treasurer and one of the directors of new
company recently organized in Lowell,
Mass, with capital OF $500, 900 for the
manufacture of machinery. That Mr..
Burke was leader in the organization OF
the company will be seen by the following
| taken from the Lowell Courier: ''The
Shaw Machine Company is organized as
the result of the recent consolidation of
textile machinery interests in the East by
the Saco & Pettee Company. But for that
transaction the Shaw Company would not
have been organized. Believing that there
was room for shop not controlled by the
merged interests, Frederick P. Shaw,
formerly assistant superintendent and pay
master of the Lowell Machine Shop, which
had been acquired by the trust, discussed
the proposition of new plant with Supt.
Hildreth, and in consequence other expe-
rlenced men became interested. The at
tention of John G. Burke was later called
to the possibilities of a new machine shop,
and he took charge OF the work of organ
iziDg for that purpose" In speaking of
the formation of the company, the Lowell
Sun says: "Hon. John Z. Burke; the
treasurer, is too well known to the people
OF Lowell to require an Introduction in
these columns. Mr.. Burke said this morn
ing he was pleased to be associated with
the new company. He has the utmost
confidence in Mr.. Shaw and he is firm in
the belief that the new company will pros
per from the beginning. 1T is the kind
nf on ind hot
for said Mr.. Burke, and 1 am pleased to
be associated with an enterprise that
means so much for Lowell. / will enter
into the work of the office assigned me
with all the energy and enthusiasm that
can muster"
