WILSON & SONS, manufacturers; P. O. South Lebanon; the gentlemen whose names constitute this firm are from the State of Delaware. James Wilson, the senior member of the firm, is the patentee of the double-seamed powder keg, which they are exclusively engaged in manufacturing. Their business was founded in September, 1880. The first year they turned out 100,000 kegs. They give employment to a dozen skilled workmen. T. J. McClellan is general business manager, and son-in-law to James Wilson. William and J. W. Wilson, sons of James Wilson, the patentee, are also members of the company. All are new men in Warren Co., and their enterprise and business capacity will add much to our manufacturing interests. |
