G. H. Nichols and Company
G. H. Nichols and Company was an American industrial company founded by William Henry Nichols and his partner, Charles W. Walter.
==Background==
In 1870, Nichols, assisted by Walter, started making acids.〔 Anonymous. Guide to the Phelps Dodge Corporation Laurel Plant Records 1893-1983 Control # P-13, manuscript finding aid. Coll. 507. Archives at the Queens Library, Long Island Division, Queens Borough Public Library: http://www.queenslibrary.org/research/archives/manuscripts/Phelps%20dodge%20finding%20aid.xml〕 He attended the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute when it was a prep school and worked at the institute laboratory for two years.〔 Article, Jones, Daniel P., and Robert F.

Draper, under whom he chose to study.〔 Draper was considered an outstanding chemist who later became a founder of the American Chemical Society.〔
In an interview conducted by Gerhard Hershfeld, Nichols revealed that the greatest characteristic of his father (William Henry Nichols) was his "bent for research."〔 He also described his father William as a dreamer who was "always trying to figure out what the world would look like twenty years hence."〔 During the 1870s, with the coming of the electrical age, Nichols put every bit of his ability and his resources to produce high-grade copper on a large scale.〔 Nichols was the first man in the chemical industry to use pyrite (the common sulphide of iron) in place of brimstone.〔 According to Nichols in an interview, "the more he discovered, the more he found to discover, and the greater his business grew, the greater was his effort to make it grow."〔
