THE TAYLOR MANUFACTURING CoNpAxY. of
this city, which has been In. operation about
iiye years has far exceeded the most sanguine
expectations Of its friends. Starting with
capital ESQ, 900 at a time when every busi.
ness was depressed followed by the financial
crash Of 1873 and our political troubles in
1876, the success il has met with is almost re-
markAble. Good work and material. and
extensive advertising, have brought the Com.
pany so prominently before the public that
they have been compelled to increase the mum.
Der of employees to I'LL their orders. In order
to show what they are doing we mention the
orders received during the last week--oue 40
horse power dry steam portable engine, and
one lOhorse engine to be shippedto CHEYENNE,
Wyoming Territory, destined for the Black
Hills, to be used in the gold mines they will
also build mammoth wagon to be used in
hauling the largest engine from Cheyenne to
the Black Hills, distance of 300 miles
From East London, British Kaffraria, South
Africa, they received an order for one of their
celebrated Clipper agricultural engines; two
. horse for Florida, one for Alabama, one for
New Jersey, and one 10 horse engine for
Virginia. We give these in order to show
that the work turned out by this Company has
reputation abroad, and is not confined to
our own State, and that il is building up
trade and reputation which is excelled by few
older establishments, after years of long toll
The prospects for large sales this season are
very tlattering, and the Company contemplate
/ building extensive additions to their shops in
order to meet the demand, which is thought
will soon average over one engine per day.
