Mr.Kloman succeeded in making iron beams and for many years our mill was far in advance of any other in that respect.

We began at the new mill by making all shapes which were required, and especially such as no other concern would undertake, depending upon an increasing demand in our growing country for things that were only rarely needed at first.

What others could not or would not do we would attempt, and this was a rule of our business which was strictly adhered to.

Also we would make nothing except of excellent quality.

We always accommodated our customers, even although at some expense to ourselves, and in cases of dispute we gave the other party the benefit of the doubt and settled.
