The company furnishes all the leading water works, rail- 
roads and industrial plants with its automatic valves be- 
cause they are indispensable for efficient and economic 
operation and for preventing loss of life and property in case 
of accidents. The valves are furnished in bronze, cast iron 
and cast steel, according to the service requirements and con- 
ditions. 
Prominence was given to the correct mechanical design 
of these valves by tests made by the Steel Corporation, who 
wanted only the best for life and property protection, and 
the Golden-Anderson valves proved their merit and du- 
rability over all competitive makes of similar valves which 
were included in that test. 
The company only builds automatic control valves, and 
most prominent among its designs are automatic valves for 
boilers to protect life and property in case of boiler or steam 
line explosions; for steam engines to prevent fly-wheel ex- 
plosions; altitude valves to maintain a constant water level 
in tanks, standpipes and reservoirs without the use of floats 
or complicated fixtures; and regulating pressure valves for 
reducing a higher pressure to a lower fixed pressure. 
The officers of the company are C. E. Golden, president; 
E. V. Anderson, vice president; D. B. Golden, treasurer, 
and J. A. Voland, secretary. Representatives of the com- 
pany are established in all the principal cities of the United 
States. 
THE HEPPENSTALL FORGE & KNIFE CO. 
Back in 1889, in a little building about twenty-five by 
fifty feet, the Samuel Trethewey & Co., Ltd., was organized 
for the manufacture of shears and rolling mill machinery. 
Samuel Trethewey, the founder of this company, held some 
patents on certain parts of steam hammers and shears. 
The next year, 1890, the name of the firm was changed 
to the Trethewey Manufacturing Co. and the plant was 
moved to a plot of ground fifty by one hundred thirty-five 
feet, at 47th and Hatfield Streets, about the middle of the 
present location of the Heppenstall Forge and Knife Co. 
At this same time, the company also began the manufacture 
of shear knives.
