MILLER SAW-TRIMMER COMPANY The Miller Saw-Trimmer Company, corner Penn avenue and Water street, are the largest manufacturers of automatic feeders for printing presses and the largest manufacturers of printers’ saw-trimmers in the world. This company lo- cated in Alma, Michigan, until 1918, and was brought, while there, to the attention of the Pittsburgh Industrial Develop- ment Commission. Investigation followed, which resulted in the establishment of the company in Pittsburgh, where in June, 1913, it was installed on the fifth floor of the Point Building. This one floor was sufficient to house the entire office staff, engineering and mechanical forces, which totaled at that time thirty-five people. The plant now occupies the entire eight floors of the Point Building as well as another building adjoining. Its entire forces now total upwards of sight hundred men and women. In 1919, the Miller Saw-Trimmer Co., with its great demand for perfect, intricate gray-iron castings, engaged in the manufacture of its own castings by establishing the Pittsburgh Gray Iron Foundry at South avenue and Walker street, North Side, with up-to-date foundry machinery and an organization of one hundred and fifty men. This foundry is not only providing castings for the Miller Saw-Trimmer Co., but has built up a very large commercial trade. Its output is known as the most perfect casting in Western Pennsylvania. From the manufacture of a single product, namely Saw- Trimmers, it has expanded to the building of Automatic Printing Press machinery that has found a place not only in this country, but in Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Chili, Paraguay, Peru, Argentine Republic, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Porto Rico, Japan, China, India, Java, Aus- tralia, Philippine Islands and throughout the entire Dom- inion of Canada. The Miller Saw-Trimmer Co. has of its own manufacture 31,105 machines in operation in printing, lithographing and engraving plants. Its product consists of automatic platen press feeders, automatic cylinder presses. automatic die
