In building this work it is necessary to operate a machine-shopand foundry, so that in their productions every part is made on the plantand under the direct supervision of the firm. In their foundry departmentthey make a large output in iron and brass castings, the fine grade turnedout leading to sales throughout New England. The firm members are William Allen and his sons, George L. Allen andWilliam P.

Wyman & Gordon. — This firm was founded in 1883, and its business wasestablished at the present location on Bradley street. Its operations werebegun in a small way, but the business volume has steadily increased, eventhrough the dull times there being no cessation in its growth, until nowabout 100 high-grade workmen are employed. Drop-forgings of iron, steel or any of the metals are made in all sizes,large or small, and the range of the firms work is probably greater thanthat of any other factory. Some of the most powerful machinery in thecountry, excejjfing that used at the Carnegie works, is employed, and jiartsof about everything in iron and other metal work are produced. The territory covered by the firm extends to all parts of the world, as inrecent times a great deal of work for export is done. The firms members are H. W. Wyman and L. F. Gordon.
