Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE History about Hamilton Manufacturing In 1878, Hamilton was asked by William Nash, the editor of the local Two Rivers Chronicle, to cut type for a poster Nash needed to print. Nash did not have enough time to order new type and knew of Hamilton's skill with a saw. Hamilton used a foot-power scroll saw to cut the letters, and then mounted them to a block of wood. The type printed so well that he sent samples to area printers and upon receiving orders formed the J. E. Hamilton Holly Wood Type Company. As the Midwestern United States grew in the late 1800s, print shops and newspapers were established by the new populace. Type made in the Eastern U.S. was too expensive and took too long for delivery for Midwestern printers. Hamilton's location in Wisconsin and cheaper production methods allowed him to service the new printers by providing a product that was "half the price, in the half the time." On November 1, 1881, Hamilton took on a partner and sold half of his company to Max Katz and renamed the business Hamilton & Katz. Katz retired from the company in 1887 and the Hamilton Manufacturing Company was incorporated on January 1, 1889 with Hamilton as the majority stock holder. By 1891, the company had a workforce of 200 employees and $500,000 worth of business. Hamilton Mfg. Co. was able to acquire all of its major competition, including Page, Morgans & Wilcox, and Heber Wells, during the 1890s. Tubbs Mfg Co, the last major competitor from the nineteenth century, was acquired in 1909. Hamilton added the end-cut method to their production in 1888, and phased out use of the veneer method around 1890. After the acquisition of the William H. Page Wood Type Co in 1891, Hamilton gained the machinery to produce type with the die-cut method. The economic and geographic advantages Hamilton had allowed him to dominate the market and acquire the competition. In 1909, he purchased the Tubbs Manufacturing Company in Ludington, Michigan which was the last of his major competitors in business. The company grew and expanded its product line to include type cabinets and other furniture useful in the press room, then to furniture for dental and medical offices and labs, drafting tables and furnishings, and the first gas-powered clothes dryer. Forging ahead with the technology of new materials, around 1917 the company began to use steel more often than wood to manufacture furnishings. The company changed its name to Hamilton Wood Type Manufacturing, and today is known as Hamilton Laboratory Solutions, manufacturer of laboratory furniture and fume hoods. *************************************Ludington (/ˈlʌdɪŋtən/ LUH-ding-tən) is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan.

In 1845, Burr Caswell moved to the area near the mouth of the Pere Marquette River as a location for trapping and fishing. In July 1847, when he brought his family to live there, they became the first permanent residents of European ancestry. Two years later they built a two-story wood-framed house on their farm.[7] After the organization of Mason County in 1855, the first floor of this building was converted into the county's first courthouse. Restored in 1976 by the Mason County Historical Society, the structure stands today as a part of White Pine Village, a museum consisting of several restored and replica Mason County buildings Ludington Light The town was originally named Pere Marquette,[8] then later named after the industrialist James Ludington, whose logging operations the village developed around.Ludington was incorporated as a city in 1873, the
