If you have information to add to this entry, please contact the Site Historian.

During 1920 this company made drag saws operated by Hercules engines. By 1921 Phillips seems to have disappeared, and Hercules had introduced their own drag saws. It is plausible that Phillips was bought out by Hercules; it is also plausible that Phillips gave up when their engine supplier went into competition with them.
