The white Iron Foundry.

The white Iron Foundry.
The White Iroi foundry is a Paw
tucket industry which has withstood all
business depression. Business was COM
menced nearly forty-six years ago by the
father of j S. White, the present owner,
who dissolved partnership with Governor
Earle, and by Clark Sayles. father OF ex-
Mayor w. +. Sayles.
In 1859, after the death of their father.
n copartnership was formed by the two
sons, Y. u. and j. ;. White, and at that
time there were only two small build
iugs, one the small foundry on the west
side of Dexter street aud the other the
pattern shop on the east side Of that
thoroughfare. During their twenty
years copartnership they only added the
machine and carpenter shop ana slightly
j creased the store room for patterns
and models. They did start to build the
present foundry in 1872 but times were
81 discouraging aud prospects so poor
that ihey got only started on the walls
before they decided To desist. In 1880 he
interest uf z. r. was purchased by his
brother, james S. White. who, three
years later. decided TO complete the pres
ent larEe foundry and he did so. From
1888, therefore, may be truly dated the
real progress and prosperity OF the pres
ent concern.
