The Sinker-Davis Company, successors to Sinker, Davis & Co. and the Eagle Machine Works Company, is the outgrowth of the first two important industrial institutions established in this city. The present business was incorporated in 1888 as the Sinker-Davis Company, and in July, 1896, acquired the business of the Eagle Machine Works Company by purchase, moving into the plant occupied by the latter concern, on Missouri street and the Union railroad, from the site occupied for more than thirty years. The Sinker-Davis Company is looked upon as one of the landmarks in the city's industrial development, growing steadily with the city in its forward movement. The business embraces the building of engines, boilers, heavy band and circular sawmills, etc., on an extensive scale, and the output finds a steady market throughout the United States and in Mexico and South American countries. Over 200 men are employed in the various departments, and since the establishment of the business it has been in operation more continuous days than any other factory in the city. The new plant covers over three acres, and is fitted with all the best and latest improved machinery. The officers of the company are: J. H. Hooker, president; H. R. Bliss, secretary and treasurer. |
