The main offices of the Company are located in the First National Bank Building, and district offices are maintained in New York and Chicago. THE McALEENAN BROTHERS CO. THE McALEENAN CORPORATION About fifteen years ago a large boiler company located in Pittsburgh changed ownership. The usual transitions oc- curred. Veterans went their way, seeking new fields, while replacements came in to carry out the new ideas that new owners believed only possible of fruition by a changed per- sonnel. One man, for fifteen years the superintendent under the old regime, was out of a job. But what’s a job when there is a small plot of ground hungering for a new plant where a man of vision can put to the test the practicability of new ideas merged with ripe years of experience in knowing how—in planning, designing and constructing boilers and other products made of steel?

Today that once small plant has spread out to such an extent that the first impression that comes to a visitor is that the railroad tracks seem like the small boy at his marbles who keep shouting at his competitor, “No hunching.” For the present plant of the MecAleenan Brothers Co. covers the entire property fronting 200 feet on Railroad street by 400 feet on Twenty-fifth street.
