Pulaski Iron Company Correspondence

0.1 Cubic Feet 1 folder
This Pulaski Iron Company Correspondence contains 43 documents, letters, and receipts dated 1895-1923. The letters are primarily to John N. Gordon, a lawyer and iron company merchant in Richmond, Virginia, from the Pulaski Iron Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There are additional letters from Matthew Addy & Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, and The Low Moor Iron Company of Virginia. Most of the letters discuss prices, customers, and the overall state of the market. There are also several receipts for iron and two reports on the tests of a charcoal pig iron. Three additional letters dated 1901-1923 are seemingly unrelated to Gordon or the iron companies.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
