Description: |
An 1857-58 Milwaukee city directory lists J. B. Smith & Co. as a planing mill and ash factory; it was located on West Water between Fowler and Menomonee.This mortiser was featured as "J. B. Smith's Patent Mortising Machine" in an 1858 catalog from J. A. Fay & Co., and cost $150, "complete with right to use". It is entirely possible that it was made by Smith himself and not by J. A. Fay & Co. |
