The Macomber & Whyte Rope Co. of Chicago
have been unusually busy this year on mining
ropes, of which they make a specialty, both for
hoisting and haulage purposes. This company
has largely increased their facilities during the
past year, having removed their New York office
and warehouse to 122 to 130 Centre street, to obtain
larger quarters, and having opened a warehouse
and office in Pittsburgh, their office at this
point being located in the Times building. They
still maintain their Pacific coast office and warehouse
at 815 Colman Dock, Seattle, and have
closed a number of important agencies, which include
the Todd-Donigan Iron Co., Louisville, the
William T. Johnston Co., Cincinnati. Sunderland
Roofing & Supply Co.. Omaha, Great Western Mfg.
Co., Kansas City, Reed & Duecker, Memphis, and
Gibbens & Stream, New Orleans. This concern
has met with unusual success since the installation
of their modern wire rope plant at Coal Citv.

them regarding their special mine ropes.
