Silver Creek, NY: Greenleaf & Montgomery, 1853. First edition. Moderate wear, and slight loss along fold, some creasing, still about very good.. Broadside. 12" x 11 1/2" An early industrial broadside from the town of Silver Creek, on the shore of Lake Erie in Western New York State, founded in the early 19th century by Massachusetts residents, incorporated in 1848, and an important port on the Lake until the coming of the railroad. The area had a number of businesses active in producing machinery (including Howes Babcock) given its strategic location in the country's westward expansion. Greenleaf & Montgomery, the names at the bottom of the broadside, were William R. Greenleaf and Ezekiel Montgomery, who formed this company to produce steam engines and mill machinery. Not only do they argue for the superiority of their steam operated saw mills, but claim invention of mully-heads for saw mills, whether steam or water powered, and guaranteed to produce the best results. No copies located in OCLC, NUC, or other online sources; possibly unique. Andrew Young: History of Chautauqua County, New York, pp. 409-420. (Inventory #: 40115)
