Among the representative industrial establishments of Brooklyn having a wide

business was established in 1866 by Mr. H. B. ScCHOLES, who was succeeded by 
Mr. J. W. THOMPSON. In 1876 Mr. Thomson died, when the present copartners 
assumed control. 

The foundry, machine shop, etc., of this reliable firm are convenient and 
spacious, and are fully equipped with the latest improved tools, appliances, 
and machinery necessary for the systematic and successful conduct of the business. 

One hundred and twenty workmen, mechanics, and operatives are employed, and the 
machinery is operated by a thirty- horse power steam engine. Messrs. J. S. & G. F. 
Simpson are highly skilled mechanics, and all the operations of their North 
Brooklyn Iron Foundry are conducted under their personal supervision. 

Both partners are greatly respected by the community for their ability, 
enterprise, and integrity.
