Emerson C. Strange — Manufacturer of Cast Steel Cylinder Saws, Improved Hogshead, Barrel, Nail Keg, Tub and Pail Machinery and Improved Box Board Machines, Combination Foot Lathes, Patent Combination Vise and Drill, etc.— No. 36 Washington Street.
Strange's Machine Works of Taunton was one of the pioneers in this particular industry, having been engaged in it since 1827, when the works were established by Elias Strange, father of the present proprietor, who, in time, after some changes, succeeded to the business in 1885 under the present title. The works, which occupy all of the three-story frame building, 60 x 80 feet, at No. 36 Washington street, are equipped in the best manner with steam power and all requisite iron, steel and woodworking machinery and special tools, while a sufficient force of skilled mechanics is employed to fill all orders promptly, whether for delivery in the United States and Canada or for export to other countries. The specialties made here embrace the latest perfected improvements in cooperage machinery, together with boxboard machines, combination foot lathes, improved iron tackle blocks, and, latest and among the most ingenious and useful of all, E. C. Strange's patent combination vise and drill for the use of mechanics, amateurs, jewelers and others to whom a handy tool of the kind is of importance. It is made of the best materials and in four sizes and styles, ranging in weight from 27 inches to 22 pounds, and in price from $1 to $7. Attachments extra. Complete catalogues are sent on application. |
