with the Salter company Is years
! and is now at its Glauber division
| plant in Kinsman, and from Sid
ney L. Fisher, former president

| Neither Mr.. Salter nor J. j, Rar-
din, president and vice president,
respectively, of the company,
were able to attend the banquet.
Both were unavoidably out of
town on business trips which they
had planned several months ago,
and it was impossible to schedule
the banquet itself for any other
night.
| Started in 1904
The Salter company, although
under its present name only since
Mr.. Salter acquired principal ow-
nership therein in 1941, has been
| in existence for more that AZ
years. 1t was started in 1904 as the
Regent Brass co.
About 80 years ago, the Fisher
| family took over its ownership,
and the firm continued under the
nome of Fisher Brass until Mr..
Salter acquired ownership in l94l.
He, however, came to MarySville
as its manager in January, 1887.
Since acquiring its ownership,
Mr.. Salter has greatly expanded
and modernized the plant. A new
office building was completed IN
1912, and a new foundry building
was erected in 1914. Both are eff
ficient and attractive in design,
and the foundry is the most mod
ern in the nation today. Addition
expansion is planned for the plant
by Mr.. Salter as material becomes
available.
About two years ago Mr., Sal
ter acquired the Glauber brass
CO. at Kinsman, and controls sew
eral other plants, which, IN all
make the Salter firm fourth in
the nation in the production of
plumbing goods. At the present
time, the Salter plant here has ap-
proximately 325 employees, while
, another $50 are working at the
Glauber plant.
