared to carry out
contracts on The shortest possible notice at
competition prices not to be met with else
where in the city. They make special point
of engaging none but the most skilled artizans
men whose mechanical experience in their
respective departments is ample to warrant
satisfaction every time. A most prominent
feature of their business is that OF warming
public buildings, churches, schools, hotels and
private dwellings with steam. Among the
institutions in Toledo that use and highly ap-
preCiate their improved steam apparatus, We
may mention the Chamber of Commerce,
Wheelers Opera House, st. Paul's NJ. E.
Church and Police Headquarters. The Lucas
County Insane Asylum Is also among the
number of public institutions that, seeing the
practical utility, real comfort and sanitary
benefit to be derived from method Of heat
ing which warns thoroughly without endsn-
gering life by fire, has adopted Shaw, Kendall
6 Co.'S heating apparatus. 1t has also been
into many States other than Ohio,
and has everywhere received the highest COM
mendatiou. 1t may not be out of place to re-
mark here that properly and thoroughly
fitting up building with an apparatus of this
kind so as TO ensure safety while comforting
comfort, is a matter of no slight difficulty.
The pipe must be perfect, the joints secure
beyond all possibility of leakage and the
whole apparatus complete to the most minute
particular. That the firm succeed in accom- |
plishing all this they have abundant testimo-
mails to prove from the numerous public insti-
tutions and private edifces that have tested |
their steam heating apparatus.
As a sample We annex testimonial from |
the Blade office, which speaks for itself:
TOLEDO, Ohio, March 80, 1874.
We take this opportunity Of adding our testimO-
ny as TO the standing character of work and gcner
al feeling toward Messrs. Shaw, Kendall & Co., /
steam filters, &C., Of our city. We consider them
posted in the business, and know they
employ No. l wOrkmen. Added to this is years OF /
careful experience at Chicago and at Toledo. Their
work gives general satisfaction as occupants
and owners OF such buildings as the Chamber OF |
Commerce, Central Police Station, Lucas County /
Insane Asylum, and our own building attest. /
They are amply able to fulfil any contract they may
assume, mechanically or financially.

THE WORK SHOPS
are favOrably located and generally pre-emi-
nently adapted to important work they are |
engaged in. The main shop, which may also |
be in a measure classed as store, is 3lxS0 it.,
and under it is basement or store used for |
piping of all kinds. In the rear are the boiler |
room ami blacksmith's shop, the latter turn |
ing out every class of new work or repairs in |
a manner that has Justly earned the "worthy |
sons of Vulcan"-Jacob Stager and assistants |
both envied and deserved repute as first
class ''knights of the anvil" The engine is 25
horse power, by HoughtOn & Kneisby, is
splendid goer, and special object Of interest
to visitors. Ga every hand are lathes, drills,
punches and every other needful machine
notieeably a very fine cutting machine that
viii cut thread on steam pipes up to four
inches in diameter. A smaller one stands by
ready for fner work. AL the necessary appa-
ratus for polishing and finishing are also on
hand. Between the manufacturing shop and
the boiler room is an Armstrong heater,
through which the water passes before it en-
ters the boiler.
The firm consists of Messrs. Shaw, Kendall
and HaTdee, gentlemen of thoroughly tested
mechanical ability-most affable and commu-
NEGATIVE, and above all, strictly just and lib
eral in al their trading They certainly do
not boast, being old established, but brim full Of
energy and enterprise added to their superior
acquaintance Of the business it would be diff
cult 70 find their equals in q very long march.
Our country friends will do well 10 thorough
" acquaint themselves with this flrm-they
are tip top business men-and we assure one
and all who do, that, like ourselves, the more
they will not only appreciate their society,
workmanship and ability, but admit them
well worthy of hearty support.

the cures ut present being made in Toledo By
the famous DR.. Clay Todd. We are constant
" hearing Of fresh revelations of his remarks-
bic skill in raising such as have been proclaim
ed by the faculty as incurable, and those of
many years pain and suffering from the worst
chronic complaints are daily receiving relief
at his hands The Doctor is no thirster after
sfilthy lucre," but treats every patient alike
with the utmost attention at the lowest posi-
bic figures. We recommend all those of our
readers who may require advice to give him
call-ho is no quack, but thorough graduate

and extensive practice. He may be found
daily at his Office in Mulhenney's block, cor
ner of Summit and Perry streets, and inyaria-
by gives one and all a cordial greeting, with
the full advantage of face consultation, in
