Frontier Iron Works, Buffalo
Founded around 1902, Frontier Iron Works manufactured Drill Presses and Power Hacksaws of William Robertson’s design, who was promoted to the position of general sales manager.
In 1910. the Acme Pattern Works, Buffalo, has been absorbed by the Frontier Iron Works, of the same place.
The Frontier Iron Works, Buffalo, advises that the two-story building which it is now erecting, is to be occupied by the Robertson Drill & Tool Co., controlled by the Frontier company and by the Acme Pattern Works, a firm which makes all the Frontier's patterns. The drill and tool company will be moved from its present plant, 1848 Niagara street, when the building is finished, and will have sufficient machinery to equip the new plant. Later, the Frontier Company may be in the market for a few machines to use in boring cylinders.
