L. G. Tillotson & Co.

THE N. Y. Weekly Pathfinder contains the following sketch of this well-known firm, whose advertisement may be found upon another page of THE TELEGRAPHER:

"Among the most interesting and important features of the Fair at the American Institute this session, has been the variety of mechanical inventions in the show-case of L. G. TILLOTSON & CO., the well-known manufacturers of and dealers in every description of railway and telegraph supplies.

"This firm commenced business in this city in 1862, the senior member having previously been a practical telegrapher, for fifteen years in charge of the lines upon the Erie Railway, and the junior (General E. S. GREELEY), a practical machinist of many years' experience.

"Thy are very largely engaged in manufacturing all the material used in the construction and operation of telegraph lines. Their extensive shop at 37 Elm street is in charge of Mr. E. PIERSON, formerly superintendent of the mechanical department of the Western Union Telegraph Co.

"The attention of visitors to the fair has been specially attracted by the perfect symmetry and big finish of the machinery exhibited by TILLOTSON & CO., including registers, relay magnets, sounders, keys, a great variety of galvanic batteries, insulators, and all the leading paraphernalia pertaining to telegraphic science. Their new styles of carbon battery, which consists of extra-sized tumblers, porous cups and zincs, with OGDEN'S improved patent immersed platinum connection carbons, is so marked an improvement that it is being generally adopted.

"Messrs. TILLOTSON & CO. are now engaged in the construction of a very ingenious instrument for the use of stock brokers, and designed to connect every broker's office in the city with the board of brokers - telegraphing, in plainly printed characters, the quotations of each stock, as soon as called. It will prove very valuable in the saving of labor and time, obviating much anxiety, and facilitating financial operations."
