"...In no
branch of industry in the United States have more rapid strides been
made than in the manufacture of flat and hollow silver-plated ware. For
many years European manufacturers had complete control of this market
but now, through the energy, skill, and abitity of American
manufacturers, silver-plated ware is produced in this country quite
equal, if not superior, to the finest goods made abroad. A
representative and progressive house in New Bedford is that of the
Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, which was incorporated under the laws
of the State in 1880, with a paid-up capital of $100,000....The works in New Bedford are spacious and admirably
equipped with all the latest improved machinery, apparatus, and
appliances necessary for the successful prosecution of this important
industry. Three hundred experienced and skillful operatives are employed
in the various departments and the machinery is driven by a powerful
steam engine. Only artists of talent are employed in the department of
design, which enables the company to produce articles in a style
conforming to the highest rules of art. The stock possesses all the
elements of real silver in beauty, finish, elegance, grace of form,
reliability, and durability. The flat
and hollow silver-plated ware is everywhere recognized and appreciated
by the trade in this country and abroad, and has no superior in the
American or European markets, always commanding a ready sale owing to
its intrinsic excellence and artistic finish."
