1950 · Fall River, Massachusetts
by Perry, E. J.
Fall River, Massachusetts: E. J. Perry Machinery Corp, 1950. Very Good. A group of eight industrial photographs in 8 x 10 and 10 x 8 formats. Blank on verso. Minor blemishes, nice condition. E. J. Perry Machinery Corporation was an industrial processing machinery manufacturer. Six of the eight photographs have visible plates from the company on the equipment - the other two fit based on type (many of these appear to be industrial drying equipment). A nice set of images of a Fall River, Massachusetts company.
According to the April 23, 1945 issue of "Steel, the Magazine of Metalworking and Metal Producing" the company moved from New Bedford to Fall River. One of the images has the Fall River address on it, hence we've dated these images to circa 1950. The 1936 New Bedford directory shows a number of machinists in the company employ.
