THE HOMAN MANUFACTURING CO.

Manufacturers of Silver-Plated Wares

The Homan Manufacturing Company was established in Cincinnati in 1847. Its factory was originally located on East Seventh street. In 1906, these premises becoming inadequate on account of the growth of business, a new factory was erected on Findlay street and Western and Halbert avenues. The new plant is the largest west of New England, and one of the most modern and efficient in equipment in the United States.

The company is engaged in the manufacture of silver-plated wares. Its products include practically all articles made in silver-plated ware, exclusive of knives, forks and spoons.

Until recently the company had limited its manufactures to articles plated on a Britannia metal base, but it has in the past year added a complete assortment of patterns plated on nickel silver or German silver, and popularly known as Sheffield goods.


The product is manufactured complete, including the preparation of the metal and the forming operations, as well as the plating and finishing. The output is shipped to all parts of the United States, and many foreign countries.
