It absorbed the Standard Company, another wire producer, in 1918. It became a subsidiary of Combustion Engineering, Inc. in 1970. Its products were used primarily in elevator construction and mining machinery. The collection consists of a general ledger, an inventory, a catalog of elevator parts, a newspaper clipping, and a facsimile of the company crest; and an account ledger from the Standard Company. | |
