THE O. HOMMEL CO. About thirty-five years ago, in a room in a building in the downtown section of Pittsburgh, O. Hommel, the head of this company, started the business by supplying makers of picture frames, gilders of ornaments, lithographers, painters and manufacturers of other surfaced material with a bronze powder imported from Germany. This room enclosed the office and the receiving and selling departments. The busi- ness progressed and from this humble beginning has arisen a large factory, covering approximately three acres of ground at Carnegie, Pa., with general and executive offices at Car- negie and Pittsburgh and sales offices in the most important sities of the United States, the vested interests approximating syne half million dollars. “Quality First” was the motto, coupled with the watch- word “Service,” and Mr. Hommel realized that, in order to insure to the trade uniform material and satisfactory de- liveries, it would be necessary to go into the manufacturing business. Bronze Powder has an extensive use in surfacing. You see it on wall paper and moldings, picture frames, lamp bases of every variety and shades of bronze; labels; letter heads; Christmas cards; radiators; pipe; gilt painting, es- pecially on iron objects, indoors and out, and on many other sbiects. Soon after the bronze factory was well established the company embarked in the production of oxides and colors for use in glass, pottery and iron enamel tiades. With the motto “Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten,” always in view, the company is always reaching out for something better. With Mr. Hommel’s long experience and study of industries which it serves and with his staff of expert assistants this branch of the business has grown to large proportions, and has become one of immense value to the ceramic industry. Every color of oxide and almost every shade of colors are produced for the iron enamel trade, and all varieties of known colors are brought out for the glass and pottery trade and art decora- tors.
