not economy to buy II make4shift job

LAMBERTVILLE IRON &
STEEL COMPANY, INC.

One of the oldest industries in
Lambertville is the foundry on South
Union street. Immediately prior to
1912 it was operated under the COM
pany name of Coombs & Massey. At
that time there was a reorganization
and the name was changed to the
Lambertville Iron 4 Steel Co. Mr..
Coombs, now dead, left the company
at that time.
The present officers of the CON-
pany are Fred. w. Massey, shperin-
tendent; John E. Massey, president
and treasurer; w F. Hayhulst, Sec
rotary.
The product of this plant is high
grade iron and semi-steel castings.
One of the biggest customers Of the
company is the Ransome- Concrete
Machinery Company, of Dunellen, N.
j. Another is the Bell Electric Mo-
tor Co., of Garwood, N. j. This plant
is the only one of its kind in a radius
of twelve miles around Lambertville
and it adequately serves the various
manufactures of Lambertville and
surrounding towns. The efficient
management of its present admin
istration has rapidly brought it to
the front as an organization of first
class service AMI high grade work.
manship.
For number of years, while the
Linotype typesetting machine was
assembled with parts from different
plants over the country, the Lam
bertville Iron & Steel Co. supplied a
large number of it's castings. The
machine now used by this paper was
built during that time, and no doubt
has parts in it that were cast at the
Lambertville Iron & Steel plant.
The range Of work done in their
plant is sufficient to supply any type
of castings weighing from one pound
to two tons. Its convenience to To-
cal manufactures makes il invalu-
able for quick work, and its prices are
such as to save money to its buyers
over long hauls from other cities.

JOE FINkLE
Junk Dealer

Did you ever stop to think that
there is romance in this unsavory
business of Junk Dealer? Rag, pa
per and scrap metals do not strike
you as romantic at aldo they?
But did you know that if it were
not for the junk dealers of the United
States that your newspapers and
magazines would cost You twice as
much money that hardware and
metal building materials would add
fifty per cent to your original costs ?
That is true. Because if the mill
lions of tons of otherwise wasted
materials We're not gathered together
by the Junk Dealers of the United
States it would decrease the supply
of raw materials. And ultimately
you, as the consumer, would have TO
pay more for the things you have to
buy which are made out of these raw
materials. Isn't it romantic to con,
slider the thousands Of vicissitudes and
Nh"hENS tiiiu Ntiitu litst iHttti nus
pass before they reach You as finish
ed products?
1t is also romantic to think. of the
thousands of little boys and girls who
have made spending money by gather
ing waste materials and selling them
to Joe Finkle. Think of the many
toys that have been bought by these
pennies saved up-the bicycles, mar
bles, tops, doll and wagons! Things
some boys and girls would have had
to so without had they not been able
to gather the cast-away things about
their homes and sell them to Joe
FinlSle.
When Joe Finkle came to Lam
bertville twenty-five years ago, he
drove an old spawned horse that was
blind in one eye and had the heavos.
He tells US that he felt ashamed TO
go ON the street. But with n reputa-
ton for honesty and square dealing
he has become one of the best known
characters in this section Of the eoun-
try. He has served the people by
marketing things that would other
wise have been loss to them. He
has been successful, honestly and
above board. And the place he fills
in Lambertville and vicinity is not to
be scoffcd at.
