ALVIN MFG. CO.

The Alvin Mfg. Co. in their career have carved out a plan of business of their own, and have attained marked success in their several unique lines of silver work. The company incorporated on Aug. 17, 1887, for the manufacture of sterling silverware and novelties. Wm. A. Jamouneau is president and secretary of the company, and Henry L. Leibe is treasurer. Both are practical mechanics and thoroughly posted in all the technical processes involved in the manufacture of silverware. The business of the company, which took a factory in the large building at 24 Boudinot St., Newark, N. J., increased to such an extent that it became necessary for them to procure more capacious quarters in which to carry on the industry. Their recently erected works are situated near the village of Irvington, N. J. The main building is an immense brick structure two stories high with basement, 120 feet long by 40 feet wide.

Doubtless the most novel and at the same time artistic work turned out by this company is that known as electro-deposit goods. This class of work was invented and brought to a state of commercial success by this firm. An important branch of this special process is the coating of handles for umbrellas and canes. This company have been among the most extensive producers of souvenir spoons.

The company have offices at 860 Broadway, Silversmiths’ Hall, New York.

George E. Fahys, Jr., of the Alvin Silver Co., will sail for Europe today on the Republic. Mr. Fahys is going abroad for the purpose of gathering data which he will use in advertising a new pattern in silverware which the Alvin concern will shortly put on the market. He will also attend the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World which is to be held at London and while abroad will broadcast a talk on “The Development of American Silverware.” This talk will be given from the Savoy Hotel in London on or about July 15 and arrangements are being made in America to listen in to the address in New York and to relay it from there to Chicago, thence on to San Francisco, which will probably make it one of the longest, as far as distance is concerned, of any talk that has been given over the air for purely advertising purposes. Mr. Fahys is accompanied by Mrs. Fahys. While in Europe they will visit the battlefields of France and Belgium. Mr. Fahys served as captain of Field Artillery during the war and has recently been appointed a major in the Reserve Corps. He will visit the battlefields as a representative of Forest Hills’ Post, American Legion, of which he is commander.
