Title:: The McKinney manufacturing company

Collection:: Economics Books

as an addition to the company’s general builders’ hardware line. This step was the result of a close survey of the grow- ing tendency on the part of interior decorators and home builders to use forged iron in their decorative schemes. Several nationally known architects were consulted and used in the research work and in the selecting of the old originals, copies of which the company was to forge. The makers of the famous McKinney hinges have now made available beautiful forged iron pieces to fit the spirit of the modern period homes. It is fabricated in the finest and most authentic traditions of the art of metal craftsman- ship. Adaptation of forged iron hardware to modern building requirements has heretofore presented a hard problem. To overcome difficulties McKinney was most fortunately placed, for, as manufacturers of hinges of long standing, there was available a wealth of practical exper- ience in solving the problems of application. To enable the builders of a period home to carry out the same decorative motif throughout the home and the en- trances, four beautiful forged iron lanterns have been added to the forged iron line. They blend into their surroundings and add that touch of genuineness and hospitality which is so much desired by lovers of the home beautiful. When the company was founded in 1865 the space oc- cupied was approximately 5,000 square feet. Today the factories and warehouses cover about 214 city squares with a floor space of over 400,000 square feet, approximately 9 acres, and give employment to 800. Recently a large 314 story factory adjoining McKinney Manufacturing Com- pany’s premises was purchased to make room for the steady srowth of the business. The officers and directors of the company are Wm. C. Farr, president and treasurer; R. G. McKinney, vice presi- dent; Jas. P. McKinney, Jr., vice president; Wm. S. Me- Kinney, vice president; and Robt. L. McKinney, secretary. Branch offices are located in Boston, New York, Balti- more, Chicago, San Francisco, Montreal and Toronto. Ex- port representatives market the products all over the world.
