Howard and Bullough American Machine Co.
The American company manufactured a full range of British designed machinery for the cotton-textile industry in North and South America. At its peak the 500,000 square foot factory employed eleven hundred people. Howard & Bullough (H. & B.) were offered the twenty-five acre site and a ten year tax exemption worth $60,000 as the lure ahead of other potential locations. Construction of the $80,000 plant began in early April 1894.
H. & B. was the first direct investment by a British manufacturer in the United States. artinruins.com
